About the Cuisine

Korean

Korean cuisine (hansik) is built around balance — fermented sides (banchan), a steaming bowl of rice, and a main dish that changes with the season. Meals are served all at once rather than in courses, and sharing dishes at the table is the norm. The depth of flavor comes from slow-fermented pastes like doenjang (soybean) and gochujang (chili), which form the backbone of soups, stews, and marinades across the country.

The food itself isn't particularly special, but the price and portions are satisfactory, making it a great value for money snack or meal.

This traditional Korean stew spot seems to be open around the clock, making it a convenient choice anytime hunger strikes. The menu is simple, featuring classic stews like kimchijjigae, dongtaetang, and a few other dishes. The restaurant has plenty of tables, and the serving ajummas are welcoming and friendly, creating a warm, homey atmosphere. However, be prepared for the lingering smell of stew after your meal—it tends to stick around. The taste is decent, but I was a bit disappointed with the kimchijjigae I ordered. The stew mainly consisted of large chunks of unsliced kimchi and a couple of big pieces of meat, which didn’t offer much variety or flavor depth. Overall, it’s a good option for a quick, no-frills meal, but the kimchijjigae could use some improvement.
