Kim SawonKim Sawon’s reviewHighly recommended

“The jjukkumi samgyeopsal sauce is spicy but well balanced”

  • Jjukkumi Samgyeopsal (spicy baby octopus with grilled pork belly)BestNot too spicy, just deliciously hot sauce
  • Gamjajeon (potato pancake)Golden and a real treat, great with drinks
  • Gyeranjjim (steamed egg)Nutty, but so hot that it makes the food feel spicier

Liked

  • Well-balanced sauce
  • Authentic side dishes from a 36-year tradition
  • The complimentary steamed egg is rich and nutty

Downsides

  • The steamed egg is hot, which makes things feel even spicier
  • The sauce is strong, so one bowl of rice isn't enough
Atmosphere
A worn-down old eatery, a small place with about 6 tables
Good for
Drinking snacks, or enjoying an old-school eatery atmosphere
Tips
  • Order 2 bowls of rice
  • Be careful, the steamed egg is hot
  • Have the potato pancake with soju
