Just order soondaeguk. You have the option of just making it all soondae, rather than them giving you a combination of different parts of the pork.
Their soondaeguk hits the spot.
My husband ordered gamjatang, which was a mistake. It tasted like kimchi soup rather than have the richness of the pork.
Stick to what they specialize they in: soondae -

I go here every other week. Been stopping here for almost 4 years.
The place is convenient because of the private parking lot and big space.
The food is always consistent. Not once have they disappointed me.
Big portion for its price. Simply a gourmet traditional Korean place. -

I am a huge fan of this restaurant. I like to come here with my dad because soondae-gook is one of his favorite dishes. Soondae is pork intestine stuffed with glass noodles, rice, seasonings, and pork blood. Gook is a Korean translation of casserole.
I love this dish. It tastes earthy, meaty, and refreshing all mixed into one. When I finish, it hits the spot of satisfaction. Sounds weird? Yup. Is it delicious? Depends on who you ask.
I like to add several side items to the dish. It includes two scoops of perilla seed powder, a scoop of spicy fermented shrimps, multiple scoops of green onion, and a scoop of pasty red pepper. Mix it in together and make sure to watch your tongue as it is served extremely hot.
I also like to eat this dish with kimchi and spicy radish. All Korean comfort food pairs well with these side dishes, and it's all you need. Bon appetit.
On top of my head, a few dishes which I believe make Korean food "weird." Thinking about the process of mixing blood and rice to make soondae sounds disgusting. Another is the texture of silkworm pupa. Another is eating a live flesh, such as an octopus, like a prehistoric human. Lastly, the smell of chung-gook jang (Korean version of natto bean soup) can stink up the house for days if not ventilated properly. If you are an adventure seeker, I highly advise that you experiment and try the list above. -

I go here sometimes and I always loved the food and service until today.
The soup is good but there's some weird pig smell in the assorted meat that comes with Soondae that I couldn't eat. And the server was not kind. She got an attitude when we asked for more kimchi and water. It wasn't even busy there and it's her job to provide that service but her tone of voice and her facial expression can tell that she got frustrated and annoyed. They should just do self service for kimchi and water.
It was an absolutely unpleasant experience because of her and I'll never go back there again.
