Ginger Bear — Local services in Seoul

Went here because of Park Sungjjiniya episode, yes it was DAY6’s Sungjin who recommend this place

Since then I will trust whatever Sungjin’s recommendation except the one contains pork.

This cafe lives to its popularity, even among the local the cafe is massively popular. Their best dish is the signature classic meat pie. Alas, I didn’t order the complete set. It should have come with the sauce and the mashed potato. The meat is juicy and well seasoned along with crispy pie crust. Taste is exquisite and makes you crave more!

The next one I would recommend is the chicken mushroom meat pie. It is good although the chicken is a bit on the dry side. But well seasoned and everything is just good.

If you dine in, they will ask you to order drink as many as the people who visit. And as foreigner, you can’t do early reservation through app like the locals. You need to go to the front of house and have your name listed on the waiting list.

Waiting time takes about 40-2 hours, so be prepared if you come here on winter. Aside the queueing time, everything in this cafe is so worth it

P.S for my fellow moslem brother and sister, the meat is beef but I am not sure...

I did not enjoy my time here at all. The food was very expensive and small and tbh not very good. I heard this place is famous but I’m not sure what for? It was very loud and unpleasant the seats and tables are small and cramped together. They play the music very loudly which makes everyone speak louder to try and hear over the experience - in such a small space this makes it very overwhelming to try and sit and enjoy your food. I got one of their soups but I would recommend you stay away from them they put too much truffle oil to the point it overwhelmed the flavour and made us feel sick afterwards. It’s true it looks quite cute but I will not be going again...

This cafe opens at 12 pm but when I came here today, Wednesday, at 11.15am, there were 9 groups in front of me waiting in line. At aroung 11.30am they started to let us using the machine to get number. At exactly 12 pm, people slowly entered the cafe. The waiter didnt allow us to enter before some of the groups in front of us finish ordering. They did this to prevent confusion inside. I think they work hard to keep everything in order. The pies are delicious but expensive.. too expensive, everything is around 8000 won and up. The coffee is just so so. Too many people, can not take proper insta pic. Maybe u should come few months later when the popularity is...
