A Saemaeul Sikdang branch on the ground floor of 144 Eoulmadang-ro in Hongdae, a grill house built around yeoltan bulgogi and the '7-minute' kimchi stew. Of the five visit posts, four ordered the stew and three the bulgogi. We read 7 posts dated 28 July to 25 October 2026; 2 were about other businesses and set aside, leaving 5 visit records.

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
- The front opens up. One post described opening the terrace and eating as at a street stall; another said the full front windows were thrown open. A post seated by the window said the busking outside was so loud it felt like a front-row show, while another found the front noisy and cramped and moved to an inside table with backed chairs.
- Two posts noted many foreign customers; one night visit said most diners were foreigners. The same two posts saw Halloween decorations from late September into October.
- No post called it expensive; two described it as good value. Only one September 2026 post listed prices: soy bulgogi 14,000 won, brisket 20,000, kimchi stew 8,000, lunchbox 6,000, and the self-bar 1,000 per person.

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.
Getting inside
The address says ground floor, but none of the visit posts described the floor.
No one mentioned an entrance step or wheelchair or stroller access — that means unknown, not absent.
None of the visit posts said where the toilet is or whether it is separated by gender.
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
- Only one post addressed waiting: on a weekday evening there were plenty of free seats. Nobody wrote about weekends or late nights.
- Two posts gave the same hours — open 24 hours every day with breaks 10:00-11:00 and 14:30-16:00 — but both copied an info block rather than reporting what they saw. Nobody gave a last-order time.
- Prices come from a single September 2026 post; we do not know whether they have changed since.
- One post copied directions of a two-to-three-minute walk from Hongik University Station exits; no one described the walk itself.
- Two posts went with friends and one with a partner. No one went with family or children, so we cannot say how it suits kids.
- No post gave a phone number or said whether reservations are taken.
