★★★★★hellomon_1 year ago

This is a decent old-fashioned restaurant. It contains heavy amount of garlic but the soup is mild and savory. It's a popular place, so there might be a queue.

★★★★★Zoe Robbins8 months ago

Garlicky chicken soupy tteokboki - only one dish on the menu. Rich and delicious, definitely suggest rice to soak up the soup at the end.

★★★★★Young1 year ago

The best Dak-Dori-Tang we have had. This place has been featured on several Korean food TV shows throughout the years. They only serve 1 food option (Dak-Dori-Tang), so be aware before going here. Soft and juicy chicken texture coated with mild spicy Korean redpepper soup flavor. Big chunk of minced garlics help completely remove chicken meaty smell. Would highly recommend.
