Why here

An evening-only anju house behind Namyeong Station, licensed here since 1993 and still built around the same short list of drinking food: stir-fried squid, a griddled egg-and-sausage scramble the menu calls gyeran-beombeok, golbaengi-muchim, and a few stews. Nothing on the menu is styled for photographs. Sung Si-kyung featured it on Meogeultende in April 2026.

Cards are accepted almost everywhere, and there is no tipping.
