Dangsan bossam restaurant with tablet ordering and mak guksu: Cheongun

I went to Cheongun Bossam Dangsan Branch for dinner in Dangsan. This time I ordered the bossam set with mak guksu (buckwheat noodles) added. Being able to eat bossam (boiled pork wrap) and mak guksu together made it a good combo for a hearty meal with two or more people.

Inside Cheongun Bossam Dangsan Branch: mood and seating

Inside Cheongun Bossam Dangsan Branch, the tables weren't cramped together, and there were seats set up for larger groups too. Each table had an induction stove installed, and overall the vibe was a comfortable, classic Korean restaurant feel.

Ordering by tablet: bossam set plus mak guksu

Orders could be placed through the tablet installed at the table. Besides bossam, noodle dishes like jaengban mak guksu, perilla kalguksu, and spicy kalguksu also showed up, making it easy to pick a noodle dish alongside the bossam.

We added mak guksu to the bossam set. Even in the photos, the portion looked pretty substantial, making it a solid combo for anyone looking for a filling dinner menu near Dangsan Station.

What side dishes come with the meal

After ordering, kimchi, bean sprouts, and stir-fried fish cake came out first. They were good side dishes to snack on between bites of bossam.

The pickled onions in particular helped cut through the richness of the bossam, so they paired well. The basic side dishes weren't overly numerous, but they were mostly ones that matched well with bossam.

Cheongun Bossam's bossam set: how thick is the pork?

Shortly after, the bossam came out on a large plate. Boiled pork, napa cabbage, and bossam kimchi (kimchi made for wrapping with bossam) were all arranged on one plate, with ssamjang (dipping sauce) and cheongyang chili peppers placed in the center.

The meat was sliced to a good eating thickness, and many pieces had both lean meat and fat attached together. Rather than being sliced too thin, it was thick enough that you could really taste the meat in a single bite.

Trying just one piece first, the meat wasn't tough and the fat was soft. The lean part didn't feel dry or crumbly either. There wasn't any off-putting smell, so the meat was fine to eat on its own without any hesitation.

Placing a piece of bossam on the cabbage with ssamjang and cheongyang chili added a salty, spicy kick to the mild meat. Adding bossam kimchi on top made the flavor even richer.

The bossam kimchi had plenty of seasoning coating it, and it looked appetizing just from the color. Alternating between the kimchi and the plain meat cut down on the richness compared to eating just meat over and over. There was plenty of cabbage too, enough for wrapping without running short.

If you're looking for bossam near Dangsan Station and want to eat both meat and kimchi generously, this was a menu worth paying attention to.

How much mak guksu you get, and how it tastes

The mak guksu that came as part of the set also had a generous portion. On top of the dark-colored noodles were seaweed flakes and sesame seeds, along with vegetables like cabbage, carrot, and lettuce.

I mixed the sauce, noodles, and vegetables evenly and tried it. The noodles had a chewy texture, and with so many vegetables mixed in, there was crunch added throughout. As the sauce coated the noodles, it tasted spicy and tangy.

Eating mak guksu on its own, then adding a piece of bossam in between, was also a nice combo. After eating the warm, mild bossam, having some mak guksu refreshed my palate, which made me reach for the meat again.

Picking up bossam together with the mak guksu noodles also worked well. If you're thinking of adding a noodle dish rather than just ordering bossam alone, ordering mak guksu alongside would be a good call.

Kalguksu options at this Dangsan Station restaurant

This time I had mak guksu, but looking at the order screen, there were also noodle dishes like jaengban mak guksu, perilla kalguksu, and spicy kalguksu. It looked possible to have bossam as the main dish and add kalguksu (hand-cut noodle soup) on the side too.

With induction stoves installed at each table, it also seemed like a good setup for eating warm dishes. If you're looking for kalguksu near Dangsan Station, it'd be worth checking out the bossam and noodle menu together.
