Why here

A raw-squid specialist near Yeongdeungpo Station that has run out of the same storefront since 2008, built on ojingeo-hoe (live squid sashimi) priced well below typical hoe-jip rates. The menu stretches into mulhoe, blanched squid, fried squid legs, and a closing pan of mixed rice, and weekend waits regularly run 40 minutes to over an hour. Featured on Kim Three Meals (김사원세끼).
