◎ Travel information to meet Hallyu’s charm
This restaurant is famous for being the hangout spot of the “Parasite” movie crew. One wall is adorned with autographs from the actors and directors. The restaurant’s signature dish of deliciously spicy and sweet galbi helped solidify its fame. For the perfect combination, we recommend pairing galbi dishes with refreshing cold buckwheat noodles.
