Unlike its name, meaning “fishcake restaurant,” Odeng Sikdang specializes in sausage jjigae. Its history can be traced back to the ‘60s, when the first-generation owner opened the restaurant. Now in the third generation, the restaurant remains in its old spot. The restaurant, in fact, began as a food stall selling fishcakes. Its sausage jjigae began as a stir-fried dish featuring ingredients obtained from the nearby US Army base (ham, sausage, bacon, etc.), which over time turned into a jjigae to be eaten with rice. Odeng Sikdang’s sausage jjigae is an exercise in harmony, where processed meat products are used in tandem with Korean-style broth, rice cakes, and noodles to create a flavorful stew. Because of its fame, it is often quite crowded, but prompt service and rapid turnover mean that one usually does not have to spend hours in a queue outside peak hours (weekday lunch and dinner, weekends). Note that the restaurant has an annex, where groups of 5 or more are directed towards.
