The hearty ginseng soup was nice and comforting, though not extremely flavourful. The ginseng piece in the chicken was surprisingly large compared to the skinny pieces I usually get back home, which was a pleasant touch. While the soup is a bit pricey, it’s very satisfying and definitely worth trying if you enjoy traditional ginseng chicken. Overall, it was a good experience, offering a warming and hearty meal that feels authentic and nourishing, perfect for those looking to try a classic, comforting Korean dish.

Delicious Korean ginseng chicken! This pls e is very touristy, but I did see a few locals. They have a menu that teaches you how to use the condiments and explains the dishes. This is helpful. The place is decorated with traditional furniture and architecture, resembling a museum. The food quality is good, though the service has much to be improved. They are quite rude. Neutral in my recommendation.
