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.

About the District

Mapo-gu

Mapo-gu — home to Hongdae, Sinchon, and Hapjeong — is Seoul's youth and arts district, defined by its university population, live music venues, and creative energy. The food scene is diverse, affordable, and experimental: trendy cafés, late-night pojangmacha, global street food, and boundary-pushing restaurants all compete for attention in this perpetually buzzing neighbourhood.

The food is fine, but the management of the place is a mess. It seems like the owner is the only one running the place. He's not friendly, and he's always talking nonsense about the food. Instead of explaining it in a way that customers can easily understand, he just blurts out what he wants to say. I had to ask, "Huh? What?" and even then, his explanations weren't easy to understand. The customers at the next table left their items behind, and he grumbled about having lost something. That's not the right thing to do when other customers are present. Is there really any need to gossip about customers when they're there? When I try to pay, he keeps coming in and out for a cigarette, so I have to calculate the timing of the owner's cigarette break before paying. The smell on his hands and breath is also unpleasant. It would have been better if he'd just said "Yes!" when I asked for the bill, but he just finished his work and came back, seemingly without even realizing it. This used to be Hwangnam Gukbap, but now it's a new Gukbap restaurant. They should keep in mind that Gukbap has never been a success before and operate accordingly. With this attitude, I don't want to come back and spend money again.

The pork bone soup is clean, with crunchy, refreshing bean sprouts and a broth as clean as clam broth. The boiled pork is also clean, and they offer a soy sauce dipping option, which is delicious.
