Been eating here for 6 years. Always fantastic.

Korea Trip ✈️ Annyeonghaseyo💕 Animal Army Let's Korea 🇰🇷 We went to Honam Choi, a restaurant open from 7 AM in Dongdaemun, Seoul. We had a grilled fish set meal and other Korean food. This restaurant, located in Dongdaemun Grilled Fish Alley, has been around for over 50 years. The smell of fish grilled over charcoal in front of the restaurant is what draws you in. All main dishes come with free banchan. Free refills available. Includes rice and seaweed soup. *The Japanese yen may fluctuate, but generally, one zero is subtracted. Mackerel set meal: 13,000 won Stone croaker set meal: 14,000 won Hairtail set meal: 15,000 won Soondubu jjigae: 8,000 won Bulgogi: 11,000 won Squid and samgyeopsal: 14,000 won The grilled fish was amazing! It was so delicious! They mistook me for double the bill. Check out the menu carefully. (I know this because I have a Korean friend lol) The hairtail is the best.

★★★★☆R T9 months ago

It was a lovely restaurant with a kind owner. I decided to go there because the fish lined up in front of the stall were very fatty. I stopped by because I had to wait for my Dakgalbi. The hairtail was fluffy and delicious, and it was a memorable restaurant. Once I was seated, they served me kimchi, soup, and more. The stir-fried octopus was delicious! (Nakji bokkeum🐙)
