It took a silly amount of time for us to discover this kind of korean dining. I like to called it DIY. I love kimchi jjigae but previous to this place I'd only ever had it as a singular order in a dolsot, which is still amazing, but I like to think of this as the next step up in kimchi jjigae consumption (whats next?!).
This place is amazingly popular, even during Chuseok when Seoul was dead, this place was full. They also have an incredibly daunting menu!
We ordered the small kimchi jjigae (김치찌개) for 13,000. Then we ordered ramyeon (라면사리) for 2,000 to go with it. So, out comes a huge pot with your jjigae inside. In fact, it was so full that we had to make sure it was in fact the small order and not the large. It was HUGE. Then you need to take those scissors and tongs and cut up all the big bits of meat and kimchi you find. Put in the ramyeon and let that cook a little while. Next, eat all the glorious jjigae goodness.
What's really awesome about this style of eating is the fact that you totally control the cooking, so if you get a little full, you can turn the heat right down and just snack on it as you go.
So, if you hold back on the beers (unlike us) then it would each come to 7,500. Which is just flipping ridiculously cheap.
Here's the address: 서울시 송파구 방이동 93-14.
WARNING: Not sure if it goes for all DIY jjigaes, but we've been here twice and the first time we got a less spicy and smaller (but still large) jjigae and the second time was huge and face burningly spicy. So, I think that it might vary massively depending on whose making it!
