I come to Bueokgan often, but this was somehow my first time trying this pizza! It looked so delicious. ![Seafood tomato pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangmu-bucheokgan-basil-seafood-pasta/sangmu-bucheokgan-basil-seafood-pasta-11-imtez-900.webp) Next, I’ve been really craving tomato pasta lately, and this seafood tomato pasta is all about that slight kick of spice. It’s incredibly generous with shrimp, Manila clams, and green mussels. ![Combination of ordered pasta and pizza dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangmu-bucheokgan-basil-seafood-pasta/sangmu-bucheokgan-basil-seafood-pasta-12-6m50z-1200.webp) I think we totally nailed today’s order!!

The toppings were piled on to the point of overflowing, and I enjoyed it so much. ![Truffle mushroom pizza piled high with toppings](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangmu-bucheokgan-basil-seafood-pasta/sangmu-bucheokgan-basil-seafood-pasta-20-95xhh-900.webp) I kept thinking, why have I only just tried this?!!! Mushrooms are so delicious lately too, so please order all three dishes I chose!!! ![Sweet pumpkin pastry soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangmu-bucheokgan-basil-seafood-pasta/sangmu-bucheokgan-basil-seafood-pasta-21-1yjdh-900.webp) We also ordered the sweet pumpkin pastry soup. Rich, smooth sweet pumpkin soup topped with pastry makes it even more filling, so this is another dish I order every time I visit. ## How was it for brunch and get-togethers?
