About
Pumpkin and abalone porridges, bibimbap and stews in a bright neighborhood room with sofa seating.
The best reason to come is a bowl of danhobak-juk (단호박죽), the pumpkin porridge a local blogger describes as smooth, naturally sweet and not sugary, with chewy glutinous-rice dumplings. It sounds closer to pumpkin soup than plain rice porridge, and makes a filling, gentle meal. Patjuk (팥죽), red-bean porridge, is another option; it is made to order, and you can ask for the less-sweet version. The room is bright and modest in size, with backed chairs and sofa seating, and tends to be quiet in the afternoon. The menu also ranges across the chain’s better-known porridges, bibimbap and stews. Jeonbok-juk (전복죽), abalone porridge, costs ₩13,000 and is thick and substantial, with the rice texture clearly present. One visitor found little abalone in the bowl and little of its flavor, so it is not the safest pick if the seafood is your main reason for ordering. For a plainer, lower-cost bowl, seven-vegetable porridge is ₩10,000; the catalog also lists seafood and beef-and-vegetable versions. This is a local, practical stop for a quiet meal, family lunch or takeaway rather than a destination restaurant. It opens 10:00–21:00 Monday through Saturday and closes Sunday. You can order by phone, but pickup timing is unreliable: porridge may take about 15 minutes, while one reported takeaway wait stretched to 45. Containers can be divided into two or three portions at no extra charge, and brown rice or oat-barley rice swaps are reported as available. Delivery is also offered. There is no evidence of an English menu, and reports of service are mixed, so keep the order simple if language is a concern.
