HeebabHeebab’s reviewHighly recommended

“Just order drinks and bossam and sundubu-jjigae come out as endless side dishes”

  • Bossam (boiled pork wraps)BestSo tender it melts in your mouth and delicious
  • Sundubu-jjigae (soft tofu stew)A perfect drinking snack; would feel like ₩15,000 outside
  • Gyeran-mari (rolled omelet)Has cheese in it and is so good

Liked

  • Side dishes are free if you pay for drinks
  • Well-structured lineup and course of side dishes
  • Soup comes out at the right timing

Downsides

  • It feels wrong to order just 1 beer
  • The soju glasses are too small
Price
Soju or beer ₩5,000 per bottle
Atmosphere
Pocha (tent-bar) atmosphere like a holy land for drinkers
Service
The owner reads drinkers' minds and brings out side dishes
Would return
Said 'let's come often' and that they'd probably just drop by
Good for
Round 3-4 gatherings with lots of drinking
Value
9 bottles for ₩45,000 with 11-12 side dishes
Tips
  • Look for it next to Nammun Hobak-jip, not in Yeongdeungpo Market itself
  • Only go if you plan to drink a lot
  • Regular customers get the same side dishes
