I went for the Sundaeguk special, and let me tell you, it’s a game-changer. They’ve got the rice rolled into these compact little flavor bombs, allowing every grain to soak up that savory soup. And the soup, oh man, it’s thick and cool, hitting you with a refreshment you won’t see coming. This soup leans more towards intestines than head meat, giving it a subtle porky aroma. If you’re ultra-sensitive to that, you can opt for the sundae soup. The sundae itself delivers a burst of umami as you sink your teeth into it. It’s like a meat medley in there, and there’s simply no substitute for it. The meat portions are more than generous; this place doesn’t skimp on the good stuff. When you order sundaeguk, all you’re getting are green onions, spring onions, and some top-notch seasoning โ they keep it simple but stellar.
For all the sundaeguk enthusiasts out there, this spot is an absolute must-visit. It exudes a strong old-school vibe and is a local favorite, drawing both solo diners and families, young and old. The interior might be a tad narrow, and here’s the quirky part โ they whip up the magic in the kitchen upstairs and deliver it right to your table. Expect a bit of a wait due to its popularity, but don’t sweat it; the service is lightning-fast, and the soup’s flavors are so rich that it’s well worth it. The soup is so refreshingly cool and thick that it’s almost impossible to resist. If you’re a die-hard soup enthusiast, this place might just turn you into a regular. And guess what? It’s a haven for the folks who like to pair their meal with a drink.
