◼️"Four Commitments" Unchanged Since Founding 16 Years Ago
Unique "Aged Raw Sauce" and the Magic of Direct-Fire Grilling
Our signature kalbi bowl uses a "secret aged raw sauce" made from carefully selected soy sauce blended with vegetables and fruits. Grilling it quickly over high heat with direct fire upon order creates a fragrant char on the sauce, maximizing the meat's umami. This "fragrance" is the key to Kandon's unique flavor, which cannot be replicated at home.
Handmade "Tadegi" Sundubu for a One-of-a-Kind Taste
The "tadegi," the soul of sundubu, is meticulously handmade daily at our factory. Using this "tadegi" as a base, we carefully prepare a rich, deep special soup condensed with the flavors of seafood and meat in-house, serving it bubbling hot. It's a healthy and satisfying dish where the flavors of the ingredients meld together, enjoyable hot until the very last spoonful.
A Wide Menu to Satisfy Everyone
From hearty bowl dishes to nutritious sundubu that's also great for women, we offer a wide variety of options. Whether for a quick solo lunch or a relaxed family dinner, you can easily enjoy authentic flavors in any situation.
"Live" Atmosphere Created by the Open Kitchen
We are committed to an open kitchen where you can not only be served food but also experience the "sounds, aromas, and heat" of cooking up close. The sight of our chefs grilling meat and simmering soup is a true culinary entertainment. You can experience the "freshly made deliciousness" with all your senses.
