We came for the pork rib stew and noticed after sitting down that it's a spicy item. Asked the staff if there's an option for less or non-spicy, and we were told it's not spicy. That turned out to be quite untrue - it definitely wasn't "not spicy".
The restaurant wasn't that busy when we arrived around 1pm on a Friday. But the place continued to fill during our stay and was pretty much full by the time we left 75 minutes later!
We ordered:
* Choi gamjatang (spicy pork rib stew) - original, $54.50 (medium)
* Rice add-on, $2 each
There's a slight discount for paying cash.
The medium serve of gamjatang+ rice was enough for the 3 of us to feel like we had no room for dessert. You can also get this in large (reviews suggest this is good for 4-5 people) for $10 extra, and there's a kimchi version which costs $5 above the original in both sizes.
Whilst I enjoyed the meal overall I did find the pork itself to be less tender than expected - it certainly wasn't fall off the bone like some reviews I've read 🙁 My chopstick-wielding muscles got a decent workout trying to extract the meat from the bones!
If I get another chance at this dish I would like to get the second course option of bokkem bab (fried rice) finished with a stir fry in some of the remaining soup from the stew. That sounds like a feast of flavours
