This is a shop located a 3-minute walk from Nishi-Ogikubo Station ✨ I had the Korean cold noodles set lunch for 1100 yen including tax. There were many options on the lunch menu and I had a hard time deciding, but I chose the limited-time cold noodles. I was happy that it came with Kimbap and Namul ☺️ The ice-cold vinegar-flavored soup was refreshing and delicious, and even though there was a lot of noodles, I finished them quickly because they were smooth and slippery! The noodles were firm but thin, so even with my weak jaw, I could easily chew them, which was a delight. The dish was quite refreshing, and the sensation of oil oozing out when I bit into the pork added a nice touch. The Kimbap had a subtle flavor of shiso and sesame oil, and the texture of the ingredients was good and very tasty ☺️

- Kimchi & Namul Assortment: Spicy Kakuteki ❤️ The kimchi had a crunchy texture with a strong spicy flavor, authentic to the original. The namul included bean sprouts, radish, and fern shoots, with a vinegary taste similar to pickled radish, but here it had a sesame oil aroma, especially in the radish namul. - Garlic Chive Pancake: The aroma is amazing! It looks incredibly delicious ❤️ Crispy and thick, filled with plenty of garlic chives. The contrast between the crispy surface and chewy inside is outstanding. You know that disappointing feeling when you eat a thin and soggy pancake? Well, this pancake is definitely the right choice! - Yangnyeom Tejigogi (Spicy Pork Stir-Fry): Juicy and thick slices of meat, similar to Korean-style braised pork. The thick meat provides a satisfying chew. The seasoning is hard to replicate at home, and it's perfect for enjoying with some Makgeolli. - Vegetable Kimbap: The portion for three people is impressive! The volume alone boosts my excitement, as I have a "foodie" mindset. The sesame oil flavor with crunchy vegetables is delightful, and the shiso leaf adds a lovely touch. - Cheese Dakgalbi (separate from the course): Oh, that gooey cheese that you just want to dive into! Can you imagine being covered in cheese? I want to be engulfed in cheese and drown in it. The cheese is gooey with a hint of spiciness, loaded with potatoes and chicken. Best enjoyed while the cheese is still hot and gooey. - Ice Cream (Matcha, Chocolate, Vanilla): Reflecting on the course with a dessert of ice cream, and finishing with a drink to end the experience. Overall Review: Korean cuisine is perfect for snacking while drinking. It's different from lunch and still enjoyable.

The table seats are semi-private, allowing for a relaxed dining experience. The restaurant offers homemade Korean dishes prepared by the owner. I tried the course with all-you-can-drink for 3980 yen, which included the following items: - The Premium Malt's beer, which was served ice-cold. - Macaroni salad as the appetizer, a simple yet delicious dish that paired well with beer. - Assorted Kimchi and Namul, containing 6 varieties of Kimchi and Namul, all homemade by the owner. The Kimchi was mildly spicy and refreshing. - Chive Pancake, a pancake filled with plenty of chives and served with a special sauce. The texture was chewy and the flavor was excellent. - Highball cocktail and Yan-nyeon Tejigogi, a dish of sweet and savory sauce-marinated pork, with vegetables underneath. - Vegetable Kimbap, a special Kimbap with various vegetables, perfectly seasoned and paired well with rice. - Ice cream for dessert, with a choice of vanilla, chocolate, or matcha flavors. The 3980 yen course was very filling, with each dish having a good portion size. The drink options like Chamisul and Makgeolli were plain and required additional payment for tasting sets. The atmosphere was friendly and welcoming, with some customers enjoying solo drinks at the counter while chatting with the staff.

This restaurant is located a 5-6 minute walk from Nishi-Ogikubo Station and offers authentic Korean cuisine. With counter and table seats, as well as partitions for privacy, it is recommended for families and individuals alike. I tried the all-you-can-drink course which included a Kimchi & Namul assortment, Nira Chijimi, Sundubu jjigae (you can choose from 5 main dishes), vegetable kimbap, and dessert. The surprise was that the course without drinks was only 2000 yen! The service is quick and you can enjoy your meal at a relaxed pace. They also offer lunch, so I would like to visit for lunch next time.

This restaurant serves dishes with crunchy vegetables that are delicious and have a homemade warmth to them. The name "Sonma" in Korean means "mother's taste," and it truly lives up to that! The owner, a stylish and cool-looking motherly figure, serves food that is both visually appealing and comforting. In a time when many Korean restaurants focus on flashy performances, this place stands out for its warmth and homeliness. The Nira Chijimi, with its crispy edges and moist center packed with plenty of chives, was particularly memorable. The Kimchi & Namul assortment, made in-house, had a slightly strong acidity but was still delicious. The 5-course Sonma set for 2,000 yen was a great deal, with dishes like Kimchi & Namul, Nira Chijimi, Cheese Tteokbokki, and more. The staff were friendly and the atmosphere was cozy, making it a place worth revisiting.

Visited a Korean-style izakaya in Nishi-Ogikubo that I had been curious about. Ordered the Kimpa & Spicy Ramen lunch set, which was the only noodle option available. The ramen arrived first, followed by a wait for the Kimpa. When it finally arrived, I was surprised to see that the Spicy Ramen was actually instant noodles! The fact that they served instant noodles before the Kimpa made me wonder if they were underestimating their customers. There was no spoon provided for drinking the soup, so I had to drink it straight from the aluminum pot. The taste of the instant ramen lunch set for 880 yen was disappointing, with the kimchi also lacking in flavor. As for the Kimpa, it was my first time trying it and it reminded me of sushi rolls wrapped in Korean seaweed. I expected a sesame oil flavor, but it was not present. The lunch set also included a boiled egg and a few pieces of chopped chives. It was quite a surprise to see such a business model.

The authentic Korean restaurant was delicious with the chijimi and kimbap. They had a great drink menu with all-you-can-drink options as well.

The atmosphere was pleasant and the food was delicious. The interior design wasn't elaborate, but it had a good vibe. There were both 2-person and 4-person tables in private rooms, so it would be nice to have some sort of partition or curtain between the tables for more privacy.
