The seafood tteokbokki has mussels in it. This is my first time seeing tteokbokki with mussels, but it's delicious.

💬

The tteok are soft and chewy and not spicy! The sweet and sour soup with the cabbage is also amazing! The fantastic fried rice is also fantastic.

💬

It's a bit more expensive than it appears if you add various toppings, but considering current prices, it's quite reasonable.

It's good value for money, and it's the best when you press rice into the seaweed powder and eat it.

It was delicious and the girl was very friendly. I loved it. I highly recommend it.

The store is small and filled with young students. They're all crammed in, and they're always talking, so they just quickly eat the basics without adding anything else.

The mild cheonggukjang (fermented soybean paste stew) and the clean side dishes served on a tray, along with the braised pork and steamed eggs, are both delicious and cost-effective.

The cheonggukjang didn't smell overpowering, and the various vegetables served together made for a nice mix. It was delicious!

The mothers serve the food, and this place has a well-established system. Because the system is so robust, sometimes customer requests are ignored.

If there are no seats available, you'll have to eat where they grill it, so I recommend making a reservation.

💬

Note: The building's design remains unchanged from the Japanese colonial era, which is a unique feature

💬

The eel flesh was about 2/3 as thin as what you get elsewhere, so the eel didn't have a rich flavor

The food and dim sum were all delicious. In particular, the fish-flavored eggplant shrimp, black vinegar sweet and sour pork, and yulinggi were truly delicious.

💬

The dim sum at Hagyo and Guchaegyo were truly delicious. The disappointment I'd experienced at other locations was completely remedied at this location.

My favorite dim sum place is Chuan De Chuan De, the dough is beyond chewy. The har gow and chive dumplings are so delicious.
