Famous with its noodle and dumpling, this restaurant only have 4 menus which are noodle soup, spicy noodle, dumpling, and the soy bean noodle which was not available when I was there. So we did order the other three, and yes, they all tasted delightful. Very rich in taste and flavorful.

I am well aware of its fame and to avoid the crown, we came early before the dinner time and there was no queue. Not long after we got a table, people started to come and when I finished the restaurant was full already. The serving time was quick and the price was considered friendly.

Is this place worth trying? Certainly! Especially when you are in Myeongdong area and it is your first visit. But, I believe there are lots of other good places which serves noodles and dumpling.

Food was delicious, the menu is very limited, but the food was excellent. the soup was so flavorful and heartwarming, and had great depth, the noodles were bouncy and soft. I personally really enjoyed the dumplings, but that may just be due to a lifelong love for dumplings anyway. They were so juicy and I loved the thin skin, flavourful filling, and the sesame oil sauce that went with it, made it so fragrant and added a whole extra layer of flavor. The cold green noodles with lots of kimchi was also really lovely, refreshing but still  hearty meal. The service was super quick and efficient and we were in and out of there within a half hour.

The exact location of this location is NOT here. It has moved to the Main Street along L7 and Sejong hotels.

It’s considered as fast food. Pay before you get your food, it’s sent to you within 2-3 min. Sometimes by the waitress or by the robot.

The noodle is cooked just fine, not too soggy even if they pre cooked many bowls. The dumplings are so juicy! I wish I had the stomach for two sets. I will be back again.

Nice dumplings, but the service and environment could be better.

As a tourist, manage your expectations, you will expect crammed eating spaces and whipped into your table and out just as fast as you can say "myeongdong" 🤣 of course I say that with humor.

Fast dining and comfort food seekers may enjoy this place. It only serves 3 items on the menu so food comes fast. Not much a fan as food here lacks flavor in my opinion.

May not visit again. My jackets were too big for the small table and chairs be seated comfortably here. Kept bumping into people seated behind me.

It's a Michelin awarded restaurant, the food is just exceptional. There are only four dishes on the menu. Simple food packed with notable flavours. The place gets busy but service is efficient and quick. There's an ordering machine downstairs. You order, pay and get different coloured tickets for each food. The staff directs you to your seat, the order arrives in less than 5 minutes. Unlimited kimchi for sides. A special must when in Seoul.
