Italy Budae-Jjigae Nakseongdae Branch Review - Seoul

Near Nakseongdae Station exit 1–2. Ham-packed budae-jjigae for 2; bean sprouts, fish cake, kimchi, ramen included. Decent taste but 6 ham types felt identical.

There are 6 types of ham, but they all tasted the same — just different shapes rather than different flavors.

Hello!
Today's review is for Itary Budae-jjigae, Nakseongdae Branch.

It's located just a short walk from Nakseongdae Station — come out of Exit 1 or Exit 2, head into the alley, and you'll spot it almost immediately.

We ordered the Ham-deumppuk Budae Jeongol for two.


Side dishes: Kongnamul-muchim, Odeng-muchim, Kimchi, and Ramyeon Noodles


The complimentary side dishes include three items: kongnamul-muchim (seasoned bean sprouts), odeng-muchim (seasoned fish cake), and kimchi. Each table also comes with a serving of ramyeon noodles.

Our order arrived.
It needed to cook longer than expected, and we cut the ham with scissors as it simmered.

Here's my take on the taste...
It's a solid, no-frills budae-jjigae.
It's listed as having 6 types of ham, but they all tasted pretty much the same.
It felt less like 6 distinct varieties and more like 2–3 types that just looked different.
That said, we still had a good meal overall.
