Korea time, from recent reviews. Hours may differ on holidays.

Birthplace of nakgopsae, Busan's fiery one-pot of small octopus (nakji), beef intestines (gopchang) and shrimp (sae) in a red sauce. It simmers at the table, then goes over rice. The brand now has dozens of branches, but this is the original, near Gukje Market. Mild-spice eaters should ask for less heat.
