Compiled from 1 blog posts read in fullSources →
A jeon (savory pancake) house on Muhak-ro in Yongdu-dong, Dongdaemun-gu. The post describes a 9,000-won jeyuk (spicy pork) lunch set by day, and pancakes such as potato (14,000 won) and seafood scallion with makgeolli by evening. We read only one post, dated 9 September 2026, in which a party of four had the seafood pancake and gochujang stew set (33,000 won) plus jeyuk.

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 | yes 0 · no 1 (of 1 posts read) |
|---|
One post says the shop is at street level on the first floor; with a single post we could not confirm it further.
We don't know whether there is a step at the entrance or whether a wheelchair or stroller can get in. Nobody wrote about it, which is not the same as saying there isn't one.
We don't know whether the restroom is inside or separated by gender; the one post left its restroom-location field blank.
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
- We don't know about waits. The one post only says there were a fair number of people, with no mention of a line or wait time.
- The only account of company is one party of four; we don't know how it suits solo diners or couples.
- Opening hours come from a single post: 11 a.m. to midnight, last order 10:30 p.m., closed Sundays. We could not cross-check them.
- Prices come from three items in one September 2026 post; beyond that party of four, we don't know what a typical meal costs. The post does call the lunch set very cheap.
- Nobody gave a phone number or said whether reservations are taken.
