Menbosha, shrimp toast with a thick shrimp filling between slices of bread, has been on the menu since opening, though some days it comes out fried almost to burning. The stir-fried snow crab is rich and soft, and a little extra chili oil on top suits it. Qingzheng rockfish, steamed and heaped with herbs and soy sauce, sits on the regular menu. Fried rice and white jjamppong are the only rice and noodle dishes, and with the fried rice running salty and oily, tables build meals from shared plates. Dinner runs in two booked seatings, and the Seogyo-dong house is about 400 m from Hapjeong Station, with room for only four or five cars out front. A paid membership takes 20 percent off dishes for life.
