About
Crisp eggplant in smoky fish-fragrant sauce, soup-filled dumplings and crunchy egg-and-shrimp fried rice in a small room.
The 어향가지 (eggplant in fish-fragrant sauce) is the dish to build a meal around: crisp at the edges, soft and moist inside, under a glossy sauce with a smoky note. It leans sweet and savory, but some diners find it salty. The room is small and old-looking, with a view into the open kitchen; tables sit close enough that a full meal can feel crowded before the food arrives. Add 소룡보 (soup-filled dumplings) for a different texture: the thin skin holds a juicy broth, and the chili oil on the table gives each bite a sharper finish. Handle them carefully, since one account notes the skin can be too thin for the amount of broth. 계란새우볶음밥 (egg-and-shrimp fried rice) has crisp, toasted bits like nurungji, Korean scorched rice; it is best eaten hot, as it firms up when it cools. The catalog lists these at ₩13,000, ₩7,000 and ₩13,000 respectively. There is no booking information in the visitor accounts. At busy times, diners report waiting to be seated; one weekday-evening visit took about 15 minutes, while weekend waits can exceed an hour. Choose your dishes and tell the staff in advance. The restaurant opens Tuesday through Sunday from 12:00 to 21:40, with a 15:00–17:00 break, and is closed Mondays. There is no parking at the restaurant; paid lots are nearby. The sources found no English information, so having the Korean dish names ready may help with ordering. Come with a friend or two for a casual meal and order several dishes to share, but do not expect much elbow room. Service reports vary, and some diners describe the room as noisy and disorganized. Go for the eggplant and eat the fried rice while it is hot; the 동파육 (Dongpo pork) gets mixed reviews, so it is a less reliable choice.
