Something to say first: the posts we read run from December 2018 to November 2021, and in the four years since, nobody has written about this place at all. We looked through 238 candidate posts across Naver and Daum and found nine. Whether it is still open, we do not know — read what follows as a record that ends in 2021. It was a small steak house on Wangsimni-ro 8-gil, between Ttukseom and Seoul Forest stations. The steak came on one plate with fried rice, chips and grilled vegetables, served on iron so the rice crisped underneath; one writer records two people eating well for a little over twenty thousand won. What it was known for was steak in a cup, and a lunchbox — Seoul Forest is a short walk, and two writers report seeing people eat it on benches in the park. Drink was the other half of it, the walls dressed in beer bottles, and one post is titled after the best highball of her life. Five of the eight had been before, one of them four times.

The basics

What people order

The prices here are what bloggers wrote down in their posts, and they may have changed since. Check Naver Place for the current menu and prices. This list is not a menu board — it counts what bloggers actually ordered and ate. Check on Naver Place

• 스테이크 세트 — 한 접시에 스테이크·볶음밥·감자튀김·야채구이7 ate it
  the steak plate

  **It all comes on one plate**: steak with **fried rice, chips and grilled vegetables**, and depending on the set, **sausage and cheese sticks** too. Eight writers describe the same arrangement — one notes that two people ate well for a little over twenty thousand won. **It arrives on iron, so the rice crisps underneath.** **You choose the cut** — two posts name three of them, and a regular who usually orders one says she could not really tell the difference when she switched.

  **Not one writer records a price.** The figures we have are bundles — "twenty-something thousand for two", "a two-person set with a large bottle of Bernini" — **so we do not know what anything costs on its own.** **There is one sauce**, described as teriyaki-ish. One writer was startled by how small the plate looked and satisfied by how much was on it. One singles out the charred broccoli.

  cutlet, pasta and the drinks

  **There is pasta and a cutlet too** — steak breaded and fried, and a meat cream pasta with fondue cheese. **Drink is the other half of the place**: writers describe an owner who clearly loves it, walls dressed with beer bottles, and one comparing it to a world-beer bar. **One post is titled after its highball** — she says she did not care for highballs until she had this one.

  **Two writers found the four-page menu hard to choose from**, one defaulting to the steak set. One praises the draught beer. **No prices are recorded for any of it.**

• 테이크아웃 — 컵스테이크와 도시락 (서울숲 피크닉용)3 ate it
  the cup steak and the lunchbox

  **A steak you hold in one hand is what the place was known for** — one writer compares it to a cup of fried chicken and says it was already famous for it. **Seoul Forest being close, takeaway is half the point here**: three writers frame it as picnic food, one making a note to bring a mat once the weather cools. **Two report actually seeing people eat it on benches in the park.** **They will also pack the plate as a lunchbox** — meat, fried rice, chips, hash brown, fried fishcake and vegetables in one tray.

  **They delivered too**, via Baemin, as of February 2021. **Again, nobody records a price** — the writer who ate the lunchbox says outright that her boyfriend fetched it and she has no idea what it cost.

Who came, and with whom

Getting there

Naver Map has a full English mode — Settings → Language → English. In Korea it gives better walking and transit directions than Google Maps.

Getting inside

Nobody writes about wheelchair or pushchair access. None of the eight mentions a ramp or a step. The address is a ground floor, and writers describe a frontage that opened right up and an entrance that was all window, which suggests it was open to the street — but whether there was a step, we do not know. With four years of silence we have nobody to ask — check first that it is still trading.

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.

How to read these posts

• Posts saying nothing either way8 / 88 of 8 posts

Posts that followed a TV spot

Of the 9 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.

When the posts appeared

What we do not know

• The most important thing first: nobody has written about this restaurant since 3 November 2021. We went through 76 Naver candidates and 162 Daum ones and confirmed nine; the collection is exhausted. A Naver map entry still exists, but that alone is not enough for us to say it is open. Four years of silence means you should check before going. Almost no prices survive. Not one of the eight records a price by dish — only bundles: twenty-odd thousand for two, a two-person set, a set with a large bottle. The writer who ate the lunchbox says plainly that her boyfriend bought it and she has no idea what it cost. We did not fill the gaps with guesses, so the price column is empty. The opening hours rest on one person — daily, 11:30 to midnight, from an August 2019 post. Nobody records a break, a last order or a closing day. Seven years old, so not in the table. Writers disagree on the size. One calls the room fairly large (2019); another counts four or five tables and calls it small (2020); a third finds it snug and quiet (2018). Two of the three say small. One post may reconcile them: the front opens right up, so it never felt cramped despite not being big. You ordered at the kitchen counter — no table bell — and one writer notes you could pay before or after. At one point the owner was working alone: an October 2020 visitor notes the wait, and that there were two chairs outside to wait in. Nobody mentions parking. One post advises public transport because everything around the station is paid parking — but that line is about the museum that post is actually reviewing. Two writers note that both Ttukseom and Seoul Forest stations are close.
• Nobody reports queueing. Two accounts describe the opposite — a quiet weekday hour in a neighbourhood full of bars, and a snug room good for talking. One writer notes two chairs outside for waiting, so presumably people sometimes did, but nobody records having done so. One visitor, on a day the owner was working alone, notes the food took a while — cooking time rather than a line. Either way, this is all before the end of 2021.
• Nobody writes about floors or stairs. The address is the ground floor and the eight posts leave it there. What is recorded of the room: a bar counter along the wall, four or five tables, small ornaments and bottle displays, and an entrance that was all window. No post mentions an upstairs or a private room.
• Nobody mentions the toilets. None of the eight says whether they were in the restaurant or in the building. One writer counts four or five tables, so it may well have been the building's — but that is our inference, not a record. With no new posts in four years, there is nobody to ask.
