Restaurant review — Japchae that actually delivered

I'm sceptical of any restaurant claiming to do Japchae well, having been disappointed often enough. This one delivered. The sweet, spicy, and savoury at once base was authentic and the use of doenjang fermented soy showed real knowledge.

the communal banchan side dishes are as important as the main. The atmosphere was genuinely a Korean barbecue restaurant with table grills, which the food matched. makgeolli rice wine came with the meal as it should. The portions were generous and the price was fair. A reliable place for this dish.
