About this place
Ordering sundubu starts with a choice: red or white. Hiroya’s set meal, listed at ¥1,200, comes with clams, pork and tofu. Choose a spicy bowl or the white version, depending on your mood. Diners have described it as pleasantly spicy and rich, with generous seafood and vegetable fillings; one also remarked on the depth of the meat stock. A set meal was reported to include an assortment of namul, and diners who had it with rice were also pleased by the combination of spicy kimchi jjigae and rice. It is a dish to consider when you want lunch centred on a hearty soup.
Charcoal-grilled pork galbi is another mainstay. The set meal costs ¥1,400 and puts grilled meat at the heart of the meal, offering an alternative to sundubu. Diners have commented that the bone-in galbi was prepared so it was easy to eat, and praised the charcoal’s smoky aroma. Choosing between soup and grilled meat is part of the appeal.
If you are eating as you go, you can take charcoal-grilled pork galbi away rather than sit down for a set meal. One diner said they enjoyed the meat at home after buying it to take away, and the menu also lists a pack of Busan charcoal-grilled pork for takeaway. Korean restaurant Hiroya offers dine-in and takeaway, and is described as suitable for solo diners. It can work for a filling sundubu meal or for enjoying galbi at home.
