This superb restaurant has been serving divine and healthy traditional Korean food over three floors since 1978; and even if it’s packed they’ll usually find you a seat, with unfazed courtesy. The (cold) spicy buckwheat noodles (₩10,000) are supreme. Chopsticks and cutlery are in the drawer under the table top. It's five shops north of the Calvin Klein shop on the corner.
