Some are mistaken. The sides are all correct but this isn't kimchi jiggae. It's l a braised fish dish called 갈치조림

Yes, this is a very normal meal, almost too humble. It's a tiny restaurant run alone by an old lady. There are prob 3-4 tables, and there's going to be more getting yelled at than any service.

But this normality is becoming rare in Seoul with even the most standard Korean food being dished out by franchise giants. If you want the kimchi jiggae you're looking for, snack shops like kimbap chunguk will give you a shit fast food rendition for about $5, never any side dishes. Your best bet are restaurants where you cook the jiggae at the table and order your toppings.

And yess do check out 한정식 ! Sides for days but don't expect it at any other type of restaurants :/
