About Choi

Sunnybank regulars know to bypass the usual multi-page menus and head straight to Choi for massive pots of traditional gamjatang. The draw here is unhurried communal comfort—huge heaps of tender pork backbone simmering in rich, savory broth until the meat falls away in clean sweeps. Groups crowd around bubbling hot pots, tucking into crispy seafood pancakes between ladles of soup. Once the broth reduces down, staff scrape rice into the pan for bokkeumbap, letting the grains crisp against the remaining savory pork glaze.

  • Signature Gamjatang: Oversized pots of slow-simmered pork backbone stew arrive tender enough to fall cleanly from the bone in a savory, warming broth.
  • Bokkeumbap Finish: Meals seamlessly transition from communal broth simmering to crisp pan-fried bokkeumbap cooked directly in the residual pork sauce.
  • Crispy Pancakes: Generously sized, crisp pancakes packed with seafood offer the classic savory counterpoint to rich bubbling stews.

  • Pancake Platters Built for Sharing

    Crispy, golden pancakes provide a satisfying crunch that complements rich, simmering pork bone stews.

  • Interactive Sujebi Dumpling Add-Ins

    Simmering hot pots invite diners to drop in handmade chewy dough dumplings like Sujebi while the soup reduces at the table.

    Be sure to add the home made gnocchi-style dumpling (Sujebi)

  • Table-Side Broth Fried Rice Finale

    The meal concludes by tossing rice, seaweed, and seasonings directly into the residual pan broth for a second course of bokkeumbap.

    A second course of bokkem-bap was a nice way to finish.

  • Sujebi (Dumpling)

    Be sure to add the home made gnocchi-style dumpling (Sujebi), and when the soup is almost done, ask for rice to make a fried rice with the remainder.

  • Kimchi Gamjatang

    The kimchi gamjatang was delicious. The pork was soft and perfectly cooked, the soup was tasty, and the kimchi was delicious.

Before you head over

Practical dining advice on wait times, group portions, and stew courses.

  • Arrive Early to Beat the Queue

    There is no booking system, and queues form quickly during busy lunch and dinner services. Plan to arrive early to secure a table or anticipate a short wait in line.

  • Plan for Large Communal Portions

    Portions of pork bone stew are oversized and meant for sharing among 2 to 5 diners. Don't over-order main dishes upfront, and prepare to pack leftovers if coming as a pair.

  • Save Broth for the Fried Rice Course

    Pace your meal and leave room towards the end of your stew to order rice, allowing the kitchen to prepare bokkeumbap directly in the remaining rich broth.
