This renowned restaurant in Gongju is always bustling. Upon passing through its old, time-honored main gate, one is greeted by a tastefully minimalist garden leading to the eatery itself. The restaurant boasts a carefully selected main menu, offering just three specialty dishes: charcoal-grilled spicy pork, grilled fish, and braised cutlassfish. Each meal is accompanied by an abundant array of ssam (wrap) vegetables and delicious side dishes, available for unlimited refills at the self-service bar.
