It was evident that they took great pride in perfecting this classic dish.

I ordered the Seafood-Kalguksu. When my bowl of kalguksu arrived, I was immediately struck by its vibrant colors and enticing aroma. 

The noodles were perfectly cooked, with just the right amount of chewiness, and the broth was rich and flavorful, infused with the essence of vegetables and spices. Each spoonful was a symphony of tastes and textures, warming both body and soul.

And bossam! It was so good! 

The pork belly itself is rich and tender, with layers of fat that melt in your mouth, providing a luxurious texture. 

The accompanying condiments and wraps add complexity to each bite. 

When combined, these elements create a harmonious balance of flavors and textures that tantalize the taste buds.
