What to Order

Bbyeodagwi Gamjatang (뼈다귀 감자탕)-Back-bone Stew

A bubbling pork backbone stew simmered with potatoes in a rich bone broth. The soup has a savory depth with moderate heat (Spice Level 3), making it a solid choice for dinner on a cool evening.

Bbyeodagwi Jjim (뼈다귀찜)-Back-bone Braised Dish

This version uses pork backbone with chili seasoning and less broth, resulting in a thicker, more concentrated flavor (Spice Level 3). The texture shifts between tender meat and chewy cartilage, which works well for sharing.

Yeonnal Donkaseu(옛날돈가스)-Old-fashioned Pork Cutlet

A breaded and deep-fried pork cutlet served with rice and brown-style sauce. With mild seasoning (Spice Level 1), it is often ordered as a single-portion menu for those who prefer a non-spicy option.

A Simple Ordering Shortcut

If you want something classic and soupy for dinner, choose Bbyeodagwi Gamjatang.

If you are visiting with two or more people and prefer a richer, less soupy dish, go with Bbyeodagwi Jjim.

If someone in your group does not eat spicy food, add the Old-fashioned Pork Cutlet with rice.
