At Minamok: Waits are split roughly evenly between none and a short wait; lunch peak and weekend evenings are the times a queue is most likely to form.

Expect under ₩15,000 per person at Minamok. Gomtang ~13,000 won regular, 15,000-20,000 won large (2024 mentions)

We haven't confirmed whether Minamok keeps an English menu — most neighbourhood spots in Seoul don't. This page lists what to order in English, and the restaurant's Korean name is printed on it, so you can show the name at the door and order by pointing at the counter. Cards are accepted almost everywhere, and there is no tipping.
