Holiday memory — Sundubu Jjigae that transported me back

I first ate Sundubu Jjigae on a trip five years ago and have been searching for a version this good ever since. This restaurant finally delivered the fiery and fermented quality I remembered. sesame oil was handled correctly — something most restaurants here get slightly wrong.

the communal banchan side dishes are as important as the main. It was the a late-night soju bar memory that I was really chasing and this recreated it. banana milk was offered and brought the whole experience together. Some dishes are attached to a time and place. This one finally restored that attachment.
