(10 reviews)

A third-generation 이북 (northern Korean) cuisine restaurant in Gunsan. Meals come with an array of homemade banchan — japchae, seasoned namul, hong-eo muchim (fermented skate), and pickles — and the house specialty is the jeongol: a wide metal-tray hotpot of beef, handmade dumplings, mushrooms, tofu and vegetables simmered with broth. The broth becomes clear and deeply savory as it cooks, and locals often finish the meal with a refreshing .

Local Tips

•House specialty: jaengban jeongol — a wide-tray hotpot of beef, handmade dumplings and vegetables simmered at the table
•Homey, multi-generation restaurant where meals arrive with flavorful banchan including fermented skate (hongeo)
•Good for groups — order the set for four or finish the hotpot with a bowl of naengmyeon to cleanse the palate
