Why here
A Hagye-dong mul-hoe (raw fish in chilled spicy broth) restaurant that an elderly couple has run since 1993, best known for a menu that regulars say has barely moved in price for years. Alongside its signature cold raw-fish soup, it serves daegu-tang and gomchi-tang, and draws a steady crowd of neighborhood regulars, especially in summer. Featured on Kim Three Meals (김사원세끼).
