(15 reviews)
A straightforward local spot serving to-ryeom-style kongnamul gukbap — rice, bean sprouts, a raw egg, scallion and shredded gim placed in a hot earthenware bowl while hot broth is poured over and ladled out several times to build a comforting, clean soup. Crunchy kkakdugi (radish kimchi) and pickled chilies on the side sharpen the flavors and make each spoonful more refreshing.

Local Tips

  • To-ryeom method: hot broth is poured over rice and sprouts several times for deeper, lighter broth.
  • Open early — ideal for breakfast or a soothing hangover cure (5 AM–3 PM daily).
  • Served with crunchy kkakdugi and pickled chilies; free parking on site.
