A modern Korean dining bar in the basement of the NH Foundation building on Gukjegeumyung-ro 8-gil, Yeouido. Posts introduce it as the restaurant of chef Lee Seung-jun from the Netflix show Culinary Class Wars — that is the house's own billing, repeated. The most-ordered dishes were the pollock-roe potato pancake (19,500 won, eaten in 4 posts), the chef's beef tartare (39,000 won, 3 posts) and chorizo kimchi fried rice (22,000 won, 3 posts); the braised short rib was 55,000 won. We read 30 posts dated 5 September to 14 October 2026; 8 are about this restaurant and all 8 describe a visit. The other 22 matched only on lookalike text such as 'Yeouido' or a different 'Ido' restaurant and were set aside.

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
- Three posts mention bar seats facing the open kitchen, where you can watch the cooks work. One post adds that there are private rooms for four to eight people.
- Two posts say the low lighting and calm room make conversation easy, and several pitch it for dates. One noticed many tables that looked like blind dates.
- One post says a drink order is required at dinner; the writer, who barely drinks, chose an alcohol-free whisky highball at 9,000 won. No other post mentions the rule.
- Two posts call it on the expensive side. One paid 95,500 won for the tartare, the sea-urchin risotto and the noodles; another said that apart from the potato pancake nothing felt worth the price a second time.

- Only one post mentions waiting: a walk-in on a Sunday evening found no queue. Another booked ahead. Nobody says whether weekday lunch or Friday night gets busy.

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
| In a basement | 1 of 7 posts |
|---|
One post notes it is in the building's basement and takes a little finding the first time. Nobody says whether you reach it by stairs or escalator.
It is a basement unit, but no post mentions a lift, a step at the door, or getting in with a wheelchair or pushchair. That is not a sign it is easy — we simply don't know.
No post says whether the toilet is inside the restaurant or whether it is split by gender. We don't know.
No one mentioned: Second floor · 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
- 'Yeouido Station exit 5' and 'walkable from the station' appear only in copied info blocks; no post describes actually walking there or how long it took.
- Opening hours appear in four posts, all copied from listings. Two say 11:00–22:00; two say 11:00–23:00 on weekdays, and they disagree on the weekend close (22:00 vs 23:00). All four give a 15:00–17:00 break. No post names a closing day.
- No post gives a per-person total. Three posts list menu prices from 9,500 won (brownie) to 55,000 won (short rib); nobody gives the price of the lunch sets.
- Two posts give different phone numbers (070-8211-3573 and 0507-1349-3573). One post booked ahead but didn't say how.
