Counted from what bloggers wrote in their posts; we did not confirm it with the restaurant. Where the values differ, it may be a change over time rather than a disagreement, so we show when each one was written.
What sets it apart
- There is floor seating: three posts mentioned it, one sitting at a floor table by the window looking out through the glass. Regular tables are also available.
- There is a separate annex away from the main hall, mentioned by three posts; one saw a group dining there on the day of the visit.
- Two posts said portions are large; the one that had the course for two said it could have fed three. Two posts also said prices were reasonable.
- Ordering is self-service, per two posts — one described a kiosk, the other a tablet at each table.

Two posts said in their own words there is no on-site parking, one suggesting the paid lot at Hansung Art Hall nearby. A copied info block in another post says the building has parking, which conflicts.

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
2 posts say it is walkable from the station.
Getting inside
| Toilet inside | yes 0 · no 1 (of 4 posts read) |
|---|
No post described the floor level or stairs from experience; only the address says ground floor. We don't know.
No one mentioned a step at the entrance or wheelchair or stroller access; one post only said you walk in along a stone path. That means unknown, not absent.
One post said the restroom is outside the dining rooms, with its own air conditioner and hair ties, floss and sanitary products laid out. No other post mentioned where it is.
No one mentioned: Second floor · In a basement · Lift to the floor · Ramp at the door · Step at the entrance · Step-free access · 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 had to wait. One that arrived around 5:20 pm said the place filled up and a queue began forming about 15 minutes later. Another said Naver booking is available.
- Two posts said it is a walk from Exit 4 of Hyehwa Station — one said 2 minutes, the other 4. No one described a bus route.
- The only posts that said who they came with were two date visits; none came with friends, family or alone.
- Three posts give the same hours — weekdays 17:00-00:30, weekends 12:00-00:30, closed Mondays — but all three copied them from a listing rather than checking.
- Prices come from only two August 2026 posts; one paid 108,600 won for a course for two with two highballs, and no one gave a price for the hot pot.
- The phone number (0507-1477-7225) appears in one copied listing only; two posts said reservations go through Naver booking.
- One post disclosed sponsorship and another follows the same promotional template, repeatedly pitching the annex for events. None of the four said they paid their own way.
