In short
Sosa Myeonok (소사면옥) is a Korean restaurant known for bossam (boiled pork wraps), on Neungdong-ro in Gwangjin, Seoul, between Children's Grand Park and Gunja Station. The writer first visited Sosa Myeonok soon after it opened and came back much later with a sibling visiting from overseas. They ordered only a small bossam and ate it with bossam kimchi, doenjang (soybean paste) and radish from the self-serve bar. The verdict: Sosa Myeonok's bossam is a must-try on a day you crave bossam or for a family meal with your parents.
