FROM OTHER DINERS
The interior is small but the food has stayed to the same high quality since 1990. I enjoyed lunch here. The banchan is unlimited. I do think that the meat portion is pretty small even by Korean standards. I enjoyed the banchan.
The meat was very nicely done along with the side dish served. The flavour of the meat was nicely introduced and enhanced with the sauce and lettuce. Would recommend a try to those who are considering
Charcoal grill. The pork belly is a must. Excellent customer service. One block away from the busy tourist area. I’ll be back again when I visit Korea.
