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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the must-order dishes at Choi?

Choi's signature dish is Gamjatang (pork backbone stew), renowned for its rich broth and tender meat. For the full experience, diners recommend adding Sujebi (hand-pulled dough dumplings) and finishing the remaining soup with bokkeumbap (fried rice). Korean seafood pancakes and kimchi pancakes are also popular accompaniments.

How large are the portion sizes?

Servings are very generous and primarily designed for sharing. Even medium stew pots easily satisfy two to three adults, and larger orders can cater to groups of four or five, often leaving enough for leftovers.

Can you make a reservation, or will there be a wait?

Table bookings are not accepted, and the restaurant can get quite busy during lunch and evening rushes. It is best to arrive early or be prepared to queue on arrival.
