Location
The thing I’d repeat here is the noodle choice: jjolmyeon instead of ramen. The chewy noodles held their bite in the lighter broth.
Ordering
The photographed menu lists budae jjigae at ₩12,000 per person, with a two-portion minimum. Ask for 쫄면사리 if you want the noodles I tried, listed at ₩1,000 extra on that menu. Rice was also separate at ₩1,000.
I liked the broth because it wasn’t overwhelmingly heavy. If you want an especially rich or fiery stew, this may feel restrained.
The small space matters
The restaurant is inside a shopping arcade near Gwacheon Station. The ground floor felt tight; the stairs upstairs were narrow and steep, with floor seating above.
Ask about seating before visiting with someone who finds stairs or sitting on the floor difficult. I’d go with a small group and leave time around the lunch rush.
