First things first, we had silkworm soup which the silkworm were chewy and bursted in your mouth along with the flavorful spices in the soup. Wash it down with some soju. I also loved the seafood pancakes, maybe I just am biased and like seafood pancakes in general for their crispy texture and this one had a fair amount of seafood. The market chicken was whole fried, came with salt and pepper, but I would’ve loved to see maybe some sort of soy garlic whole fried chicken, it’s one of my favorite flavors. If I’m at a Korean restaurant, I’m trying their bulgogi as a baseline for the experience and this bulgogi was top tier. Sweet and tender and should absolutely be in the conversation for top 3 bulgogi I’ve had. A unique dish that I haven’t tried yet anywhere else is the Sea Snail and Squid Muchim. I liked the chewy noodles and the sweet and spicy sauce binding the shellfish together. A dish they insisted we try is this Goporitang soup with flat noodles. It’s a soup with a whole chicken, intestines, veggies, scallions and potatoes bathing in a very aromatic spicy broth. When I smelled the soup even my nose tingled, but the soup is hearty and I can see the appeal of this being their most popular dish. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this place, great Korean spot in the north suburbs, and it’s open very late for that true pocha experience.
