Excellent place in Gangnam; feels homey mom and pop. No frills, exactly my style without being uptight or too fancy.

💬

I found some amazing Palbochae. This is a famous Chinese restaurant in Daechi-dong with a famous signature dish.

💬

The jjambbong was delicious, but the noodles were really good, and the fried rice was even more delicious because it was served on a hot plate.

This spot serves up generously filled dumplings with a satisfyingly thick skin, offering a distinct flavor profile compared to mass-produced options. While the dumplings themselves are a hit, the seating situation requires a workaround, often involving purchasing noodles next door to secure a spot.

The kimchi dumplings are spicy, the king dumplings are delicious, and the steamed buns are also delicious.

💬

The slightly thick skin gave them a rich flavor, which was nice, and the filling was definitely different from the dumplings you can easily find in stores.

It's delicious. However, it's small, so if you don't time it right, the wait can be quite long.

I ate across from the sink, and they washed the dishes very roughly. Anyway. Dishwater splashed all over my food.

This long-standing spot in Gangnam is a go-to for affordable, no-frills pork belly, especially for late-night cravings. While the imported meat is a budget-friendly choice, don't expect premium quality; it's the nostalgic taste and value that keep people coming back.

It's crowded during dinner hours, so expect a wait, so we recommend arriving a little early.

💬

The raw pork belly was 8,500 won per person, and all the meats didn't cost more than 9,000 won, making it a great value!

💬

In an age where scammers selling frozen pork belly for 17,000 won abound, this restaurant has stood firm for decades, offering honest prices.
