Geumsan Jemyunso — Restaurant in Seoul

Please note that I’m writing this review focusing on the late night version of the place.

This place is a noodle restaurant until 8 pm, but is another bar restaurant from 8 pm until midnight (they sometimes stay open until 1 am).

I don’t speak Korean, so I asked the master for recommendations. He asked me about my preferences and suggested the pairing of red bean paste spring rolls (Picture 2) and highball with Chinese baijiu (Pictures 1-3), which according to the master, very popular in Korea these days.
