Infinite Refill 3 That Editors Visit Regularly

"My Stomach, Are You Ready!"

The mere mention of "unlimited refills" is enough to satisfy your appetite. While buffets offering a variety of dishes are great, single-menu unlimited refill restaurants where you can eat as much as you want of your favorite dish are also fantastic. However, there is a common perception that although unlimited refill places guarantee quantity, they do not guarantee quality. Therefore, an editor who is passionate about food has prepared a list of unlimited refill restaurants visited more than n times. These places are trustworthy in terms of quality, so be sure to stop by on days when you want to eat to your heart's content. Especially, salmon, lamb, and shabu-shabu are the stars of today’s feature, so you can look forward to it.

Yeoneo Market

Salmon contains 21% protein and 8.4% fat, along with vitamins that aid protein absorption. It has established itself as a superfood and is delicious whether grilled or eaten raw. Its bright red color mixed with white tendons is exquisite, and it is characterized by a rich, oily flavor. Yeoneo Market has its main branch in Seokgye and can also be found in Gunja and Sangbong in Seoul, as well as Yangju in Gyeonggi Province.

Appetizing salads, tteokbokki, and kimchi pancakes are served as basic side dishes, all of which are also available with unlimited refills. The tteokbokki has a soft texture from being simmered for a long time, reminiscent of a traditional snack bar style, and the kimchi pancake, despite containing only kimchi without other ingredients, is spicy and flavorful.

Salmon + Tuna Set.

Behold the appetizing appearance of salmon and tuna. Accompaniments such as onions, radish sprouts, wasabi, and tartar sauce are provided. This place can break the negative perception of eating sashimi with unlimited refills. Compared to sashimi sold at most sashimi restaurants, it is neither fishy nor inconsistent in quality and taste, which makes it even better.

When salmon starts to feel greasy, be sure to order the spicy bul ramen. With bean sprouts inside, it resembles a hangover soup, and the smoky flavor completely eliminates any greasiness. It naturally makes you crave a sip of alcohol. Just when you think you can’t handle the greasiness and are about to put down your chopsticks, one bite of the ramen will bring you back to your senses.

Ramuyaki

Lamb has the advantage of being easier to digest compared to beef and pork because its muscle fibers are thinner and its tissue is weaker. However, some people may have hesitated to try it due to the distinctive aroma of lamb. Moreover, since it is expensive, if you have not tried it yet, we recommend challenging yourself at Ramuyaki, a cost-effective restaurant located near Seokgye Station. There is also good news that a second branch will soon open in Sangbong.

The restaurant is set up in a bar style where you can sit side by side. A brazier is placed right in front of you, giving a slight camping vibe. Wasabi, salt, soy sauce, tartar sauce, cumin powder, spicy scallions, and pickled side dishes are provided as standard.

Unlimited refills of lamb ribs and lamb T-bone are available. If you want to enjoy various parts of a whole lamb with plenty of fat, we recommend the lamb ribs. If you want to enjoy a tender texture with a satisfying chew, go for the lamb T-bone.

Vegetables that go well grilled with lamb are also prepared. These include eggplant, mushrooms, and cherry tomatoes. Eating a well-grilled scallion with a piece of meat enhances the flavor even more. If you want to enjoy it spicy, dip it in the prepared cumin powder or pair it with scallions. Pineapple, which helps cut through greasiness, completes the experience perfectly.

Isn't beer the perfect match for lamb!

For dessert, we recommend the cup bingsu that helps cut through greasiness. It tastes just like the old-fashioned bingsu with strawberry syrup. After your meal, the free plum tea provided is also great for aiding digestion.

Sodam Village

One of the biggest challenges for people living alone is not getting enough variety of vegetables. While it may feel awkward to describe the vegetables you usually eat as "delicious," if you eat them as shabu-shabu or Vietnamese spring rolls, you can deliciously increase your vegetable intake that you might have missed before. Sodam Village, where you can eat unlimited vegetables, can be found nationwide.

Although meat is not unlimited refill, there is a refill bar where you can eat unlimited vegetables. For shabu-shabu, there are dumplings, fried tofu, fish balls, knife-cut noodles, sujebi (hand-pulled dough flakes), pumpkin, bean sprouts, and bok choy. For Vietnamese spring roll ingredients, there are crab sticks, pineapple, sprouts, iceberg lettuce, perilla leaves, onions, carrots, and other colorful vegetables. Rice paper, hot water, and shabu-shabu broth are also available.

Sodam Village’s main dish is Vietnamese spring roll mushroom shabu-shabu, which boasts the freshest ingredients delivered daily from the production area at dawn. It features a healthy menu with six types of mushrooms, including lion’s mane, cordyceps militaris, and golden enoki. Additionally, Wagyu beef Vietnamese spring roll shabu-shabu is also available.

You can choose between basic or spicy broth, and brisket or neck meat (120g provided). But since you can also order half and half, if you’re a big eater, try ordering half and half! You can also add Wagyu to taste all three types of beef. Brisket is fatty and pairs better with spicy broth, while neck meat is much more tender. The marbled Wagyu is even softer and richer. In other words, we strongly recommend ordering Wagyu shabu-shabu from the start!

Since the K-dessert is fried rice, a small amount of rice and one egg are provided as standard. You add them to the remaining broth and fry them. Because the rice portion is small, the egg flavor is prominent, so it is recommended to use the spicy broth rather than the basic broth. After your meal, you can also enjoy free ice cream and plum tea at the caf?. Americano coffee costs only 500 won. If you visit the Sodam Village branch in Suyu, you can enjoy an open view of Bukhansan Mountain, so be sure to make time to visit.
