FROM OTHER DINERS
A hidden gem in the neighborhood. Start with beef and tendon stew (수육) then noodle then giant dumplings (만두). It was so much food for four of us. Everything was so tasty but dumplings were exceptional! Oh everyone said that they are famous for kimchi!!!
The food was amazing and the staff were sooo kind to us, we really recommend this place to eat traditional korean dishes
The beef soups are not thick anymore.
