“ Awesome pork soup. They have an English menu! Best to have this soup when it’s slightly cool weather. Happened to be a cloudy day in Seoul today! So tasty and meat falls off the bone! Quaint little shop! Ahjumma at store was very sweet to us! Felt a warm welcome and will definitely return next time! ”

“ I do not often write reviews but this is MUST! This unassuming & unpretentious cozy restaurant with truly heart warming foods is what Seoul is all about! Traveling about 8,000 miles from home, this restaurant makes it so worthwhile. We happened to walk by and love the feel of it and went straight into the restaurant. It is a small restaurant but the soups are so delicious, just like it is made from our own kitchen but much much better!:) We had the Back rib spicy soup and the Ginseng chicken rice soup. Paired with the Soju of course! :) OMG! Heavenly evening. Please try this place if you are in the area. Kimchi was the best! ”

“ Open late and very fast service. Cozy atmosphere. The pork hangover soup was rich and flavorful without being heavy. Rolled omelet was lots of egg and green onion, very simple and filling. Perfect for a late night meal after arriving ”

“ Food was great! Staff was very diligent the entire time we were there. We had forgotten a bag of souvenirs and came back a few hours later and they had kept it aside for us which I appreciated. ”

“ Good place for a hot pot stew. Pork is cooked to tender and fall right off the bones! Personally i think the soup need a little more seasoning. ”
