On a third visit after work, the writer and her husband ordered the Sonjeong Bossam 2-person set for 42,000 won and picked kalguksu (knife-cut noodle soup) instead of their usual makguksu.

This is actually already my third visit, so it's a true regular spot for me now! The first time I came here with friends for a gathering, everyone was so blown away by the moist meat with zero gamey smell and the deeply savory kimchi that we all clapped in amazement ㅠ0ㅠ Ever since then, this place is the first thing that comes to mind whenever I crave bossam (boiled pork belly wrap) — it's basically my go-to Sindorim restaurant. I really wanted my husband to taste this level of skill too, so we made it our weekday after-work date spot! ## Location, hours, and parking - 📢 16 Saemal-ro 16-gil, 1F, Guro-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 📆 Hours: Mon–Sat 11:00–23:00 / Sun 11:00–22:00 - Last order 22:00 - Break time 15:30–16:30 (no break time Sat/Sun) - 🚗 No parking ![Exterior of Sonjeong Bossam Sindorim Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/sonjeong-bossam-sindorim-weeknight-dinner/sonjeong-bossam-sindorim-weeknight-dinner-01-1l3ew-900.webp) This place is so popular by word of mouth among locals and office workers that on Friday evenings or weekend peak hours there's usually a long wait! My husband and I rushed over right after work on a weekday, so luckily we got seated without waiting at all. If you're planning a weekend or Friday visit, I'd recommend going a bit early to avoid peak hours! ## Interior mood and table-order system ![Table seating inside Sonjeong Bossam Sindorim Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/sonjeong-bossam-sindorim-weeknight-dinner/sonjeong-bossam-sindorim-weeknight-dinner-02-5cnk7-900.webp) Overall it's not noisy and it's easy to have a comfortable conversation, which made it great for a relaxed dinner with my husband after work! It's also perfectly suited for small gatherings with friends, like last time. ![Apron provided at the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/sonjeong-bossam-sindorim-weeknight-dinner/sonjeong-bossam-sindorim-weeknight-dinner-03-8080i-900.webp) They also provide aprons, so you can eat worry-free even if you're wearing white that day haha ㅎ0ㅎ And every table has a tablet-style table-order system installed. ![Tablet table-order system installed at each table](https://img.superchart.com/images/sonjeong-bossam-sindorim-weeknight-dinner/sonjeong-bossam-sindorim-weeknight-dinner-04-1021v-900.webp) During busy hours you don't need to flag down staff — you can carefully check the menu photos and set compositions on screen and order with just a few taps, right at your seat! ## What's in the Sonjeong Bossam 2-person set (₩42,000) Looking at Sonjeong Bossam's menu, they have a solid, value-packed set lineup! What we ordered was the Sonjeong Bossam 2-person set (₩42,000). ![Menu guide for the Sonjeong Bossam 2-person set](https://img.superchart.com/images/sonjeong-bossam-sindorim-weeknight-dinner/sonjeong-bossam-sindorim-weeknight-dinner-05-1g47n-900.webp) Composition: tender gabrisal bossam + bossam kimchi & radish kimchi + choice of noodles (we picked kalguksu instead of makguksu) ![2-person set table setting with kalguksu chosen](https://img.superchart.com/images/sonjeong-bossam-sindorim-weeknight-dinner/sonjeong-bossam-sindorim-weeknight-dinner-06-2rqrx-900.webp) ![Full view of the 2-person set table setting](https://img.superchart.com/images/sonjeong-bossam-sindorim-weeknight-dinner/sonjeong-bossam-sindorim-weeknight-dinner-07-3h6dn-900.webp) The basic table setting comes with salted shrimp, garlic, and baek-kimchi (white, non-spicy kimchi). ![Basic side dishes: salted shrimp, garlic, and baek-kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/sonjeong-bossam-sindorim-weeknight-dinner/sonjeong-bossam-sindorim-weeknight-dinner-08-1d7m2-900.webp) ![Plate of baek-kimchi and side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/sonjeong-bossam-sindorim-weeknight-dinner/sonjeong-bossam-sindorim-weeknight-dinner-09-re3np-900.webp) Doesn't the seafood look so fresh! ![Fresh seafood topping the kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/sonjeong-bossam-sindorim-weeknight-dinner/sonjeong-bossam-sindorim-weeknight-dinner-10-cvwmo-900.webp) I took a shot of it together with the bossam that came out next haha ![Table setting with seafood and bossam together](https://img.superchart.com/images/sonjeong-bossam-sindorim-weeknight-dinner/sonjeong-bossam-sindorim-weeknight-dinner-11-13j73-900.webp) ![Table with bossam and the kalguksu pot](https://img.superchart.com/images/sonjeong-bossam-sindorim-weeknight-dinner/sonjeong-bossam-sindorim-weeknight-dinner-12-jgxc0-900.webp) ## Kalguksu instead of makguksu — how was the choice? Actually, every time I've visited before, I always went with the tangy-sweet jaengban makguksu (cold buckwheat noodles on a tray) for my set. But this time I was craving soup, so I tried kalguksu (knife-cut noodle soup) for the first time — and it's honestly a kalguksu specialist restaurant too.... First off, the ingredients are so fresh ![Ingredients in the kalguksu pot before boiling](https://img.superchart.com/images/sonjeong-bossam-sindorim-weeknight-dinner/sonjeong-bossam-sindorim-weeknight-dinner-13-nm00r-1200.webp) ![Close-up of the kalguksu ingredients and broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/sonjeong-bossam-sindorim-weeknight-dinner/sonjeong-bossam-sindorim-weeknight-dinner-14-z3277-900.webp) I actually tasted the broth before adding the spicy seasoning, and it was already complete on its own ㅠ0ㅠ ![Kalguksu noodles and the hourglass timer](https://img.superchart.com/images/sonjeong-bossam-sindorim-weeknight-dinner/sonjeong-bossam-sindorim-weeknight-dinner-15-ycv72-900.webp) They told us that once the broth boils, you add the noodles, flip the hourglass timer, and then eat once it runs out haha ㅎ0ㅎ ## The star of the show: gabrisal bossam and radish kimchi And here's the main event, the bossam that arrived together..! ![Glossy, tender gabrisal bossam pork](https://img.superchart.com/images/sonjeong-bossam-sindorim-weeknight-dinner/sonjeong-bossam-sindorim-weeknight-dinner-16-hc706-900.webp) Can you see how glossy and tender the meat is ㅠ0ㅠ The radish kimchi is sweet and so delicious too.... ![Bossam kimchi filling and radish kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/sonjeong-bossam-sindorim-weeknight-dinner/sonjeong-bossam-sindorim-weeknight-dinner-17-4urnj-900.webp) The kimchi filling is so tasty too, and wrapped together with the cabbage leaf... it's absolutely the best ㅠ0ㅠ ![A piece of bossam wrapped in cabbage leaf](https://img.superchart.com/images/sonjeong-bossam-sindorim-weeknight-dinner/sonjeong-bossam-sindorim-weeknight-dinner-18-1w94n-900.webp) I tried the kalguksu once the hourglass timer ran out And honestly... it was the kind of taste that makes you think of soju. ㅠ0ㅠ ![The finished bowl of kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/sonjeong-bossam-sindorim-weeknight-dinner/sonjeong-bossam-sindorim-weeknight-dinner-19-1pabm-900.webp) Oh, and if you write a Naver review you can get fried mandu (dumplings) too, so I recommend it haha ㅎ0ㅎ ## One-line review > A place where the tender boiled pork and its perfectly matched bossam kimchi shine, alongside a kalguksu set that soothes you from the inside out. No matter when you visit, the consistent flavor and neat table setting fill 100% of your expectations!
