Side dishes and the sample naengchae jokbal

The free side dishes included garlic sauce, ssamjang (seasoned soybean paste), salted shrimp, lettuce wraps, dried radish strips, kimchi, chives, and a sample of naengchae jokbal (cold jokbal salad). The naengchae jokbal was so good I kept thinking about that cold sauce afterward — honestly, everything paired perfectly with the bossam! And the garlic sauce went so well with the bossam that I kept dipping piece after piece into it.

Bossam and makguksu set for 41,000 won: how did it taste?

I ordered the bossam + makguksu set (₩41,000). It's a combination that can't go wrong — the bossam meat was soft and moist, with a mild, clean taste and no gamey smell at all. The fat-to-lean ratio was just right too, so it wasn't greasy and I kept reaching for more.

The makguksu had a tangy, slightly sweet, and mildly spicy sauce that really woke up the palate, and the chewy noodles paired well with the crunchy vegetables — perfect alongside the bossam. Eating a piece of bossam together with a bite of makguksu was such a great combo of clean and tangy-spicy flavors!

Adding a rice ball instead of plain rice

On top of that, I ordered a rice ball instead of plain rice, and it went so well with the bossam! Made into a round little ball, popping it into your mouth along with a piece of bossam basically demands a shot of soju right after!

Can you see how good the bossam looks?? The two of us were starving and wolfed it all down, and the portion was plenty enough to fill us up!

The side dishes were also served neatly and were easy to enjoy!
