A well-known Seongsan spot that fills up fast in high season — locals often arrive early to get a numbered ticket and wait. Its standout dish is galchi jorim: fresh, plump cutlassfish braised in a savory, slightly spicy sauce. The generously portioned, well-seasoned galchi here is noted for being more affordable than similar places nearby.
