Sukiyaki hot pot with egg and rice refills in Hanam Misa: Roi Sikdang

Today I visited Roi Sikdang, a Hanam Misa favorite where you can enjoy delicious Japanese home cooking in a cute, cozy atmosphere. I'd been here before for dishes like salmon jang (soy-marinated salmon), and this time they'd just launched a new Kanto-style sukiyaki, so I went straight over to try it.

Roi Sikdang serves a variety of Japanese home-style dishes. The space has a warm, cute atmosphere that makes you feel comfortable the whole time you're eating. With salmon jang, rice bowls, pasta, soba and more on the menu, it's a Misa favorite that makes you curious about everything on it.

How do you book a table at Roi Sikdang?

You can book through Naver Reservation before visiting. Reserving ahead makes things a bit more convenient — especially at meal times, when the place tends to get fairly busy.

Parking and what the restaurant feels like inside

There were a few parking spots available right in front of the restaurant. If they're full, you can park along the main road across the street, so it's fine to visit by car.

Even from outside, you could feel that low-key, cozy atmosphere typical of a Japanese home-style restaurant. Rather than flashy, it felt like a comfortable neighborhood spot for a good meal, which made me like it even more.

Walking inside, the cute Japanese home-style vibe hit me right away. Warm lighting and little decorations throughout made it feel snug, and even the wait for food felt like a pleasant experience in this space.

On one side there was even a small book corner with books the owner's kids read, complete with this month's new releases listed — a nice little touch that added to the cute, homey atmosphere.

You order at the kiosk right next to the entrance, and if you need help, the owner or staff are happy to assist.

Each table had its own neat little menu and set of tableware, plus a red-capped water bottle that added to that distinctive cute, homey feel of a Japanese home-style restaurant.

Roi Sikdang's menu and why the restaurant is serious about its rice

One thing that quietly stuck with me at Roi Sikdang was the rice. They're serious about rice quality and clearly use good rice, because it was genuinely delicious on its own.

The rice I ate that day was Gimje Sindongjin rice, milled just a week before.

Roi Sikdang has quite a varied menu. Its signature items include salmon jang and eggplant tempura rice bowl among other rice bowls, and this visit's new item was the Kanto-style sukiyaki I tried. There's also mentaiko cream pasta, perilla oil Roi soba, and other Japanese dishes — enough to make me want to come back again.

What comes in the Kanto-style sukiyaki, and how it tastes

The whole point of this visit was to try the newly launched Kanto-style sukiyaki. It's the style where you simmer beef and various ingredients together in a pot at the table — exactly the classic sukiyaki you'd picture.

The sukiyaki was loaded with beef along with oyster mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, napa cabbage, crown daisy, and glass noodles.

The taste was that sweet-savory sukiyaki flavor everyone likes, no strong opinions needed, and the portion was just right for two people.

Eating the sukiyaki with mustard soy sauce and a raw egg

The sukiyaki came with mustard soy sauce and egg to dip into. At first I dipped the meat and vegetables straight into the egg, and once the sweet-savory sukiyaki flavor met the egg, it turned even smoother and richer.

Stirring the leftover egg into the pot for a donburi-style finish

Of course, delicious side dishes and food need rice to go with them. They gave us two bowls of rice to start, and kept refilling more whenever we needed it, so between that and the sukiyaki we ate a really filling meal.

While dipping meat into the egg sauce, I naturally ended up pouring the egg into the pot itself — and that gave it a totally different feel. Eating it with rice made it almost like a sukiyaki donburi (rice bowl), and I honestly loved this method too. Dipping is great, but I'd also recommend stirring the egg into the pot and eating it with rice.

I came this time for the Kanto-style sukiyaki, but Roi Sikdang has plenty of other already-famous menu items like salmon jang, plus soba and other Japanese home-style dishes, so I'm already looking forward to my next visit. This is a place with too many dishes to be curious about to stop at just one.

Is Roi Sikdang's sukiyaki worth it? Final thoughts

If you want to enjoy Japanese home-style cooking in a cute, comfortable atmosphere, I recommend Roi Sikdang, a Hanam Misa favorite. The Kanto-style sukiyaki I tried this time had that familiar, dependable, delicious flavor that's easy to enjoy without any fuss, and with plenty of good rice on the side it made for a filling meal. If you're looking for Japanese home-style food or something a bit different in Misa, give it a try.
