About
Sweet-spicy monkfish and crisp bean sprouts, plus octopus seafood jjim and clean-broth lunch soups.
Plump monkfish and crisp bean sprouts make the case for ordering agujjim (아구찜) here: the sauce runs sweet and spicy, with enough savoury depth to cling to the vegetables without always tasting too salty. Save some rice for the end; the sauce is good for mixing through it. The menu lists small, medium and large portions at ₩45,000, ₩60,000 and ₩75,000. For a group, the octopus seafood jjim (문어해물찜) is another draw, with a large octopus and a deep, savoury sauce. Visitors also praise the texture of the seafood, though reports on seasoning vary. At lunch, 생대구탕 (saeng-daegu-tang, fresh cod soup) comes with a clean, refreshing broth rather than a heavy one; it is listed at ₩15,000. The catalog also lists mixed seafood soup, pollock soup, spicy fish-roe soup and spicy baby-octopus set meals at lunch. Lunch sets are reported to come with rice cooked in a stone pot, but ask specifically for the lunch menu: some diners say it is not always offered readily, and it may not be available on weekends. There is no weekday break on Saturday or Sunday; Monday to Friday the kitchen closes from 15:00 to 16:30. The dining room is described as clean, comfortable and spacious, with tables that work for groups. It suits a family meal, an office gathering or a long dinner with friends; seafood jjim and soup are made for sharing rather than a quick solo stop. The restaurant is open 11:30–22:00 every day, and there is no parking, so plan to arrive on foot or by other transport. No booking or payment details are confirmed in the available information. Service reports are mixed: some diners find the owner friendly, while others describe staff as curt or rushed when busy. If you are set on a lunch dish, ask before settling in; and if you prefer a milder seasoning, check how the sauce is prepared that day.
