Sunine Budaejjigae
순이네부대찌개
About
Cheese-topped budaejjigae with ham, sausage and kimchi, in a clean, wood-tone room near Dongguk University Ilsan Hospital.
The signature here is budaejjigae (부대찌개) with a cap of cheese over ham, sausage and kimchi. Its broth comes hot and spicy, with a clean, vegetable-stock base rather than a heavy, oily feel. The seasoning is 칼칼한: a clear, peppery heat, with enough salt to stand up to the meat. Even the one-person order is described as generous, so eating alone does not mean settling for a small bowl. A bowl costs ₩10,000. There are other options if not everyone wants the stew. 제육볶음 (spicy pork stir-fry) is ₩10,000, and 냉면 (naengmyeon) is listed at ₩9,000 when in season. The menu also ranges into dishes such as 꿔바러우, 마파두부 and 마라샹궈; the catalog lists these at ₩11,000, ₩9,000 and ₩11,000 respectively. Side dishes come with the meal, and the banchan corner is self-serve. Reports on them vary: some visitors enjoy them, while others find the seasoning light. This is a practical stop near Dongguk University Ilsan Hospital, used by hospital visitors and staff as well as families, colleagues and solo diners. The catalog lists opening hours every day from 07:30 to 21:00; some blog listings say 08:00, so check ahead if arriving right at opening. Order at the table kiosk, then help yourself to more banchan. There is seating for groups and takeout is available. A few cars can park in front, but the space is limited. The wood-tone room is clean, with window tables and enough space between tables to make a meal with a group comfortable. When there are few customers, it can be notably quiet: there is no music to fill the gaps. Choose it for a filling, clean-tasting stew at breakfast or lunch, or when you need a straightforward meal near the hospital. The quiet room and lightly seasoned sides may not suit diners after a lively meal or bold banchan.
