A family-run (spicy fish stew) restaurant operating since the early 1980s, located near Gobok Reservoir. Regulars and anglers crowd in for hearty, no-frills freshwater stews centered on catfish, freshwater crab, and shrimp. The signature (catfish) is rich and spicy, with domestic catfish lending deep umami to the broth; adding a plate of freshwater shrimp brightens the flavor. When you order they bring a portion of dough (hand-torn wheat pieces), so you can pinch pieces into the bubbling pot while you wait.
