FROM OTHER DINERS
Haven’t had dakgalbi in ages, and this was so satisfying, especially with somaek (soju + beer). Hope everyone had fried rice afterwards 😋🙌 That’s what makes it complete!
This is one of my favorite restaurants in seoul. They give you so much food for so cheap and it’s amazing. I love how they also turn your leftovers into fried rice! Me and my friends love coming here after class.
Solid 3.5 stars. Only tourists at 2-3pm on a Thursday. The chicken is mostly sweet and not ton spicy. We were 3 people and we got the set with noodles, sweet potatoes and rice cake and cheese. At the end we added one portion of rice and made fried rice. It was okay, nothing mind
