Editor’s overview
Running for roughly four decades near the Gangnam/Sinnonhyeon office district, this specialist serves chueotang, a hearty mudfish soup considered a classic restorative dish across Korea. It's a good change of pace from Gangnam's newer restaurants, a genuine old-school lunch spot rather than a trend-driven one.
Menu and ordering
Order the ground chueotang (loach blended into the broth, easier for first-timers than the whole-fish version) with perilla powder and chives stirred in, and rice on the side.
Closed Sundays and busiest on weekday lunch hours with nearby office workers, so an early or late lunch on a weekday works best.
