This eatery is celebrated as a true local dining spot, where the ambiance brings one back to a bygone era through its interior and exterior design. It’s a baekban (set menu) restaurant that offers a hearty spread of Korean side dishes, soup (or jjigae), and rice. The menu keeps it simple with three distinct jjigae options: soft bean curd jjigae, known for its delicate texture; a robust soybean paste jjigae, simmered with savory soybean paste; and a zesty kimchi jjigae, renowned for its spicy excellence. Jjigae, a staple in Korean cuisine, pairs perfectly with rice and is a common feature at the Korean dinner table. Here, diners are invited to savor the authentic flavors of Korean home cooking. Notably, this restaurant has earned accolades for its moderately seasoned dishes that avoid overuse of spices, ensuring the flavors are palatable without being overpowering. Be mindful that during peak hours, like weekday lunchtimes, there may be a wait or the restaurant may be sold out of certain items due to popularity.
