Names and natures do often agree - IlSan Milbat Kalguksu, Seokgalbi

Gyeonggi-do Goyang-si and Paju-si usually set a high value on table setting.

As the old saying goes, Names and natures do often agree. The food in this area is fancy and tastes sublime.

Seok-Rib is a representative food in Tanhyeon-dong, Ilsanseo-gu, Goyang-si.

Actually, this area is rather inconvenient for using public transportation, but it is not that inconvenient because you can get there in five minutes on foot.

When you get inside, for some reason, you will feel familiarity. 

Moreover, there is a place for toddlers and little kids to play. So if you have a baby, you don't have to worry about them and you can enjoy your meal.

Maybe you can’t find much information about this restaurant. The best menu in this restaurant is Seok-Rib. (Seok means rock. The food is served on a slab of stone.)  

And beautiful table setting really catches your eyes. 

We, three adults and one two-year-old baby, ordered two plates of Seok-Rib and one clam noodle.

In just few minutes, they prepared table setting with side dishes. 

There were napa cabbage kimchi, chives-Korean pancake, big dumplings, rice ball with dried laver, and vegetable rolls which look like Vietnamese rice wraps.

Especially, two rice balls with dried laver were really big, so they were enough for a kid as a meal.

Vegetable rolls were made of mushroom, carrot, egg, cucumber, and sprouts in sliced-white radish. 

Even though they were simple ingredients, it looked very nice because they all were wrapped in radish, covered with pink sauce.

Moreover, dishes were luxurious with bright-colored flower patterns.

Also, rectangular white plates made the salads and kimchi look better.

While I admired the chef’s cooking skill, the clerk set Seok-Rib on our table.

The rib was served on a slab of stone, which sounded sizzle. It looked very delicious and properly cooked. 

With lettuce, perilla leaf, garlic, and ssamjang(a processed soybean paste mixed with), it tasted aromatic and had delicate flavor.

The stone plate made the garlic much softer. 

Then, we were served spicy chopped noodles.

The food was abundant enough for two adults as a meal.

Because we also ordered clam noodle, the table was full.

The spicy chopped noodle was hot and clam noodle was tasty.

There were lots of people even though it was early dinner time on weekdays.

Most of them were mothers with toddlers. Thanks to the slides and toy cars in the playing space, the babies didn’t bother their mothers.

It is natural that good food and good facilities make a restaurant famous.

Actually, at first, this area was supposed to be a fashion street, but it is not energized yet. 

For this reason, there are not many people around here, which makes the nearby restaurants have a better cooking ability.
