Pitang Gimtang 피탕김탕
Gongju · Geum River & Sinkwan-dong · Meal
A Chinese-Korean restaurant north of the river, known for tangsuyuk, crisp sweet-and-sour pork, which here is topped with melted cheese and served in a pizza-like style. The dish is made for sharing, so it works best with three or four people, and it pairs well with plain noodles or fried rice. Other standard Chinese-Korean dishes are on the menu as well.
Prices are mid-range. Weekends can be busy, so a weekday lunch or an early dinner is easier. It is not a good match for solo travelers, diners who avoid pork, or anyone expecting delicate flavors.
A car or taxi is helpful because the location is a bit out of the way.
It lies north of the river, about 15 minutes by taxi from the bus terminal; there is a parking lot. (Show a driver: 피탕김탕)
