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.
Dongjak-gu spans the southern bank of the Han River, with Noryangjin Fish Market — one of Seoul's largest wholesale and retail seafood markets — as its defining food landmark. Eating fresh sashimi at the market itself, surrounded by tanks of live seafood, is a quintessential Seoul experience available around the clock.
Not going to the Alps is like not going to Heukseok. Updating after a review from two years ago. I've been a regular here for eight years. Honestly, the food is absolutely delicious! Try everything! The yakisoba is also a hit! The atmosphere is incredibly relaxed, and it's a great place for solo drinking, couples, or friends.
My only regular restaurant for five years. The yakisoba is so addictive that I can't stop thinking about it.

A good place for drinks, a bar with a great atmosphere.
