Why here
A neighborhood grill house near Bongcheon Station that has run for over 30 years on its Jeolla-style banchan spread — ten-plus rotating side dishes surrounding grilled pork belly, pork jowl, and ssambap set meals. It's a no-reservation, walk-in room: locals treat it as a go-to for home-style volume rather than polish. Featured on Kim Three Meals (김사원세끼).
