Oversized salmon nigiri, the daewang yeoneo chobap, carries thick slices of fresh salmon on a larger mound of rice than usual. The salmon gimbap is rolled thick, like futomaki. Sandeomi katsu-don stacks thick pork cutlet over rice and goes well with a highball, while kkokko-don covers karaage in mayonnaise and chili sauce. The salmon noodle soup rests on a soy broth with real savor and little salt, though the salmon portion is modest. The small, izakaya-style room keeps its tables spotless and sends food out fast. Seats are close, yet the room stays quiet enough to talk, and remote queuing through CatchTable lets you wait nearby instead of outside.
