Gangdong-gu in southeastern Seoul is a family-oriented district known for its community markets and traditional Korean restaurants. Cheonho Market offers one of Seoul's best selections of traditional banchan, grilled fish, and home-style Korean cooking away from the tourist circuit.
My wife's favorite place for decades. I came here for the same old taste, but it was surprisingly crowded. Prices range from 9,000 to 12,000 won. It used to be all-you-can-eat, but these days, they charge 2,000 won for a single pork cutlet refill. Still, the quantity seems to be a moat, and the taste is just average. It's a place run by a group of aunts. It's a good place for families or those looking for a large meal. There doesn't seem to be a dedicated parking lot; just go up to the second floor. The meat is decent, as it's made with dodram (Korean beef). The radish kimchi adds a nice kick, perfect for when you're feeling a little squeamish. The window seat is a nice spot to sit and enjoy the view. It seems like a lot of locals frequent this place.
Hmm... It's not as good as I thought. The pork cutlet portion is generous, but the sauce is bland. ㅠㅠ They serve pickled radish kimchi... What does it taste like????@.@ The soup is the best...;; The atmosphere is also dark... I don't think I'll be back...
