| - My foodie friend was telling me how amazing SsangKye's braised chicken WITH CHEESE was the other day; I have decided to check it out with a bunch of us last night :) Located in the same plaza as Kobi Korean BBQ, MARU HanPan, and Red Bean Waffle House, SsangKye specializes in delicious Korean style jjimdak (braised chicken) dishes!
We ordered a L size pan of jjimdak in white Cheese with red sauce to share. It was SO GOOD. If you are looking for a legit cheese pull, this dish is perfect for you ;) The red sauce is a Gochu-Jang based special sauce (quite mild), and to my surprise, I can actually take the heat! (I think all that cheese really helped too!) I don't eat spicy but I will definitely eat this spicy braised chicken again! The pan also includes veggies, flat glass noodles (yum!), dumplings, rice cakes, and cheese stuffed rice cakes.
The server was very friendly and courteous. The owner also took great care of us and introduced an upcoming new dish that not only has delicious braised chicken but also includes seafood items like shrimp, mussels and crabs. This seafood jjimdak is served in a M size pan (one size) and cooked in only a black sauce. Definitely something to look forward to :)
They also have the Jinro Chamisul Green Grape Soju ($16); try it if you haven't already! One bottle serves up 7 shot glasses. It is sweet and easy to drink, but keep in mind it is 13% alcohol. It is great for sharing with your friends - but tbh - I can down a whole bottle myself lol.
I would definitely come back again to SsangKye for more cheesey jjimdak goodness! It is a great place to catch up with friends over drinks and delicious Korean food.
