I met up with friends near Ewha Womans University and we went to Sunhui Dining (순희다이닝). It was on the second floor of the Clio building, and while the interior was not large, it was simple and neat. It looked fine for eating alone, and there was also a table where two people could sit looking outside.

What are the butadon and galbi rice bowl options and prices?

There were three options: butadon (Japanese-style pork rice bowl), spicy butadon, and soboro piled galbi rice. The standard butadon and soboro piled galbi rice were ₩9,500, while the spicy butadon was ₩10,000, and extra meat was available too. The three of us ordered one of each.

The self-service bar had salad, white kimchi, and miso soup. Extra rice was available too, and our food came out relatively quickly.

Which of the three rice bowls was the best?

We shared bites of everything, and for me, the standard butadon was the best. It came topped with an egg yolk, which I mixed in with my chopsticks. We added extra meat to the soboro piled galbi rice, so it felt especially generous with meat.

I enjoyed all three dishes, but the spicy butadon tasted a little salty to me. I thought it would be good with extra rice in that case. I do not usually eat a large amount, but I still had more rice.

Would it be okay to visit with a child?

There were guests visiting with children when I went. I thought the non-spicy standard butadon would be okay for a child to eat too.
