If you’re feeling hungry at Mangwon, Dong-il-ru is a must-visit. Famous for being featured on “Master of Living” (생활의 달인), this small yet powerful restaurant has been a local favorite for years.
Recommendation
Their signature ‘간짜장(Noodles in Thick Black Bean Sauce) ‘찹쌀탕수육’ (Crispy Sweet and Sour Pork) are legendary. The deep, rich flavors reflect the chef’s decades of expertise. It’s the kind of place where you can feel the warmth of a neighborhood classic while enjoying a top-tier meal.
Sweet and sour pork(탕수육)was crispy and the quality of the meat was really good.
The soup of ‘Hama jjamppong’ is thick and there’s a lot of seafood in it, so it’s refreshing
This place is small, so you can wait, but it was good enough to wait.
It’s a store that feels very friendly and feels like time has stopped.
