Read guide →Bunsik — Korean street-food snacks — evolved as affordable, filling fare for students and workers after the Korean War. Tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes), kimbap (seaweed rice rolls), sundae (blood sausage), and odeng (fish cake skewers in broth) are the staples. Most bunsik restaurants are fast, casual, and open late, making them a go-to for a quick hot meal at any hour.
Yeongdeungpo-gu's Times Square mall and Yeouido financial district generate a diverse food scene of department store restaurants, business lunch spots, and the Han River cycling culture that has made outdoor food and coffee culture a fixture of the waterfront.
I visited twice and tried the spicy mackerel bibimbap and the fermented kimchi stew. While the portions of side dishes and rice were a bit small, the taste was decent. The service was a bit abrupt, and the dim lighting didn't quite match the restaurant's atmosphere. The prices were a bit disappointing considering the portions, but considering the location, it's understandable. The menu is a bit on the small side, and I wish there was a bit more variety.
