About

Japanese curry and katsu. Comfort food done perfectly.

Five minutes from Yongsan Station sits a seafood-bowl spot where the finish is almost better than the opening act. The signature Gorogo—a ₩20,000 kaisendon piled with chopped fatty tuna, octopus, squid, conch, salmon roe, and ikura—arrives looking Instagram-ready, but the real move comes when you've eaten three-quarters of your rice. Ask for the bone-broth ochazuke. Staff pour a savory, almost seolleongtang-like broth over what's left, turning a Japanese rice bowl into something that tastes like Saturday-morning hangover comfort food. Regulars know to pair it with the side of kkakdugi, which cuts through the richness with just enough funk. The room runs warm-toned wood and minimal lighting, open kitchen visible from most seats. Counter stools work for solo lunches; two-tops near the window handle dates without crowding. Peanut-shaped chopstick rests sit at every place setting—whimsical enough to photograph, stable enough not to roll away. The seafood display case near the entrance shows what's going into the bowls that day: clean cuts, no smell, high turnover. Highballs (Suntory, mostly) move fast here; the whisky sharpness resets your palate between bites of sea urchin and tuna belly. Rice refills are free if you run out before the toppings do, and the kitchen uses good-quality short-grain that doesn't clump. Book ahead on Naver for weekend lunch (11:30–14:00) or dinner (18:00–20:00)—walk-in waits can stretch to forty minutes. The restaurant takes cards only, no cash. QR-code ordering at the table; staff are quick during off-peak hours, stretched thin at prime time. Monday through Friday there's a break from 15:30 to 17:00, so plan around it.

Local tips

  • Reserve via Naver or CatchTable on weekends—lunch and dinner service fills up quickly, especially Sat-Sun.
  • Order 'Gorogo' (₩20,000) as your first visit—it's the signature kaisendon and best value for sampling quality.
  • Request bone broth ochazuke (육수 오차즈케) when you've eaten ¾ of your rice—it transforms the bowl into a hearty broth-rice finish, Korean-comfort-food style.
  • No parking on-site; use nearby paid lots (Chungsin Church Lot: ₩1,000/hour on weekends, ~3 min walk).
  • QR ordering system—scan code at your table; staff are attentive but lunch peak (11:30-13:00) and dinner peak (18:00-20:00) require patience.
