Why here
A Geumho-dong specialist in hongeo — skate fermented until it turns sharp with ammonia, the Jeolla-province delicacy that divides Korean diners more than any other dish. The counter serves it three ways: raw as sashimi, steamed as jjim, and in the samhap trio with boiled pork and aged kimchi. Licensed at this address as Gwangju Sikdang since 1987. Sung Si-kyung featured it on Meogeultende in June 2026.
