Yongyong Seonsaeng, Nonhyeon — twenty friends, one volcano mala hot pot, ₩530,000 for the table 2026-09-24 The dishes built to go with drinks are better than they need to be, and the prices hold low. But what makes the place is the room: step inside and it is like turning into a Hong Kong side street, and the private space turns a big group into a crew with its own hideout. I run this place, so weigh my words accordingly — but a twenty-person night is exactly what a pub like this does best, and it is how I would send a group of visitors here.

It's a pretty busy and popular place in a decent populated area of Seoul, so expect it to be busy. I wouldn't come with the expectations of it being Hong Kong authentic but rather fusion with the decor more old school Hong Kong style. Personally, I really enjoyed my time and expe

Hongkong style pub that has chinese beer and dishes. The place is quite loud when filled with people. The dishes are ok but they are not fult authentic. You can order Chinese beer and alcohol.
