Reviews

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!

Delicious food in authentic Korean restaurant. The Kimchi Jim has pork that breaks apart as you touch it and the Egg Mari is huge and has melted cheese inside.

Always tasty. My friends and I always get the 김치찜 and 계란말이 along with a couple bottles of 막걸리. The interior is interesting with several rooms and staircase style floors. The prices are reasonable. There is plenty of space, so it's possible to bring a larger group. All the seating is on the floor.

Main menu is kimchiccim which made of kimchi boiled with fork and some other ingredients. Little bit hot and spicy but it is really recommended. You can add some noodles in it. I also recommend gyeranmary(fried eggs rolled in shape of bread). Adding some ketchup on it tastes great. Rice and noodles can be refilled.

This is one of my favorite places to eat in Seoul. There is nothing glamorous about the location, but the food is so delicious that everyone in the family will enjoy it. The price is very reasonable too.
