Why here
Midong Sikdang is a tiny izakaya tucked down a quiet lane by an old rail line in Migeun-dong, serving a chef's-choice course of aged sashimi and Japanese-style bar snacks for around 10,000 won a head. It takes no reservations and caps parties at four, filling up fast during the weekday after-work rush but turning tables quickly. Featured on Kim Three Meals (김사원세끼).
