Locals' pickSince 1989Blue RibbonBetter with a group ⓘ

A family-run Chinese restaurant in the Mugyo-dong/Da-dong office district, cooking since 1989. Office workers bring colleagues and parents here for mapo tofu, crisp sweet-and-sour pork, and the house favorite pari-meori bokkeum, stir-fried pork with garlic stems. A Korean-Chinese meal well away from the Myeongdong crowds.
