I tried 36-hour-aged butadon, spicy butadon, and Soboro Goboong Galbi Bap. The spicy butadon with egg was my pick. ## Good to know - **Location**: 2F, 78 Ewhayeodae-gil, Seodaemun-gu, Seoul - **Ordered**: 36-hour-aged butadon, 36-hour-aged spicy butadon, Soboro Goboong Galbi Bap - **Seating**: Tables for 2–4 people and window bar seating - **Self-serve bar**: White kimchi, cabbage salad, and miso soup - **Rice refills**: Freshly cooked rice refills available - **Ordering**: Order using the tablet at the table *as written by the visitor on May 25, 2023* ## What are the seats and ordering system like for dining alone near Ewha Womans University? ![Seodaemun Korean restaurant with a self-serve bar: Sunhui Dining](https://img.superchart.com/images/sunhee-dining-ehwa-solo-spicy-butadon/sunhee-dining-ehwa-solo-spicy-butadon-01-qkmjd-966.webp) Sunhui Dining (순희다이닝), in front of Ewha Womans University, had tables suited to two or four people as well as window bar seating. The window bar seats looked popular because you could eat while watching people pass by, and I ordered using the tablet placed on the table. ![Seodaemun Korean restaurant with a self-serve bar: Sunhui Dining](https://img.superchart.com/images/sunhee-dining-ehwa-solo-spicy-butadon/sunhee-dining-ehwa-solo-spicy-butadon-02-1d2vm-966.webp) ![Seodaemun Korean restaurant with a self-serve bar: Sunhui Dining](https://img.superchart.com/images/sunhee-dining-ehwa-solo-spicy-butadon/sunhee-dining-ehwa-solo-spicy-butadon-03-4ak3z-966.webp) ## What can you get at the self-serve bar? ![Seodaemun Korean restaurant with a self-serve bar: Sunhui Dining](https://img.superchart.com/images/sunhee-dining-ehwa-solo-spicy-butadon/sunhee-dining-ehwa-solo-spicy-butadon-04-r4d9k-966.webp) You could help yourself to white kimchi, cabbage salad, black sesame and yuzu dressings, and miso soup. If you ran short of rice while eating your rice bowl, you could have more freshly cooked rice too. ![Seodaemun Korean restaurant with a self-serve bar: Sunhui Dining](https://img.superchart.com/images/sunhee-dining-ehwa-solo-spicy-butadon/sunhee-dining-ehwa-solo-spicy-butadon-05-fv0l8-966.webp) The cabbage salad was sweet and crisp, while the miso soup had a noticeable doenjang (fermented soybean paste) flavor that went nicely with the rice bowls. ![Seodaemun Korean restaurant with a self-serve bar: Sunhui Dining](https://img.superchart.com/images/sunhee-dining-ehwa-solo-spicy-butadon/sunhee-dining-ehwa-solo-spicy-butadon-06-1h3fh-966.webp) ## How did the three butadon and galbi rice dishes differ? ![Seodaemun Korean restaurant with a self-serve bar: Sunhui Dining](https://img.superchart.com/images/sunhee-dining-ehwa-solo-spicy-butadon/sunhee-dining-ehwa-solo-spicy-butadon-07-1333i-1200.webp) ![Seodaemun Korean restaurant with a self-serve bar: Sunhui Dining](https://img.superchart.com/images/sunhee-dining-ehwa-solo-spicy-butadon/sunhee-dining-ehwa-solo-spicy-butadon-08-1qwv3-966.webp) I had the 36-hour-aged butadon (Japanese pork rice bowl) with egg yolk, scallions, and sliced onion. The pork felt chewy yet tender, and I could barely detect any of the characteristic pork smell. ![Seodaemun Korean restaurant with a self-serve bar: Sunhui Dining](https://img.superchart.com/images/sunhee-dining-ehwa-solo-spicy-butadon/sunhee-dining-ehwa-solo-spicy-butadon-09-1dwn5-966.webp) Of the three dishes, the 36-hour-aged spicy butadon suited my taste best. Its chili-oil sauce went well with the egg, and it came with shishito peppers, garlic scapes, and garlic chips. Adding the wasabi served alongside it gave it a pleasantly sharp flavor that matched the butadon well. ![Seodaemun Korean restaurant with a self-serve bar: Sunhui Dining](https://img.superchart.com/images/sunhee-dining-ehwa-solo-spicy-butadon/sunhee-dining-ehwa-solo-spicy-butadon-10-112t6-966.webp) Soboro Goboong Galbi Bap was a fluffy rice bowl with sweet stir-fried kimchi. The galbi flavor was subtle rather than overpowering, and the wasabi worked well with this dish too. ![Seodaemun Korean restaurant with a self-serve bar: Sunhui Dining](https://img.superchart.com/images/sunhee-dining-ehwa-solo-spicy-butadon/sunhee-dining-ehwa-solo-spicy-butadon-11-og2yo-966.webp) ![Seodaemun Korean restaurant with a self-serve bar: Sunhui Dining](https://img.superchart.com/images/sunhee-dining-ehwa-solo-spicy-butadon/sunhee-dining-ehwa-solo-spicy-butadon-12-1ar5n-966.webp) ## Could there be a wait at mealtimes? ![Seodaemun Korean restaurant with a self-serve bar: Sunhui Dining](https://img.superchart.com/images/sunhee-dining-ehwa-solo-spicy-butadon/sunhee-dining-ehwa-solo-spicy-butadon-13-13o86-966.webp) There were lots of guests when I visited, and I was told there could be a wait during meal hours. The staff were kind and helpful. ## Where it is - Sunhui Dining (순희다이닝) (순희다이닝) - 2F, 78 Ewhayeodae-gil, Seodaemun-gu, Seoul, South Korea (서울특별시 서대문구 이화여대길 78 2층 순희다이닝) - 서울특별시 서대문구 이화여대길 78 2층 순희다이닝 - 37.5592711, 126.944065 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%88%9C%ED%9D%AC%EB%8B%A4%EC%9D%B4%EB%8B%9D/@37.5592711,126.944065,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@weekday-meal-seoul/sunhee-dining-ehwa-solo-spicy-butadon/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
