MOOiJUNG is a small yoshoku restaurant on Sokcho's Saemaeul-gil, serving Japan-style Western plates rather than sushi or izakaya food. Yoshoku is the Japanese tradition of adapting Western dishes through Japanese technique and everyday dining culture. Here that means a balanced plate: hamburg steak or pork steak with Napolitan pasta, mashed potato, salad, fried egg, butter rice, and soup. The chef's new White Ragu Pasta carries the same idea in a quieter, more labor-heavy form.
Pro tip
Avoid Wednesdays and Sunday dinner; on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, plan around the 14:00-17:00 break and 19:30 last order. Start with the Hamburg Steak if you want the clearest MOOiJUNG plate, or choose White Ragu Pasta if you are curious about the chef's omakase background. Butter rice and soup are refillable, so ask the staff when you need more.
