Kim Sawon’s reviewRecommended

“An old-school Chinese pocha to enjoy fried pork and jjajangmyeon-bap as drinking snacks”

• Gogi-twigim (fried pork)BestUnlike sweet and sour pork (tangsuyuk), it's nutty and tender, ideal as a drinking snack
• Jjajangmyeon-bap (black bean sauce over rice)Old-time pool hall jjajang style, using fresh noodles
• Warm jeongjong (warm sake)Strong, like Cheongha, but sweet

Atmosphere

About 10 counter seats, an old-school place with a 1970s-80s Hong Kong movie feel

Service

The owner is warm and really kind

Would return

Already been back, and last time they tried the sowadan (preserved duck egg)

Good for

People with stories, reunited couples, drinks with friends

Value

Prices are said to be quite reasonable

Tips

• Dip the fried pork in danjang sauce or salt
• On nice days, enjoy jjajangmyeon with soju outdoors
• They also sell sowadan (preserved duck egg)
