Kim Buksun Keunnambi-jip Sinsa Bonjeom 김북순큰남비집 신사본점

Pot lids signed by celebrities line one wall, and kimchi jjigae comes in single-serving aluminum pots, each diner picking pork, tuna or Spam. Lunch lines get long, while late weekday evenings are calmer, with solo diners. The pork version leans on well-fermented kimchi with a clear sourness, a spicy red broth and big chunks of meat. Choran ttukbaegi-tang is an egg dish mixed with flying fish roe, small shrimp and squid, so it has more bite than smooth steamed egg, and rice for it is ordered separately and mixed in. Side dishes include dried radish strips and seasoned fish cake, and the stew reaches the table already cooked. A thick rolled omelet is a common side order.
