Hoega suits rental-car travelers who want good-value Sokcho sashimi takeout without filler side dishes.

On day two of a Gyeongju trip with college friends of 12 years, the writer had a late brunch on the patio the morning after drinking: sweet-and-spicy braised ribs with wide glass noodles, egg rice, golden corn jeon (savory pancake) and cheese egg custard, mopping up the sweet-spicy broth with the egg rice and the free buckwheat jeon until every rib was gone. Hwangnam Dukkebi Restaurant is a good pick on Hwangridan-gil when you're craving a hearty, spicy Korean meal after a night of drinking.

The writer visited on a weekday after the lunch rush and ordered the mountain-piled galbitang (₩12,000, reportedly limited to 130 servings a day). The rib meat slid right off the bone, and there was so much meat that some was shared with the next table. The silbi kimchi (fiery spicy kimchi) at the self-serve bar was addictive enough that even a spice-shy eater went back for refills. For a filling solo bowl of soup in Dunsan-dong, Hanppong's mountain-piled galbitang is a good fit.

The Daeun Makguksu clam bossam set is a fun, filling date meal for a short drive from Gumi.

Because every dish lets you choose the spice level, Bonghyejane Jubang is a good Jonggak Korean restaurant to visit with friends who can't handle heat, though the mild level is a little bland, so the regular level is recommended.
