Danyang is famous for garlic, so there are lots of restaurants that use garlic, and among them Danyang Heukmaneul Ssambap is a place where you can taste healthy Korean food built around black garlic, making it a good choice for a meal during a trip. If you prefer mild, hearty Korean food over strongly seasoned dishes, this will suit you even more.

It's a menu that fills the whole table, so it was more than enough for a lunch meal. It came with doenjang paste, black garlic rice, doenjang stew, and black garlic boiled pork, so we could enjoy a variety of food all at once. ![Danyang black garlic rice served in a bowl](https://img.superchart.com/images/danyang-black-garlic-ssambap-lunch/danyang-black-garlic-ssambap-lunch-10-1540f-900.webp) ![Close-up shot of the black garlic rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/danyang-black-garlic-ssambap-lunch/danyang-black-garlic-ssambap-lunch-11-1q0r1-675.webp) ### What does the black garlic rice taste like? The first thing that caught my eye was definitely the black garlic rice. With black garlic mixed in, it had a slightly different flavor from regular white rice. The rice itself wasn't strongly flavored, so it paired well with the pork and the doenjang paste. ![Softly boiled black garlic pork](https://img.superchart.com/images/danyang-black-garlic-ssambap-lunch/danyang-black-garlic-ssambap-lunch-12-1a77f-675.webp) ![Pork and black garlic rice wrapped in a lettuce leaf](https://img.superchart.com/images/danyang-black-garlic-ssambap-lunch/danyang-black-garlic-ssambap-lunch-13-y6wbb-675.webp) ![Black garlic pork served with doenjang paste](https://img.superchart.com/images/danyang-black-garlic-ssambap-lunch/danyang-black-garlic-ssambap-lunch-14-4cimz-900.webp) ### Black garlic boiled pork, gangdoenjang and doenjang stew The black garlic pork was boiled soft and tender, and it went really well wrapped in a lettuce leaf with rice. Add the doenjang paste on top and the savory flavor deepens, so you end up finishing a bowl of rice in no time. ![Doenjang stew served alongside the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/danyang-black-garlic-ssambap-lunch/danyang-black-garlic-ssambap-lunch-15-11sm9-900.webp) Doenjang stew (fermented soybean paste stew) came alongside too, so we could add warm soup to the meal and eat heartily. What I liked most of all was that the seasoning overall wasn't strong — it was light. When you're traveling and eating all kinds of strongly seasoned food, at some point you start craving a meal like this that you can eat comfortably, and this was exactly that kind of meal. ![A light, mild Korean meal spread on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/danyang-black-garlic-ssambap-lunch/danyang-black-garlic-ssambap-lunch-16-lzapk-900.webp) ## Is Danyang Heukmaneul Ssambap a good lunch for a family trip? The seasoning wasn't too strong, so we could taste the natural flavor of the ingredients, and it wasn't too heavy for a lunch menu either. I especially thought this would be a great restaurant to visit if you're planning a Danyang trip with family. It's a menu lineup that works well for everyone from adults to kids to eat together, and being Korean food, likes and dislikes should be relatively rare. It was a good choice when you want a proper meal rather than something quick near the tourist spots. ![Signature photo of the black garlic pork ssambap at Danyang Heukmaneul Ssambap](https://img.superchart.com/images/danyang-black-garlic-ssambap-lunch/danyang-black-garlic-ssambap-lunch-17-1nkf6-m-1200.webp) If you're looking for a good lunch spot in Danyang, I'd recommend Danyang Heukmaneul Ssambap. You can taste black garlic rice that highlights Danyang's local specialty along with pork topped with black garlic sauce, and it's a mild, non-spicy table setting, so it suits you well when you want a hearty lunch during your trip. If you're visiting Danyang Gyeonggyeong Market with family during a Danyang trip, it's worth stopping by at least once.
