About the Cuisine

Korean

Korean cuisine (hansik) is built around balance — fermented sides (banchan), a steaming bowl of rice, and a main dish that changes with the season. Meals are served all at once rather than in courses, and sharing dishes at the table is the norm. The depth of flavor comes from slow-fermented pastes like doenjang (soybean) and gochujang (chili), which form the backbone of soups, stews, and marinades across the country.

Bongi Bone Haejangguk's food came out quickly, and the overall flow was great, so I didn't have to wait long. The taste was consistent, and the portions were just right, making it a great light meal. The restaurant was well-managed, and the atmosphere was relaxed, so I had a comfortable stay. I wouldn't be disappointed if I returned. It's also a great hangover cure.

The portions are generous, and the soup is rich and delicious! There's usually a wait, so order takeout ahead of time and pick it up for dinner.

I visited Bongi Bone Haejangguk near Cheonhoye in Gangdeung-gu. Even though I visited a little late in the evening, there were plenty of customers, and the restaurant is small, so there's a wait during peak hours. The side dishes were simple: radish kimchi, radish kimchi, chili peppers, and onions. I ordered the signature bone haejangguk regular, and I switched to soy sauce and egg rice. The large bones were so generous they almost poked through the pot, and there was a lot of meat attached. The meat had no gamey smell, and it was incredibly tender and moist. Because there was so much meat, I removed about two bones and mixed them into the soy sauce and egg rice. This was a delicacy. The regular portion was quite generous, but the special was difficult for anyone but a big eater to finish. The broth was rich and clean, and it paired well with the egg rice.
