[Seodaemun Restaurant] Seodaemun Famous for Braised Kimchi

Hello :)

JW Jeongwon Plastic Surgery,

offers results that speak for themselves.

There are days when I crave Korean soul food, kimchi dishes,

like crazy,

and last night was exactly like that.

I can’t live without kimchi!

So I went looking for this place! A famous Seodaemun restaurant

'Hanokjip' — here is my honest review, starting now.

Hanokjip. Just like its name,

it really is a hanok.

It looks delicious from the outside already.

I went by car because I was told parking was available,

but you can’t park right in front,

and I was told I had to park at a nearby university.

I walked about 150 meters to get here.

An interior that feels weathered by time

As is typical of older restaurants,

floor tables make up most of the seating.

Aprons hanging everywhere

If you were expecting a pleasant, spotless place,

you might be a little disappointed!

The signature menu items are braised kimchi and kimchi stew!

Since their kimchi is famous, they also sell it separately.

Side dishes. With braised kimchi, rice and seaweed are enough.

Wow, such an appetizing look.

It really gave off that well-aged kimchi feeling!

It was the kind of taste that everyone in Korea would recognize.

The taste of braised kimchi, slowly cooked with well-ripened aged kimchi and meat!

I also ordered rolled omelet,

the soft and savory companion to braised kimchi.

Usually, it seems people order one serving of braised kimchi and one serving of stew

and eat them together.

Personally, compared to its fame,

I didn’t find the taste especially remarkable.

It’s the kind of flavor you can enjoy anywhere, as long as the kimchi is good, right?

Still, as a Korean who can’t live without kimchi,

I enjoyed the meal.

That’s my honest review of Hanokjip in Seodaemun.
