Description

The menu draws from a grandmother’s 40-year history running a restaurant in Suwon, South Korea. A key detail of the signature seolleongtang is that it is served traditionally bland, leaving diners to season the broth with salt at the table. Beyond the soup, the kitchen prepares classic comfort dishes like pork belly bossam, seafood pancakes, and bibimbap. The dining room functions as a neighborhood fixture, attracting local residents and long-term regulars who highlight over fifteen years of consistent cooking.
