Why here
A single-dish pork gomtang specialist built around one clean, milky pork-bone broth, served in regular and large portions alongside kimchi mandu. The Michelin Guide Seoul Bib Gourmand pick draws waits that regularly stretch to multiple hours, managed through a CatchTable digital queue rather than walk-in seating. Featured on Jaeschelin Guide ahead of the chef's appearance on Netflix's Culinary Class Wars season 2.
