Why here
Kansei is a Garak-dong restaurant with a split identity: a ₩12,000 ramen counter by day, built around a chicken-broth ramen with ajitama egg, chashu, and wonton, and a multi-course tasting kitchen by night. Chef Yoon Seok-hwan, an alum of the Michelin two-star Jueok, made the Heukbaeg Yorisa season 2 main round on the strength of that ramen.
