I tried the soon dae stew, and it was a generous portion, filling yet light on the palate. The place has a true family-run vibe which enhances the experience.

" I couldn’t have asked for a better meal at this small gem! The food was home cooked without all the greasy hassle. I tried the fish soup, and it felt very nourishing. Make sure to not skip the side dishes either—they're fantastic! A little crowded, but the warmth of the staff compensates for it! " (*Curated Review*)
