About
Crisp, juicy pork tangsuyuk and seafood jjamppong in a traditional Chinese-style dining room in Samsong.
The tangsuyuk arrives in thick slices, some hefty enough to seem stacked two or three high. Its crisp batter gives way to tender, juicy pork, which is why it is the safest first order at Mokrihyang. The catalog lists 생등심탕수육 (fresh pork loin sweet-and-sour pork) in a small portion for ₩20,000; there is also a small portion of 사천탕수육 for the same price if you want a spicier version. For a fuller meal, 짬뽕 brings a moderately spicy broth with plenty of seafood and a generous serving, according to visitors. 라조기 is another fried option, praised for its crispness; the small portion is ₩22,000. Seasoning is generally described as balanced rather than assertive, though reports on the food are mixed, so this is better approached as a straightforward Chinese-Korean meal than a destination for one elaborate dish. The street-facing restaurant has a traditional Chinese-style dining room and draws families, friends, and groups, as well as solo diners. Lunch can get busy, with visitors reporting a near-full room while waiting to order; reserve ahead if you are bringing a group. Parking is available underground in the building, Samsong S Plaza, but one visitor found the lot awkward to use. Mokrihyang opens at 11:00 and closes at 21:00; it is closed Monday, and Tuesday through Friday it takes a break from 15:00 to 16:30. Come for a casual shared meal, especially if your table wants a crisp fried platter alongside noodles or rice. The room can suit a family lunch or a small gathering without making the occasion feel formal. Keep expectations measured: some visitors find the food merely average, and reports also mention slow, disorganized service on a busy night. Give the kitchen time if you order takeout or visit when the dining room is full.
