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.

More importantly, there's a smoking area inside, so non-smokers might find it a bit inconvenient. People come and go a lot, so I guess people I know come here, and there are a lot of smokers. Most of the customers are office workers nearby, so the atmosphere isn't very pleasant. Still, the food is delicious.
