Do I need a reservation at Donggang Haemuljjim?
Phone reservation (02-333-0053) is strongly and repeatedly recommended in blog visits from 2013 through 2025, especially for dinner and weekends. At least one 2025 visit note says the imokase (chef's-choice) course may require a minimum group size (around 4 diners); smaller parties can still order a la carte haemul-jjim without that minimum.
