ONGGI JUNG-CHAN BOX – ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ • 9 mini dishes: Kimchi, japchae, fish cake, braised tofu + more • Changes daily – Always includes soup (seaweed soup was chef’s kiss) • Pro tip: Go before 1pm – often sells out! 2. Stir-Fried Spicy Squid & Pork Belly – ⭐⭐⭐⭐ • Sweet-spicy gochujang glaze – Packed with wok hei • Better the next day – Add honey when reheating (trust us!) • Feeds 2 easily 3. Kimchi Stew – ⭐⭐⭐✨ • Classic Korean comfort food – Good, but not unique • Best with: Extra tofu & an egg cracked in 4. Intestine Soup – ⭐⭐ • For adventurous eaters only – Strong gamey flavor • Skip if you’re sensitive to organ meat tastes 💡 Insider Tips 1. Lunchbox hack: Ask for extra rice to stretch it further 2. Dinner move: Pair the lunchbox with soju (they have peach flavor!) 3. Dessert: Grab hot taiyaki from the plaza’s food trucks after 🏡 Vibe & Service ✔ Casual & lively – Feels like a Seoul alleyway eatery ✔ Quick service – Food arrives in <10 mins ✔ Hidden gem: Less touristy than nearby BBQ spots #KoreanFood #LunchboxLove #VancouverEats
