I think this is the most delicious Korean food around Higashi-Ueno But! There are only 4 seats, so at lunchtime, if you don't get in on the first round, you have to give up There are all sorts of menu items, but the flavor is so much my taste that I could eat rice with just the miso The last day I went, it was omurice. (lol) You get to enjoy a variety of banchan too, so it feels like a good deal

2025.08 A Korean restaurant you can casually drop into. The interior is a cozy space with about 4 seats. The mama-san runs it single-handedly. Friendly service and a homey atmosphere. Went for lunch. [What we ordered] ・Lunch Sundubu jjigae ¥1,100 - 3 side dishes (chijimi, kimchi, stir-fried burdock) - Sundubu jjigae - Rice ・Mul naengmyeon ¥1,000 -3 side dishes (chijimi, kimchi, stir-fried burdock) The side dishes are standard Korean home cooking, and the taste struck me as neither good nor bad. The sundubu jjigae had a strong salt-and-pepper flavor and was quite salty. The seasoning will divide opinions. If the seasoning suits you, it seems handy for when you want a quick meal.

A Korean restaurant where you can kick back, like eating at your parents' home (sorry I forgot to take photos 💦) (there are only about 4 seats and the kitchen isn't big, so it's probably better to go alone) I wandered in and was looking at the menu when the lady asked me, "How about samgyetang?" I was torn between yukgaejang, sundubu, and samgyetang, so I said yes right away. I got the feeling she wanted me to try the recommended dish she'd already prepped~. Warm corn tea came out in a mug, and right away chijimi, dressed nanohana (rapeseed greens), and a small bowl of tofu appeared. At the counter with the TV on, chatting about nothing with the lady and nibbling away… it somehow felt like coming home to my parents' place, so heartwarming~. Then the main samgyetang & rice arrived! She carefully taught me how to eat it, and I dug in. …The savoriness of the chicken soaks right into your body, so delicious! It warms you right up~. Partway through, she added some wonderfully sour kimchi and Korean seaweed, and I couldn't stop eating rice. Picking at the side dishes one after another, I chatted a bit more with the lady while watching TV. I didn't have much time so I had to wolf it all down, but with this much food for a half samgyetang at 1200 yen, I'm super satisfied!

It was reasonably priced yet super delicious! The "mom" running the place was so cheerful and kind that I really enjoyed my meal! I want to keep coming back 🎶
