About

Thai mookata with a domed grill, simmering broth and a self-serve bar for meat, seafood, vegetables and sauces.

The defining feature here is the mookata grill: a domed hot plate in the middle, with broth running around its rim. You cook meat and seafood on the raised centre while vegetables simmer at the edges, then help yourself to more ingredients and sauces at the central buffet. The broth is mild on its own, so use the sauces; this is a hands-on meal, and the grill leaves its smell on your clothes. For a bowl rather than a long grill session, 랭쌥쌀국수 (lang saep rice noodles, ₩13,000) is the signature noodle order. Visitors describe a generous serving with tender meat and a rich broth. Tom yum rice noodles (똠얌쌀국수, ₩12,000) are a gentler take than the name suggests: reviewers find the broth rich, with a peanut-like depth, but not especially sour or spicy. Shrimp fried rice (카오팟, ₩15,000) is another substantial option, reported to be around one and a half servings. The restaurant is downstairs, with Thai music and a spacious dining room around the ingredient bar. It is open around the clock, every day, which makes it useful for a late meal as well as a group dinner; reviewers note that late at night the single-dish menu may be limited. For mookata, expect to cook and refill things yourself. There is no parking, and you may need patience if communication is difficult: some visitors report that staff speak limited Korean, though the menu board helps. Go with friends or family if you want a meal that takes time and involves everyone at the table. The Thai-local feel is part of the appeal, but standards can be uneven: some visitors mention sticky tables or smells lingering from the grill. If you want a quick, quiet meal, order a noodle dish instead of settling in for the barbecue.
