Sundae Silrok Daehakro Bonjeom 순대실록 대학로본점

Near Daehangno. Sundae Silrok Daehakro Bonjeom is a sundae (Korean blood sausage) restaurant in Hyehwa-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul, that reinterprets traditional sundae through a modern lens. The restaurant holds nine Blue Ribbon awards and has been featured on the television program Hangugineui Bapsang. The dining environment immediately distinguishes itself from conventional sundae-guk restaurants, the space is spotless, well-lit, and entirely free of the odors typically associated with the genre. The signature sundae steak takes boiled sundae and grills it on an iron plate, producing a crisp exterior that gives way to an interior packed with black glutinous rice, bean sprouts, carrot, and other fillings, creating a chewing experience unlike standard sundae. Despite a visual resemblance to German handmade sausage, the flavor is rooted in Korean savory notes, and the dish maintains an absence of greasiness that encourages continuous eating. The sundae-gopchang-bokkeum layers perilla leaf fragrance over chewy wheat tteok and non-tough intestines in a moderately spicy stir-fry; ordering it automatically includes a bowl of sundae-guk, delivering dual value from a single order. Makguksu, sweet-tangy buckwheat noodles, works as a palate cleanser, and the slushy-style kettle makgeolli provides a clean, nutty finish. The dining floor is spacious, with dedicated partitioned seating for solo diners and outdoor tables available. Complimentary sundae offered at entry draws positive remarks in its own right, and the restaurant operates into late hours. Holidays see full occupancy, and queuing during meal times is standard, making advance scheduling advisable.
