Small, medium, or feast-sized – everything is made to share at the warm, homey Dodam. There are hand-made dumplings and tteokbokki-style rice paper rolls stuffed with mozzarella alongside crowd favourites like Korean fried chicken and kimchi fried rice. All are made for the restaurant’s easy-drinking yuzu rice lager, a collaboration with neighbouring Bridge Road Brewers. A selection of soju and house-made makgeolli, Korea’s beloved sparkling rice wine, is just as compelling.
The Dodam Meat Feast is a hearty but well-rounded main character. Choose between four grilled pork or beef dishes – perhaps a gloriously rich double-act of pork neck and belly – served with seaweed noodles, ssamjang, kimchi, fresh vegetables and pickled wild garlic leaves. Your job is to wrap it all up in those tangy leaves, ssam-style, and punch the sky in delight.
There’s a celebratory vibe in each dish here – a perfect outcome for a restaurant that lives for the janchi, a Korean word that describes a full-throttle feast.
Must-order: Dodam Meat Feast.
