I ate so happily and enthusiastically, so let's get right into the review!

Back when I thought as long as I had a Ttareungyi bike I could go anywhere, rider me, that's who I am ^.^..)

What we ordered at Sangdo Neulbori and the free side dishes
- Cockle bibimbap ₩11,000
- Siraegi braised pollock, 2 fish, small ₩31,000
After ordering the small siraegi braised pollock and the cockle bibimbap, the basic side dishes came out!!!!!!!! Every single one of them my favorite side dishes ..★
Seaweed soup is always so delicious no matter when I have it. And the steaming hot egg custard too.. ★
Cockle bibimbap ₩11,000: crunchy with cheongyang chili
Cockle bibimbap ₩11,000. As soon as I saw it on the menu, being a cockle lover, I thought let's try the cockle bibimbap alongside the braised pollock, so I ordered it.
The rice and cockles came out separately, and the seasoned cockle mix was loaded with cheongyang chili peppers. (Spicy, with the cheongyang chili crunching between my teeth — it was genuinely so delicious, ㅠ) Mixed it all up with a generous drizzle of sesame oil~~~~
It was genuinely so good I kept exclaiming while eating. And there were so many cockles in it!!!!!!!!
Siraegi braised pollock, small (2 fish) ₩31,000: how big is the small size?
Siraegi braised pollock, 2 fish, small, ₩31,000. Just as I was finishing off the cockle bibimbap happily (? haha... I guess I ate a bit fast), the siraegi braised pollock arrived! As the signature dish of Sangdo Neulbori, the best braised pollock spot near Bongcheon Station, I had high expectations — and it exceeded them, both in taste and portion!!!!!!!!! In other reviews' photos the portion looked a bit small, but the bowl was actually huge..!!!!!!!!!!!! In photos it just gives off a smaller feeling than it really is..
Even though it's the small size, the moment it arrived I thought the portion was really generous!!!!!! The sauce was pooled thin at the bottom, and best of all, there was a generous heap of siraegi on top of the pollock — I loved that. !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Siraegi that doesn't run out no matter how much you eat!!!!!!!!
The pollock flesh was nice and thick, easy to pick apart with chopsticks, and the sweet-and-spicy sauce soaked in well — the perfect side dish for rice..!!!!!!!!!!!
Putting a piece of pollock flesh with some siraegi, dabbing a little sauce, and wrapping it in seaweed!!!!!!!!!! Absolute rice thief right there..!!!!!!!!!! (Please ignore my nails ........................ ㅠ)
I quickly took some photos in between bites, then started eating for real and finished it off super cleanly haha haha haha haha
Best combination for two at Sangdo Neulbori
For two people, I think ordering the small size of braised pollock and pairing it with one more dish works well. !!!! (Psst psst, the cockle bibimbap is a total recommendation, total recommendation, psst psst) For anyone looking for the best braised pollock restaurant near Bongcheon Station, I recommend Sangdo Neulbori's Bongcheon branch ♥♥♥♥♥
