FROM OTHER DINERS
Great food and quick service. They don’t speak English but you can gesture it out.
First meal in Seoul, an excellent sweet and spicy pork, great banchan dishes and soup. The service is great as long you’re polite and respectful. There might be a waiting period when the place is crowded.
It's a place that serves only pork, apparently, since after sitting down, we were told there were just two set options to choose from. We did not understand what those two sets were, so we looked at the table next to us and said we would take the same. And we were not dissapointe
