Our Visit
Today, I visited Wusm, a restaurant between Nonhyeon and Sinnonhyeon Stations in Gangnam. The traditional Korean house with tiled roofs adds a charming touch.
The interior, like the traditional exterior, blends the look of a Korean house with modern style, creating a clean and inviting atmosphere. The chairs at each table are designed for comfort, so you can relax and enjoy your meal.
In the kitchen, two big cauldrons are boiling. At Wusm, they use these pots daily to cook the meat and broth for the best flavor. The clear beef soup is something you don't find just anywhere.
Meat that's been simmered this long in a cauldron guarantees a rich taste and quality that's hard to match. You can feel the owner's passion for serving great food in the heat of the kitchen.
When I sat down, I noticed an 'order now' sticker on each table. Tapping my phone on the spot connected me to a site to place my order—super convenient!
A moment later, the basic side dishes arrived. The spread included tasty kkakdugi, baechu kimchi, and a dish of marinated beef rich in collagen, all perfectly complementing Wusm's menu.
There are also sauces at each table, so you can add them to your taste.
Korean beef bulgogi hot pot
Cook the meat in the hot pot until it's done, and simmer the mushrooms, vegetables, and glass noodles on the side.
After cooking the meat, dip it in the broth and enjoy the sweet and savory taste of bulgogi with the vegetables.
This menu was even more tender and juicy because it uses Hanwoo bulgogi. Tender texture of the meat is well-matched with sweet and salty seasoning.
Half and Half Pork Belly and Neck Meat M
If you visit Wusm, don't miss the half-and-half pork. It offers a variety of pork and beef cuts. The boiled pork from the cauldron was spot on, and you can choose between M and L sizes. They also include a clear beef soup, which was incredibly tasty!
Ox knee cartilage
Ox knee cartilage (도가니) is not only deliciously tender but also packed with nutrients, making it a great health-boosting dish. It's low in calories and easy to digest, so anyone can enjoy it without worry. For the best experience, try dipping it in seasoned soy sauce!
Brisket
Beef tongue
I'll taste each cut of meat served with the boiled pork. First, the brisket and beef tongue were tender and mild, making them easy to enjoy. For more variety in flavor, try pairing them with chives and enoki mushrooms!
Beef shank
The beef shank (아롱사태) is the best part of the shank and is quite rare, with only about 800g available per cow. It has a chewy texture and a nutty flavor, thanks to the muscle fibers running through the meat. At Wusm, the beef shank is prepared as boiled pork, delivering a tender texture without any off-flavors, allowing you to fully enjoy its rich, natural taste.
Beef cheek
Beef cheek (뽈살) comes from the cow's cheek and has a tender yet slightly chewy texture. I enjoyed being able to taste different cuts of meat on a single plate of boiled pork.
Beef nose meat
Finally, I'll try the meat from the cow's nose! Beef nose meat was quite unfamiliar to me, but after one bite, I found its nutty and chewy texture to be very appealing. It tasted even better when paired with the seasoned cow skin salad from the side dishes.
Crispy cheese potato pancake
Long-sliced potatoes fried into crispy pancakes, ensuring every bite is crunchy. The shape and texture are similar to familiar French fries, making them easy and enjoyable for anyone to eat.
Potato pancakes can be dipped in either ketchup or honey, depending on your preference. The sweet and tangy ketchup or sweet honey both pair perfectly with the potatoes, offering a delicious taste.
After a delicious meal, dessert is a must, right? At Wusm, they offer a variety of high-quality desserts, and I tried the Nurungji Haagen-Dazs. The sweet, cold vanilla Haagen-Dazs ice cream paired with savory, crispy rice crackers is an unbeatable flavor combination.
If you’re craving high-quality beef and delicious sides, Wusm in Sinsa-dong is the spot. From luxurious mains to traditional cauldron-cooked dishes, it’s a must-visit for a true taste of Korean cuisine.
