This Bonjuk branch near Nokdu’s student village serves Korean rice porridge, including vegan-friendly black sesame, pumpkin, red bean, pine nut, mung bean, and plain varieties. Portions are large and takeout is practical; the side dishes vary, and three contain fish sauce, squid, or beef, so ask staff to leave those off.
