2 Main Dishes + 1 Side Dish

After much deliberation, we decided on the 2-Person Set,

which includes two main dishes and one side.

📌Charcoal-Grilled Hamburg Steak Set

The Charcoal-Grilled Hamburg Steak Set is Sosohambak's signature dish,

and it's a must-try in Gyeongju's Hwanglidan-gil!

The set comes with two generous hamburg steaks, accompanied by various side dishes

📌Abalone & Shrimp Soy Sauce Marinade with Cold Buckwheat Noodles

Our second dish was the Abalone and Shrimp Soy Sauce Marinade,

originally served as a rice bowl.

We opted to swap the rice for refreshing cold buckwheat noodles,

which made for a perfect summer meal.

The savory shrimp and abalone soy sauce marinade

paired with cool naengmyeon? Irresistible!

📌Side Dish - Hanwoo Beef Tartare (Yukhoe)

This side dish felt like a full yukhoe course!

It came with various accompaniments like seaweed, pear slices, and fresh vegetables,

making each bite even more flavorful.
