Rated 4.2 on Naver — very well-reviewed by local diners, featured in 130 Korean food blog posts as one of the most talked-about 정종/대포집/소주방 spots.
Known for pojangmacha (Korean tent restaurant) culture and Korean street food, this is a go-to destination for those who know Seoul's food scene.
28 min walk from Itaewon Station Station, making it easy to combine your meal with a visit to nearby attractions like K-Drama Filming Locations Tour: Seoul's Best Spots in One Day.
Yongsan-gu contains Itaewon — Seoul's most international neighbourhood — as well as the scenic Hannam district and Yongsan Electronics Market. Itaewon's food scene reflects its global community: Indian, Middle Eastern, African, and American restaurants share streets with high-end Korean and Japanese establishments. It's also where many of Seoul's foreign chefs have set up their most ambitious projects.

But if I were to ignore the taste and give it a generous score, it would be a poor value. It's a restaurant worth visiting at least once, leaving it as a nostalgic memory.
Long-established? Traditional? This place is just unfriendly. I was looking for a second round with friends and saw this place nearby, so I went in. I really regretted it. I should've looked up some reviews before going. I paid for it myself and I can't even order what I want. ㅋㅋㅋ I have to eat this and that;; It doesn't feel clean either. They said it was on Gourmet Heo Young-man's Baekban Travelogue? It makes me question the quality of the program. If the food was delicious, there wouldn't be a problem, but the food is neither here nor there. The price is on the high side. 50 years of tradition? Does that make sense? Is business really that easy? How can they treat customers so rudely and still make a business? This is truly amazing. ㅋㅋㅋ It's beyond comprehension.
