Jeongnok Ssambap

This ssambap (leaf-wrap rice) restaurant in Hwangnam-dong stands with Cheonmachong Tomb's wall behind it. Spicy pork ssambap and beef bulgogi ssambap are the basics, with duck bulgogi ssambap and Jeju pork-rib ssambap also on the menu. The table comes loaded with leafy wrap vegetables and banchan, plus doenjang jjigae or soft tofu stew, making it feel close to a full set meal.

The old exterior and vintage interior remain intact, and it became known after being featured on TV. There is a break time from 4 to 5 p.m., and weekend lunches tend to come with a wait, so it's better to go outside peak hours. Group seating is available, so it also works for meals with several people.

Useful tips
