Kkachisan Gimchi-jjigae
까치산 김치찌개 Kkachisan is the name of the nearby subway station and neighbourhood (literally 'magpie hill'), and gimchi-jjigae is kimchi stew — the name simply says 'the kimchi stew place at Kkachisan'.
Compiled from 2 blog posts read in fullSources →
A home-style Korean set-meal spot on a residential side street in Hwagok-dong near Kkachisan Station, built around kimchi stew with sides like spicy stir-fried pork, grilled bulgogi and rolled omelette. Side dishes and an after-meal drink come from a self-serve corner, and you order by scanning a QR code at the table. The one post that gave prices paid 19,000 won for pork kimchi stew with grilled mackerel and 10,000 won for grilled bulgogi. We read 2 posts, from June to September 2026, and both describe actually eating here. Neither says whether it was sponsored, and both read like promotional write-ups.

What sets it apart
- You order through a QR code on the table; both posts did. Side dishes come from a self-serve corner at the back — one post listed macaroni salad, seasoned broccoli, soy-braised eggs, cocktail sausages and sautéed zucchini.
- Both posts said portions were large: one laughed at how high the rice was heaped, the other noted the stew was generous with meat. Both called the prices reasonable, though only one wrote any prices down.
- One post gave walking directions: from Kkachisan Station exit 4, past the Subway sandwich shop and down the side street, about four to five minutes on foot, opposite Hwagok-dong church.
- One post saw ingredient-origin details posted at the entrance, plus a QR code showing how the kimchi is made. The claim that the cabbage is grown by the owners in Pyeongchang is the shop's own line, repeated by the blogger, so we don't count it.

Where it is
We could not find this shop’s own listing on Naver Map, so the link searches for its Korean name around this spot instead.
From the station
One post gave walking directions: from Kkachisan Station exit 4, past the Subway sandwich shop and down the side street, about four to five minutes on foot, opposite Hwagok-dong church.
Getting inside
No post describes which floor it is on from experience; only the address says ground floor.
We don't know whether there is a step at the entrance or whether a wheelchair or stroller can get in — not that it's impossible, just that nobody wrote about it.
We don't know where the toilet is or whether it is separated by gender; nobody mentioned it.
No one mentioned: Second floor · In a basement · Lift to the floor · Ramp at the door · Step at the entrance · Step-free access · Toilet inside · Accessible toilet · Separate restrooms. That is not the same as there being none — it means we could not confirm it. Worth calling ahead, and do tell us: we will put it here.

What we do not know
- No post actually waited. One blogger, who went outside mealtimes, guessed there might be a lunchtime queue; we don't know whether there is one.
- Only one post says who they went with (a friend). We can't say how it suits solo diners or families; the other post noted tables seating two to four.
- The two posts copied different opening hours: the June 2026 post says 10:00-22:00 daily (last order 21:30, no days off); the September post says 10:00-22:00 Monday to Saturday and 10:00-20:00 on Sunday. Both are copied listings, so we can't tell whether the Sunday hours changed.
- Only one post (June 2026) gave prices, and nobody wrote the price of the kimchi stew on its own, so the cost of a meal rests on that single post.
- Both posts list the phone number 0507-1327-3953, but neither says whether the shop takes reservations.
