Why here
Eomeoniwa Adeul is the dakbokkeumtang stall at the entrance to Hongeun-dong's Pobangteo Market, a Blue Ribbon Survey pick that first drew attention through Baek Jong-won's Alley Restaurant. It's walk-in only, and queues typically build not long after the roughly 11:30am opening. ChopChop University checked back on how the once-struggling business has turned around.
