Located on the 4th floor of a building in Myeongdong 8-gil, this seafood restaurant is open 365 days a year starting from 7 AM. Acclaimed for showing live abalone and octopus before cooking, along with chewy raw abalone porridge and rice-thief soy sauce-marinated crab, it is a recommended breakfast spot in Myeongdong backed even by local guides.

I went there yesterday for lunch, it was the best porridge I have ever had. The staffs are very nice and speak multiple languages. They also show you the fresh abalone that they serve you later on! 10/10, I think I will go there again later tonight cause it is worth the visit and it is such a good price for their fresh food!
View on GoogleThe atmosphere and staff are very nice. Food is tasty and the abalone is very fresh. Had an enjoyable brunch experience with my travel buddies.
View on GoogleQuality traditional Korean food, great service and seating, highly recommend!!! It’s located in the quieter area in Myeongdong, 5 mins away from the crowded area. Their signature is abalone porridge, but we tried the Ginseng chicken porridge and prawn porridge, it was the best Korean porridge we’ve ever had! It was very creamy and soft. They also have seafood/ kimchi pancakes and different korean stew on the menu. Plus the sides are also very tasty!
View on GoogleThis abalone porridge place in Myeongdong is perfect for a comforting meal. The abalone is fresh, finely chopped, and has a natural sweetness with no fishy taste. The porridge is smooth, rich, and well-cooked, making it very easy to enjoy. The flavor is light yet satisfying, and it feels gentle on the stomach. The restaurant is clean, service is quick and friendly, and it’s very welcoming to travelers. I would definitely come back again.
