Visited this place many years ago, when it was situated in an old house, it had such nice rustic vibes. The shop has since moved 5 years ago to this new shop. Although it does not have that rustic vibes, the food is still pretty good, I love the slow boiled pork with kimchi, so flavourful and wonderful with rice. The egg and side dishes are also done really well. Will visit again, when I visit Seoul.

Very humble local restaurant where you can taste the original Kimchi Jjim! (Something similar to Kimchi soup). Staffs were so friendly, service was very quick, and of course food was delicious.

I can't recommend this place enough, if I could find my way back without our guide I'd of went more while visiting Seoul! This place is an absolute must!! Authentic food at a great price! (Also great if you like spicy food) probably best to bring a native speaker as well for ordering make sure to try the kimchi in this place it's amazing!
