“ Though it is a chain store, Bukchang-dong soondubu is delicious comfort food, and value for money. Try to go during off-peak hours or weekend to avoid working crowd. ”
“ The food is good and the price Is affordable -and the portion is quite huge. This was our 2nd visit to this restaurant. ”
“ I wonder if soondubu generally tastes like this? It was slightly salty to me, but overall pretty decent. ”
“ Our hotel recommended we come here for lunch. A nice man greeted us and gave us a menu with english translations. We ordered the red pepper paste bulgogi for one person and the bukchangdong soondubu (tofu stew with a variety of other ingredients - prawn and beef). This stew came with some kimchi, pickled vegetables, some fish. We also received pots of rice. There are eggs on the side and the man directed us to crack one into the stew. I'm pretty sure that you have your own bowl and fill it as you please - with rice and/or stew and all of the other delicious items. We ended up eating out of all the pots like silly people but that's ok, we didn't seem to offend anyone... haha. We were also given hot water which I think it for putting in the rice if it sticks too much to the pot. The experience was a lot of fun and the food was fantastic. The tofu stew had an incredible flavor and was silky smooth. The red pepper bulgogi was a bit spicy and absolutely delicious. A wonderful first meal in Seoul! ”
“ Nov 2023. We came here for lunch. I loved this bright and clean restaurant. Every table had an ordering machine and we could make cashless payment straight away. We ordered a bundled set for 3. Each of us had a different soup base - signature (seafood), beef and ramyeon. The rice was kept hot in a cauldron and they served brown rice! It was really thoughtful restaurant which had won hearts of locals and tourists. ”
