Gwanak-gu's university population (Seoul National University is the dominant anchor) drives a food scene of affordable restaurants, study cafés, and late-night delivery options. The local food culture is young, budget-conscious, and diverse — students from across Korea bring their regional food preferences and the restaurant scene reflects this variety.
Since 2021. Revisited. Dinner omakase. While many of the tsumami dishes would be better paired with sake, the selection was bland and weak. I quickly moved on to sushi. The cold octopus was also chewy, and the sea bream was chewy. The rice pudding was a bit chewy at the beginning, which was a shame. The rice pudding at the end was good. This was my second visit, and it seemed to fall far short of the competition in the same price range. Enjoyed the meal.
A variety of sushi was served, and I ordered the recommended sake and enjoyed it. There's also table seating, so it's a great place to sit and chat quietly with your group.
