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.

This hidden gem offers high-quality, stone-grilled fish at an incredible price. The mackerel set typically costs 15,000 won, but for 11,000, it's incredibly delicious. The healthy, lightly grilled flavor is addictive. The side dishes are excellent, with a light, natural flavor that's true to its original flavor. They even make their own kimchi. While the rice is delicious, I highly recommend ordering it cooked in a stone pot for an extra 1,000 won. The open kitchen and other amenities are spacious and cozy, making it perfect for solo dining. As mentioned in other reviews, the owner is incredibly friendly. There's parking for about two cars next to the restaurant, and when I asked, they said they accept reservations. The menu is only in Korean, so I created an English version :)

The best fish in Seoul. Even the rice is amazing. Free refills as well. The owner is extremely kind.

There are six kinds of side dishes, including soup. Self-refills are available. The female owner is very friendly. The male owner grilling the meat yelled at her. Wow, wow, calm down. Don't get me wrong. The mackerel looks dry in the photo, but it's not at all. It's crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and just the right size. The stir-fried pork is enough for one person. You can replace the rice with pot rice for an extra 1,000 won. I recommend pot rice. I'll definitely order some scorched rice with the mackerel. The side dishes aren't fancy, but they're mostly vegetables, so they're clean and nice. The seaweed is especially nice. Oh, by the way, they don't make squid and chive pancakes anymore. Instead, they'll make cuttlefish salad after Chuseok. Ah, that's a shame. Recommended for when you crave a simple bowl of rice. No complaints.
