Handa Sot Gyeongju is a hanok-style solbap (pot rice) and Korean set-menu restaurant at 111 Cheomseongno in Gyeongju. Arriving at an off-peak hour meant the second floor was empty, so the hanok view came with an eel rice bowl and short rib pot rice, side dishes, seaweed soup and a nurungji (scorched rice) porridge finish. Handa Sot Gyeongju suits a meal with parents or an early breakfast-to-lunch stop near Cheomseongdae.
Dongyang Baekban is a countryside-style Korean restaurant on Hwangridan-gil in Gyeongju. Walking in the moment weekday break time ended, the writer ordered sumi dakbokkeumtang (spicy braised chicken) at 28,000 won, gondeure rice (mountain-herb rice) at 6,000 won and mini yukjeon (beef pancake); the chicken comes with glass noodles as standard in a sweet sauce mild enough for children. Weekend waits at Dongyang Baekban run long, so the 17:00 weekday reopening is the easiest way in.
