Seongdong-gu's Seongsu-dong has transformed from an industrial zone into Seoul's most talked-about food and culture district. Nicknamed 'Seoul's Brooklyn,' it hosts artisan roasters, pop-up restaurants, and concept cafés in renovated factories alongside high-end boutiques. The food scene rewards curiosity — the best spots are often down an alleyway or behind an unmarked door.
I used to visit occasionally even before the renovation, but after the refurbishment, the system switched to kiosks and table ordering. I hope the overall service improves. The hall management is poor. Customers clear their own tables after finishing their meals, and only wipe away the napkins immediately. Tables where the chairs aren't arranged likely haven't been wiped down either. The water isn't replaced with fresh water either (even though I was almost finished). There is no function to call a staff member on the table ordering system. It seems the kiosk and table ordering systems get mixed up, as the order in which the food was served was different. If you feel your food isn't coming out, please check with a staff member. Seeing things like rice grains stuck to the edges of the bowls or oil stains on the plates of the raw beef sushi, it doesn't seem like much care is put into serving the food.
