I’ll definitely be back to try more dishes!
Budae Jjigae is a comfort food for many, like me, that want a quick, filling, and easy meal. This soup has a long and complicated past. Originally, the soup was developed during the Korean War using smuggled/rationed hot dogs, Spam, bacon, and canned beans. I ask to add ramyun noodles to this kimchi soup base to absorb some of the broth and all of the delicious sweet, salty, and tangy flavors.
This is family style service, so you cook on an induction burner at your table and eat from a bubbling pot of hot and delicious soup.
There are many upsell toppings to choose from.
Super friendly service.
Authentic Korean style atmosphere, and wonderful private booth seating.
Highly recommend!
They used all frozen seafood,clams, octopus, crab.
It tasted so bad. The food is so tough that I can’t eat it. It’s so disappointing how you can serve such food for a high price from a customer. I never go back there again. I am not recommend this restaurant.
Bally Budaejjigae is tucked away in the corner of an overwhelming complex of restaurants and shops (with Assi Plaza, a Korean supermarket, as its retail anchor), but it’s well worth the short and confused search around the labyrinthine square. The folks who work there, particularly the woman who served us, greeted us warmly and didn’t blink an eye at our request for an English menu even though we clearly spoke Korean. There’s a convenient doorbell-like button at the side of the table that calls over a waitress without you needing to use your voice, and a gas grill waits patiently at your table for the yummies to come.
And boy, was it yummy. The kimchi-based broth is spicy, savory, and made me expel a happy “ahhhhh” before I even realize I said something. Orders are per serving size, and the ‘Medium 2-3 serving’ pot came with rice cakes, tons of sausage slices, spam, and bean spouts (it typically also has ground beef, but they amicably left it out for me when they heard I avoid meat). There are also add-ons, and the tofu and American cheese we chose added the most sumptuous touch. My spendthrift husband balked a little when he discovered we’d essentially be paying a whole dollar per slice of American cheese, but he clammed up once he tasted what that melted loveliness did to the taste of our broth.
The accompanying rice comes in a hot metal bowl, which is thoughtfully placed in a wooden base so that clumsy dummies like me don’t burn themselves on the servingware. The kettle they bring you is so that you can scoop out the rice and pour water in to cover the rice line. By the end of your meal, all the tasty burnt bits (like the coveted socarrat, or caramelized paella bits, at the bottom of a pan) can create a nice, warm rice porridge for you to end your meal with. I also suspect this makes cleaning far easier on the workers at the end of the meal. Win-win.
We had to drive nearly forty minutes out of our way to get here, but by the time we tumbled out of the restaurant with distinctly rounder bellies, we weren’t sorry we came.
Most importantly, order the fried rice, and they will use that good broth to make the amazing fried rice. I asked them to add more sesame oil and seaweed flakes, and it makes the fried rice even more savory and amazing.
The price is cheap, and the portion is A LOT. It comes with a steamed rice in a pot, which you can make into a porridge for dessert.
ALWAYS order and add ramyun-noodle, and be sure to ask the waitress to make you a fried rice after you finish the soup (but you always have to leave one cup of a soup for them to make the fried rice with that soup for 1-2 person serving of fried rice). With the order of noodle and fried rice, army stew only costs about $35 for two-three people. It costs over $30 for two bland bowls of pho these days, so this place is very affordable and will make you feel FULL.
You must check this place out. It’s truly a hidden gem 🙂
