The flagship store of the Hyundaeok franchise in Jeonju — run as a model for all its branches, they say, so consistency matters: recipe, service and atmosphere are all carefully managed. After more than a decade here the place has built a steady local following and draws tourists too. Hyundaeok proudly positions itself well ahead of other kongnamul gukbap shops in Jeonju and emphasizes continual effort rather than complacency.
