Why here
Yennal Gamjajeon is a Namyeong-dong drinking house licensed since 1979, and the potato pancake it is named after — ₩16,000, or ₩18,000 buried under cheese — is what fills the room every night. The rest of the board is built for the same purpose: squid-and-kimchi pancake, seafood pajeon, tofu with kimchi, a spicy sujebi to close. Sung Si-kyung's Muktende covered it in 2024.
