Dive Deep Into Jinsol Gukbap's Dank Pork Belly Soup in Koreatown.
“Though the menu is limited, Jinsol Gukbap represents Busan food at its most down-home and authentic, the kind of food that's good whether you're grabbing a blue collar lunch or staving off an early hangover with some hearty laughs and stories of your own.”

“But the real star of Jinsol Gukbap — more than the slippery cold noodles, more than grilled pork ribs — are the strips of braised pork belly that arrive in your bowl or on the side on a large platter if you opt to order the slightly pricier “set menu.” The slices, which practically melt under a pair of chopsticks, are shaved razor-thin and fanned out like a set of playing cards. You will eat more than a few.”
Chef Kim Bok Kyung at Jinsol Gukbap: Jjimdak
""I follow a very simple rule of thumb in the kitchen: I only make food that I would enjoy myself."
People are here for one thing: Gukbap
“People are here for one thing: Gukbap - a clear pork-broth soup that comes mostly unseasoned, but with a big spread of sides like kimchi, salted shrimp, and thinly-sliced pork belly that you can add to kick it up. At lunchtime, older couples and people who work nearby fill the tables in this little strip mall spot, and if you’re looking for a quick lunch, this is the spot.”
