Bindaetteok · mung-bean pancake
Order the nokdu bindaetteok (plain mung-bean pancake) with a bowl of makgeolli, and add the meat bindaetteok or meat mandu if you're sharing.
Expect a queue at lunch and dinner; seating is stools around an open griddle, so it suits solo diners or pairs better than a big group.
For allergies or dietary restrictions, ask the restaurant about ingredients and preparation before ordering.

Was introduced to this stall by my korean friend. He said this is one of the older orginal mungbean pancake store. We ordered the vegetable amd meat pancake. Very tasty indeed. Goes well with rice wine
