Todamjip showcases Taean's local produce with hearty, homestyle dishes. Meals arrive with about a dozen simple banchan that feel warmly generous. The signature dish is Ureok — a clear soup made with rice-wash water, dried rockfish (ureokpo), scallion, chili and tofu, seasoned with saeujeot (salted fermented shrimp) for a clean, lingering umami and a pleasantly chewy bite from the rehydrated rockfish. The soy-marinated spring crab () is another favorite, cured in a special soy sauce with vegetables and honeycomb to reduce saltiness and highlight the crab's natural sweetness.
