π°π·π₯ Introduction
If youβre exploring Songridangil, one of Seoulβs most popular food and date spots near Lotte World Tower,
you canβt miss this cozy Korean restaurant serving spicy tteokbokki (λ‘λ³Άμ΄) with rich flavors.
The street is filled with trendy cafΓ©s, small shops, and delicious restaurants β and this spot feels like discovering a hidden gem.
I visited Ipboonsik Gajeongjip (μ
λΆμκ°μ μ§), famous for its Hanwoo Daechang Tteokbokki and Mayak Jumeokbap.
The restaurant feels like stepping into a friendβs home and perfectly captures the warmth of a real Korean meal. π
π Exterior of the Restaurant
From the outside, this Tteokbokki Restaurant in Songridangil looks more like a family home than a commercial eatery.
The wooden signboard and cozy exterior make it feel like a hidden gem tucked away from the cityβs noise β the kind of spot locals secretly love. πΏ
πͺ Inside β Feels Just Like Home
Once you step inside this Tteokbokki Restaurant in Songridangil, youβll instantly feel a sense of warmth.
The retro mirrors, wood furniture, and intimate seating create that homey atmosphere Koreans describe as βgajeongjipβ (meaning a family-style restaurant). π―οΈ
π₯ Hanwoo Daechang Tteokbokki
The highlight of the menu β Hanwoo Daechang Tteokbokki ππ°π·
Koreans love grilled intestines like gopchang (small intestine) and daechang (large intestine).
Daechang has a rich, fatty flavor that can be a little heavy, but when itβs paired with spicy tteokbokki sauce, it becomes pure perfection.
The chewy rice cakes, savory tripe, and spicy sauce blend into the ultimate comfort food combo. π₯
π Mayak Jumeokbap (Wasabi Rice Balls)
βMayakβ means βaddictiveβ in Korean slang β and itβs the perfect word for this dish! π
These rice balls come with wasabi, giving them a sharp, spicy kick.
Dip them in the tteokbokki sauce and the mix of spicy, salty, and tangy flavors is irresistible.
β οΈ However, the wasabi can be intense! If youβre not used to spicy food, try the Tuna Mayo Rice Balls instead β a softer but equally tasty choice.
π³ The Fried Rice Finale
To complete your meal at this Tteokbokki Restaurant in Songridangil, donβt forget the fried rice (bokkeumbap).
After the tteokbokki sauce thickens, the staff mixes rice right in the pan β crispy, spicy, and so addictive youβll scrape every last bite. π³
