Song Jook Heon is a classic hanjeongsik, or traditional Korean restaurant.
This restaurant is located across the street from the secret garden of Changdeok Palace.
This meal is pre-designed by the chef and can include up to 30 dishes. The food served here originated in royal palaces of ancient Korea. With the popularity of Korean soap operas, more people are being introduced to this type of meal. We noticed another room had a bunch of businessmen and some female accompaniment.
We were given a private room with a minimal amount of furniture, and the food just starting coming. The people there spoke very little English. We asked them about several dishes and got no correct response.
Typical dishes include: several kinds of Kimchi, steamed pork, grilled abalone with pan-fried ginkgo berries, japchae noodles, hodo root, totovivo, salmon salad, hot duck patties with a hint of ginger, and codfish dumplings with an egg white foam, bulgogi, pickled garlic, jeotgal and jangahjji
