Popular with nearby residents and visiting tourists.

Local Tips

  • •About 20 banchan accompany each baekban — expect items like gejang (marinated crab), dakjangjorim (braised chicken), grilled fish, jeon, and various namul
  • •Open daily 10:30–21:00; tends to fill up at lunch, so arrive early on weekends or peak hours
  • •Must-try: gejang for a regional seafood touch and hongeo-muchim if you want an adventurous, pungent Gwangju flavor (try it with rice)
