Why here
A longstanding Jongno-3-ga hot pot shop known for its sundae-gopchang jeongol — a shared stew of blood sausage and beef tripe served in small/medium/large pot sizes — plus individually sized sagol and spicy sundae-guk soup bowls at lunch. It draws long waits, sometimes up to roughly two hours at peak times, and after 5pm jeongol orders require a minimum of two servings, though solo diners can still eat via individual soup bowls before 5pm or by sharing a table. Featured on Kim Three Meals (김사원세끼).
