Meogeultende’s reviewHighly recommended
“Simmering octopus with bacon sausage and mixing it into rice is addictive”
- Bacon sausage (Budae-gogi style)BestAdding bacon makes the savory flavor much better
- Extra nakji (octopus)The spiciness becomes tremendously appealing as it simmers
- Rice mixed with sesame oilOne spoonful of sesame oil is really delicious
- Seated right away after 4 PM
- Said not to be a place for dining alone
- Atmosphere
- Nostalgic old-school place crowded with office workers
- Service
- Happily accommodates requests for extra sauce and broth
- Would return
