I come here with my girlfriend every time, and it seems like it's been about 4 years since I first came here. I'm so happy that the taste always makes me happy and the friendly owner welcomes me every time I come. When the two of us want to eat delicious food, we often think of Akeru😋 May you prosper.

I enjoy drinking alone while eating delicious food on a regular basis, so this place was the perfect fit :) It's good to try a variety of snacks, and I think it's worth running with pride in beer and snacks. They even provide guidance on the high-quality ingredients of the day, so it's worth ordering with confidence. There's a reason why experts recommend it. I think I'll think of it often when I want to enjoy delicious food without regrets. It was a good meal~

I came here on the recommendation of my boyfriend, and it is the best draft beer restaurant in Gangdong-gu!!!!!! I'm a beer drinker who drinks more than 1500 cc of beer (haha), but when I come here, I think I should just drink a light beer, so I order more than 5 glasses and drink it. Haha. If two people spend more on the drinks than the snacks... I'm done... And!! I really like raw mackerel and sushi!! After living in Busan, I was assigned to Suwon and came all the way to Gangdong-gu to eat Mackerel Bong Sushi! Jjinjjinjjin restaurant!! There are delicious snacks, so I drink 2x, 3x, 4x the amount of alcohol... Boss... Stop it. It's delicious... I'm wasting my salary here... From now on, you can drink too much with the combination of yellowtail and shrimp. The one who comes quickly is the winner.

I heard a rumor in the neighborhood that I like Japanese beer, so an acquaintance recommended it, so I came alone from a different town on the subway. The staff was friendly and I liked it because they firmly guided me to drink the best beer. In Korea, beer is tasteless and beer is not foamy, but they kept telling me how to drink it deliciously, which made me feel relieved~~ ha The beer foam is thick and shiny, and I enjoy it with my eyes. But not only the beer is great, but the snacks are also amazing. The uni sushi is better than any other raw fish restaurant, and it's similar to croquette, so I didn't have high expectations for the katsu I ordered, but the batter on the outside is thin but perfectly crispy, the meat is soft on the inside, and the sauce is super delicious~~ You don't have to go to Japan haha. There are quite a few places that serve good Korean beer these days, but this is by far the best~! If you don't take care of it, it leaves a slightly sour taste at the end, but there's nothing like that here, and it's a complete pass. I like that you're so kind~!

I ordered the beer because I felt very proud of it, and the foam was thick and delicious. However, the disappointing thing is that the server was very proud of the restaurant, but when I tried to order a highball from a friend who said he couldn't drink, he said that the beer was delicious. In the end, I was embarrassed to tell the friend who ordered the highball because he wasn't good at drinking that he shouldn't drink the beer that another friend ordered because he didn't like sharing beer. How to eat it is up to us. Isn't it... there was an order missing, and he left without even apologizing... the table next to us was complaining about something similar to us... ㅠㅠ My friend recommended it to me, so I went there with high expectations, but it was disappointing in many ways.

I visited a second time because the food was delicious, but the service here did not provide a good experience. The shortcomings are 1. They don't admit their mistakes - As seen in other reviews, they don't always apologize even if they make a mistake. It appears to be the store's management policy. I clearly saw that the food hadn't been cooked for 10 minutes, but when I asked about it, they said, "It's cooking right now, but I saw it starting in a hurry." The order of ordering drinks was also different. 2. Continued recommendation of Premium Malts - I know that Premium Malts is delicious, but I recommend it from the time you enter to the time you leave. Of course, I know that Malt's is delicious and soft, but the recommendations are too strong. That's why I think it's the number one Malt's store in sales. 3. Explanation on eating style - There is no country like Japan where people eat freely without saying how to eat, but here, they tend to give a lot of recommendations on the order of eating.

This is a truly flawless restaurant, from the menu description to the taste. The beer tastes like nothing you can taste in Korea, and the snacks are also the best. It's a legendary restaurant that you can't go to just once.

Beer is pricey, but worth the price. Snacks are good value for money. Bon sushi, Neapolitan, soba, hamburger, and oysters… .. I couldn't try the new menu because I was full, but I regret that I just ate it all. I usually go to famous restaurants without expecting friendliness, but it's even funnier because the employees here work hard and the nice owner seems to have achieved the full marks of job satisfaction and craftsmanship.

The food was delicious. They take pride in their food and the way they explain it is also good. But I think you are overly sensitive when it comes to beer. It was delicious to my taste, and the expression made it feel like I had been to Japan. I couldn't get beer like this in Japan. I felt uncomfortable when he told me not to say nonsense. I understand that the bosses are trying to run the business cheerfully and proudly, but I feel uncomfortable with their coercion and tone of voice. An acquaintance of mine said that he went somewhere for a while after ordering a beer, but he got annoyed and took the beer without permission and threw it away. If you are going, please take note.

I visited with my boyfriend. The mackerel bong sushi and flatfish sushi were crazy. From the draft beer to the recommended sake, it was truly amazing. The response was very friendly and I had a happy time.🍶🍺🍻
