Had such a good meal here. They served kimchi jigae stew and was very hearty especially on a cold day.
The restaurant seemed to be run by an older couple and many locals were eating here. We were the only non locals here.

Very affordable meal with huge portions! Had the kimchi soup with spam, sausages and tofu. Comes with rice and banchan where you can mix and make your own bibimbap. Also ordered the egg roll, which is at least 5cm thick!
Wonderful meal at 14,000 KRW.
