Go forThe jokbal comes already coated in a spicy sauce. It is so tender it falls apart when you pick it up with tongs, and the skin is soft and full of collagen. A little salted shrimp on top makes it even better. The gamjatang arrives under a mountain of bean sprouts and chives, with a clean but deep broth and big bones that the meat slides right off. It feels like eating at a grandmother's house in the countryside.
Skip ifYou do not like spicy food. Both dishes are seasoned and fairly hot. Also not for solo diners: portions are for 2 or more, and tables are few.
