Why here
A 1986-permitted, old-school Seongnae-dong shop specializing in cod cheek (ppolddegi) dishes — spicy or clear cod cheek stew, steamed cod cheek, and cod cheek hot pot. Solo diners are well accommodated, with a single-serving stew as the standard order; it's a longtime local spot mostly filled with neighborhood regulars, generally walk-in with only a brief wait around the lunch peak. Featured on Kim Three Meals (김사원세끼).
