Kimchi Jjigae

Deeply fermented kimchi stew with pork and soft tofu in a brick-red broth that builds slow heat without burning out

Doenjang Jjigae

Earthy soybean paste stew with zucchini and tofu — quieter than the kimchi version but deeply savoury

Soondubu Jjigae

Silken tofu stew with a spiced seafood or pork base — the soft curds absorb the broth and nearly dissolve on the tongue

Banchan spread

Rotating small sides — typically includes house kimchi, spinach namul, and one or two seasonal accompaniments that outperform the usual

Lunch combo set

A stew or rice dish paired with soup, rice, and banchan — the best-value entry point and what most regulars order mid-week
