Suzurantei Main — Restaurant in Seoul

God how I love this place. Its like finding a hidden gem food spot in the middle of the city. Its underground and seems hidden but its like a local favourite.

The staff are kind and eager to help you.

The restaurant is quite small like a local Japanese restaurant, but the...

It all comes with white rice, vegetables, seaweed, and chawanmushi. The sauces are very tasty. The restaurant is not fancy but has the look of a typical Japanese izakaya, the staff is very friendly and polite and speaks little English (but you can understand each other). Super recommended, the quality was...
