While you wait, the fish order goes in at the counter, so the plate reaches the table almost as soon as you sit. Kiln-roasted mackerel comes out with crisp skin and moist, oily flesh, while hairtail is thick and white with fine bones to pick out. Rice, soup, japchae and side dishes such as seasoned deodeok root, chonggak kimchi and pickled chilies are unlimited from the self-service bar. Even weekdays bring long waits, eased by an indoor waiting room and a side-dish shop next door.
