Yoojung Sikdang used to be a traditional floor-seating restaurant but those days are long gone. I miss the floor seats but getting rid of them increased their business even more which I couldn't believe(since they've always been so busy already!).
The food has barely increased in price over the years, most likely because being the aunties that fed starving-artist-era BTS brings in a constant stream of business.

Probably the eatery got famous thanks to BTS, but doesn’t mean you need to be arrogant. One of the lady gave us some attitude when being asked to refill a side dish (first and only refill anyway).
