A decades-old neighborhood raw-fish spot tucked into a Pildong side street near Chungmuro station, known for a generous, low-priced assorted-hoe course that regulars jokingly call "imokase" for its chef's-choice feel. Individual menu items like grilled fish and fish stew run roughly 11,000-13,000 won, and the set course is priced around 20,000-25,000 won per person. It draws office workers and older neighborhood regulars for evening drinking sessions, with a short wait common after the afternoon break ends. Featured on Kim Three Meals (김사원세끼).
