Potato pancake, kimchi pancake, chive pancake — they're all completely my type, so it was so hard to pick just one, hahahaha, ㅠ What we ended up ordering was gamssachidak, which comes with cheese dakgalbi!! ![Cheese dakgalbi (gamssachidak) served on a hot plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-dakgalbijeon-gamssachidak-weekend/gangnam-dakgalbijeon-gamssachidak-weekend-09-bqwpc-900.webp) The dakgalbi comes out already almost fully stir-fried, so once the cheese melts, you can just dig right in. ![Hot plate of dakgalbi topped with melted cheese](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-dakgalbijeon-gamssachidak-weekend/gangnam-dakgalbijeon-gamssachidak-weekend-10-qe5in-900.webp) ![A bite of dakgalbi coated in cheese](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-dakgalbijeon-gamssachidak-weekend/gangnam-dakgalbijeon-gamssachidak-weekend-11-d3nlh-900.webp) You could choose between udon noodles or ramen noodles as an add-on, and personally, I felt like thick, chewy udon noodles go better with dakgalbi, so that's what I picked. The sweet-spicy sauce paired with the savory richness of the cheese — how could that combination not be delicious...🥹🥹 ![Cheese dakgalbi with added udon noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-dakgalbijeon-gamssachidak-weekend/gangnam-dakgalbijeon-gamssachidak-weekend-12-3gdy8-900.webp) ![Udon noodles wrapped in melted cheese](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-dakgalbijeon-gamssachidak-weekend/gangnam-dakgalbijeon-gamssachidak-weekend-13-ehdsd-900.webp) ![Close-up of sweet-spicy cheese dakgalbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-dakgalbijeon-gamssachidak-weekend/gangnam-dakgalbijeon-gamssachidak-weekend-14-dogk8-900.webp) What I loved most was that since it's nearly fully cooked already, there's no long wait — you can dig in right away haha ![Dakgalbi served already stir-fried and ready to eat](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-dakgalbijeon-gamssachidak-weekend/gangnam-dakgalbijeon-gamssachidak-weekend-15-1q3tn-900.webp) ![A chopstick full of dakgalbi lifted up](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-dakgalbijeon-gamssachidak-weekend/gangnam-dakgalbijeon-gamssachidak-weekend-16-hgvwb-900.webp) ## Cheese dakgalbi wrapped in perilla leaf potato pancake And now, the moment we'd been waiting for — the potato pancake~~ I never expected dakgalbi and potato pancake to pair so well, but wrapping the dakgalbi in the pancake like a wrap was genuinely delicious hahaha ![Perilla leaf potato pancake at Dakgalbijeon Gangnam Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-dakgalbijeon-gamssachidak-weekend/gangnam-dakgalbijeon-gamssachidak-weekend-17-1mxpr-966.webp) The edges come out crispy like fried food, and the fragrant aroma of the perilla leaf along with the mild, clean flavor of the potato really tamed the spiciness of the dakgalbi — I couldn't put my chopsticks down..★ ![Wrapping dakgalbi in potato pancake to eat](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-dakgalbijeon-gamssachidak-weekend/gangnam-dakgalbijeon-gamssachidak-weekend-18-ivrdo-900.webp) ![A piece of perilla potato pancake with crispy edges](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-dakgalbijeon-gamssachidak-weekend/gangnam-dakgalbijeon-gamssachidak-weekend-19-14u7x-900.webp) ![Potato pancake paired with cheese dakgalbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-dakgalbijeon-gamssachidak-weekend/gangnam-dakgalbijeon-gamssachidak-weekend-20-1v855-900.webp) ## Finishing the meal with fried rice Finishing things off by mixing the leftover sauce and cheese base into a K-dessert fried rice made for the perfect complete meal~~ ![Cheese fried rice mixed with leftover sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-dakgalbijeon-gamssachidak-weekend/gangnam-dakgalbijeon-gamssachidak-weekend-21-7j18u-m-900.webp) With its great accessibility near Sinnonhyeon Station and available parking, plus a full house at weekend lunch proving its status as a dakgalbi restaurant near Gangnam Station worth the hype!!
