Cheonha Bossam

A must-visit restaurant for foreigners in Korea. Since this place is very popular among Koreans, the wait can be very long, so I recommend going at opening time on weekdays. Just order the Bossam Set Menu (₩16,000). The kimchi here might be too spicy for foreigners. You can eat the meat with kimchi or wrap it in lettuce with ssamjang and garlic. This place is known for its excellent bossam pork compared to other restaurants!

Worst Restaurant Experience 👎🏻 I’ve been coming here for years, but this visit was honestly disappointing. The price has gone up, yet the portion size has become ridiculously small. You even have to pay extra if you want more kimchi. The meat looked like leftover cuts — broken, uneven, and clearly not in good condition. It was also noticeably less compared to other two-person tables. The downgrade from before is obvious. It really feels like the place has shifted to targeting tourists at higher prices. With the way things are now, I have no reason to come back.

Been dreaming of coming here for a long time and finally was able to do it. Trekked in snow and slush to eat and it did not disappoint! Everything was delicious. All the sides and of course the pork melted in your mouth. Kimchi was incredible. Will be back even though I am only being in Seoul a few days!

Looks simple but packed full of flavours. My favourite meal these past 5 days I’ve been in Korea. Best kimchi I’ve had as well, which explains the need to pay for more kimchi (rare occurrence).

We came here for the bossam (slow cooked, boiled pork) set meal and it delivered! Kimchi was well balanced ie. not too spicy, sour or bitter and it was perfectly paired with the fatty pork. The banchan were all delicious too, especially the japchae and bean sprouts. And for 16k per person, it's a steal. All of the seating is floor seating at low tables so not recommended for those with back or joint issues.

The bossam jungsik is unbelievably amazing, the best of its kind, especially in the city central location like this. Would love to visit again and try their other plates.

Very delicious food. English menu available. Very friendly staff. All the vegetables were very fresh and the pork was very tender.

Taste very good, like the kimchi a lot, can rank the top few good taste restaurant that we tried in Seoul over the trip!
