Sinsikdang
신식당
An old-established Damyang tteokgalbi restaurant founded in 1932 and run by four generations, often regarded as one of the oldest tteokgalbi restaurants in Korea.
Located in Damyang-eup, this restaurant was founded in 1932 and is run by four generations of the same family, who make their own soy sauce, soybean paste, and chili paste. The signature dish is tteokgalbi, made by molding minced short rib meat back onto the bone and grilling it over charcoal. A single portion of three patties costs about KRW 37,000 and requires a minimum order for two people. A smaller tteokgalbi platter, which includes two patties and bamboo-tube rice (daetongbap), is about KRW 31,000. The restaurant has 168 seats, a parking lot, and accepts phone reservations. Waiting times are common on weekends, and prices are slightly higher than similar establishments. It is a short drive from Juknokwon (Bamboo Garden), making it easy to combine with a Damyang day trip.
