Craving authentic Korean flavors and a cozy, old-world vibe? Look no further than 옛날누룩막걸리체인본점 (Yeannal Nuruk Makgeolli Chain Main Branch) at 서울 중랑구 봉우재로 57! Forget sterile chain restaurants; this place feels like stepping into grandma's kitchen – if grandma brewed legendary makgeolli. The aroma of fermenting rice hits you the moment you walk in, a promise of the deliciousness to come. We sampled several varieties of makgeolli, each with its own unique character – from the subtly sweet to the refreshingly tart. Pair your drink with their incredibly flavorful kimchi pancakes or the melt-in-your-mouth bossam (boiled pork belly). The ingredients are fresh, the portions are generous, and the atmosphere is buzzing with happy chatter. It's the perfect spot for a casual night out with friends or a cozy date. Seriously, ditch the soju for a night and experience the true taste of Korea. You won't regret it!
