What customers say?

“ Happened to be nearby and was craving ginseng chicken, so Google led me here. Service-wise, the staff weren’t the friendliest I’ve met in Korea, but it might just be the style of the place. Food: • Ginseng chicken soup was pretty decent and comforting. • Also tried the fried chicken — it was okay. Overall, the food is decent. Worth a try if you’re in the area and craving for Ginseng Chicken ”

“ The ginseng chicken soup was nice. Service was prompt. Staff were not conversant in English but just point to what you want and you will be served. The restaurant used to be Michelin awarded too. ”

“ We are group of 4 people, but probably it was early morning that didn’t have any customer yet, so they allowed us to order 2 pots only. We ordered the most expensive one and the black garlic one. The most expensive one tasted better than black garlic. What surprised us was the fried ginseng. The portion is just enough for us. If we need to order one pot per person then we probably can’t finish it. I wouldn’t say it’s super delicious but this dish is a must try in Korea. It’s average. ”
