(24 reviews)Housed in an old family home, the restaurant feels like stepping into a grandmother's kitchen. The signature dish is ongshimi — a thick, comforting broth with hand-cut noodles and chewy potato ongshimi — and the sweet-savory Gamja (potato rice cake with red bean) is also popular. Note that they sometimes close unexpectedly, so it's wise to call ahead before you visit.
