Warming up to the perfect winter dish - their authentic Korean soup was a delicious find! The staff were super polite and accommodating, despite the language barrier. Google Translate worked like a charm, and we managed to communicate just fine. Plus, the servings were huge and heavy - definitely value for money! And the banchans? Endless refills, it was a great experience. A lovely find at this local gem.

One of our BEST meal! 🥘 We wanted a traditional Korean breakfast, and landed here! Seats are limited. There was a line 7:30A!!! But the line went fast! The server comes out to get your order while you’re in line. When you are seated, the food 🥘 comes out immediately: hot & delicious 😋 The menu is simple with four items. So if you want lots of choices, this is not for you. But if you want great traditional food/flavors, this is a MUST! But don’t plan on lingering after your meal, the ladies will hover over you to leave. Don’t take it personally! They like to have the line moving along.😉

Super old school korean stew place! Not confusing to order, food is very hearty and homely. Mountains of refills for banchan. Good for breakfast, lunch and dinner! No English, no problem. Just Google translate the menu and its pretty straight forward. Non spicy stew, tofu or no tofu. Spicy stew tofu or no tofu. There you go!

Best kimchi soup ever!! Only 4 dishes in the menu, banchan is delicious as well. My favorite place in Seoul without a doubt.

Authentic and very casual, very old school shop. Food is super great value for money. Simple items. Tasted good. There’s a short menu and no English.
