Gwangjin-gu's Konkuk University area has a dense concentration of restaurants catering to students — affordable, diverse, and open late. The area is a reliable destination for budget Korean dining: tteokbokki, kimbap, and pork cutlet restaurants line the streets near the university gates.
These days, there aren't many places that sell seafood stew, and the prices have gotten so expensive. However, I saw a video on YouTube a while ago that looked delicious, and since it was near a market near Konkuk University, the prices were reasonable, so we decided to have a get-together. If you walk about 10 minutes from Konkuk University Station, you'll find a small market, and it turned out to be a lot of good restaurants nearby. I called the owner in advance to make a reservation, and although there weren't many people when I arrived, it was full as expected after a while. (Saturday) The female owner was very kind, so we were happy. The interior was a bit shabby, but I like that kind of thing, so the drinks were delicious. I took the picture while stirring the seafood stew, so it came out a bit shabby, but the four of us ordered one seafood stew and some bulgogi and enjoyed it. The seafood stew was generous, and there was also octopus on it, but it's not in the picture. I plan to visit again and try some of the other dishes I haven't tried yet.
