Compiled from 4 blog posts read in fullSources →
A budae-jjigae (army base stew) place in a side street behind exit 9 of Hongik Univ. station. Posts give 24,000 won for the stew for two, 46,000 won for the stir-fry set and 42,000 won for the stew set; rice and ramen come from a self-serve corner. We read 5 posts from July 1 to September 17, 2026, 4 of them actual visits. The four read like a promotional batch covering meal kits, delivery and a review event in the same order: one disclosed sponsorship, one listed the food as provided by the shop, two said nothing.

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
- All four visitors said rice and ramen noodles are unlimited from a self-serve corner that also holds laver flakes and side dishes; one noted everything there was kept covered.
- All four said portions are large: one ramen pack was plenty for two, and the intestine stir-fry was called an over-generous serving for two.
- All four said the room is large; one pair was seated at a four-top, and another post said groups and other diners sit in separate areas.
- Two posts mention a self-serve tea station for after the meal; another got a yogurt drink per person on the way out.

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 | 1 of 4 posts |
|---|
No one described the floor from experience; '1st floor' appears only in the address.
Nobody mentioned a step at the entrance or wheelchair or stroller access. We don't know either way.
Only one post says the toilet is inside; nobody mentioned whether it is gender-separated or how big 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.

Posts that followed a TV spot
Of the 5 posts we gathered, 1 went up on a single day right after a TV spot and show no sign of a visit. They retell the broadcast, so we left them out of the counts.
We do not discard them. That a TV spot produced a burst of posts is itself something worth knowing about a place, and a star rating will not show it.

What we do not know
- One post mentions a line, forming just after the writer sat down at an early weekend lunch; how long the wait runs we don't know.
- Two posts went with friends; the other two didn't say. One called it good for eating alone, but nobody actually went alone.
- Three posts list the hours as 24 hours every day, no holidays, but all copied this from the listing, and nobody went in the small hours.
- Three posts gave prices: stew for two 24,000 won (September), an extra portion 12,000 won (July), stir-fry set 46,000 won, stew set 42,000 won. A set for two works out to the low 20,000s per person; one post was given its food and listed no prices.
- Three posts list the same phone number, 0507-1380-2899. One post repeats that Naver booking is available, but nobody booked.
