Cuisine Type
Korean

Rated 4.9 on Naver — outstanding by local diners, featured in 1,968 Korean food blog posts as one of the most talked-about 한식 spots.

Known for traditional Korean cuisine, this spot draws diners from across Seoul.

7 min walk from Hongdae Station Station, making it easy to combine your meal with a visit to nearby attractions like Hongdae Guide: Seoul's Indie Music & Nightlife Hub.

About 한식

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 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.

What Visitors Say

★★★★★Hong Wei1 month ago

A pleasant surprise in this area. We ordered the spicy chicken stew and sweet and sour fried chicken, and would recommend both. The spicy chicken stew is reminiscent of traditional Andong jjimdak, but with a strong spicy kick. The sweet and sour fried chicken has a tangy, slightly citrusy twist—somewhat like sweet and sour pork with an orange note. I’d definitely come back to try their grilled duck. Do note that it’s quite a small shop, with tables that fit up to four people each.

★★★★★Esthee Wong7 months ago

We rarely eat chicken but we enjoyed their lunch set so much. Quality perilla leaves in generous portions and delicious side dishes that we had to have 2nd portions :)
