Extremely friendly and delicious kimchi stew with kbbq!

★★★★★Raine1 year ago

My spouse and I turned the wrong direction at the subway exit and came across Simin sikdang and decided to eat there. We were met with great hospitality and great food. I am so glad we took a wrong turn or as my spouse called it "a wrong turn turned right" We hope to visit again soon!
