I went for a lunch course to celebrate my birthday! It was 140,000 won per person, and all of the food was mild and luxurious without being overpowering! It was a taste that parents would really enjoy if they brought it with them! The staff were really friendly and the food came out right after we finished eating it! Thank you for making good food 🖤

I made a reservation at Catch Table and visited for lunch. They receive customers according to the time slot, so it is not crowded. First of all, they serve food from main to dessert in plenty of time, and check from time to time to see if each table needs anything. I also ate slowly, comfortably, and deliciously. All the staff were friendly and it was a high-quality meal.

I went there with my husband! It was a shame to only eat one or two dishes, so I tried a variety of dishes for dinner C course. Since I don't really enjoy seafood, I chose C because the dishes were laid out well enough for me to eat everything. Overall, the ingredients were fresh, so there was no unpleasant smell, and the order of cooking was very good, starting with clear dishes and gradually getting stronger. The service from the servers was neat and not too busy, so the atmosphere was better.

Chef Yeo Gyeong-rae's promotional angle Usually, after eating jjamppong from other places, a tingling sensation lingers in my mouth, but this place had a clean and refreshing taste, unlike other places. The cuttlefish was cooked to a fairly even level, so it melted gently. There were several types of mushrooms in the jjamppong, and the flavor was really... amazing. I've been here for the 3rd or 4th time already, and it's a legendary restaurant that gives me a new feeling every time I visit.

After watching many videos of Chef Kyeong-rye Yeo, I really wanted to go to Honghwagak. I stopped by Cheongdam-dong in preparation for my wedding, and visited the store around 12 o'clock on a weekday without making a reservation. Fortunately, there was a table available and I was guided to a seat right away! Our couple ate (Yuringi / Samseon Jjamppong / Jjamppong), and each person was given separate portions of the food! Completely contrary to the typical and spicy Chinese food, it has an overall umami flavor and is seasoned very well, so it goes down without a hitch. This is my first time eating Chinese food that is clean and not greasy. Even though we were given separate mixed rice/jjamppong, the seafood ingredients were very generous. Yuuringi mainly has a sour-sweet sauce, but it was very delicious!! They keep refilling the jasmine tea whenever it's empty, and they also give us 3 kinds of side dishes in abundance!

I made a reservation at a catch table at Hwanghwagak and visited. I ordered shrimp with a hat and Jjamppong, sweet and sour pork, and they were all delicious. The Jjamppong and shrimp with a hat were especially delicious. The staff were all friendly.

After visiting Chef Yeo Gyeong-rae's Honghwagak, I realized why I had to try Honghwagak's course menu. It was a truly wonderful time. I enjoyed the sight, the taste, and even the staff's service👍🏻👍🏻🔥😊

I visited because I was curious about Chef Yeo Kyeong-rae’s hat shrimp. I liked that water chestnuts were added so the texture was crunchy and not salty or greasy. The sweet and sour pork was bite-sized, so it was very easy to eat, and the jjamppong was good because it had plenty of shrimp. Overall, even though it is Chinese food, it is not salty and has a rich flavor, so you can feel the flavor. Great atmosphere for entertaining/family meals/friend gatherings!

3.9 Visited on a Saturday evening and had two special courses. Crab shark fin slightly fishy. But not bad. The Buddha Dojang was a total mess. It took good care of the body and the taste was crazy;;; Palbochae is also spicy and delicious. The texture of the cap shrimp is so plump.. it feels like your teeth are going to pop out haha. People who like shrimp will like it.. Personally, I don't like it because the taste of crab is too strong. Buyong crab meat was too fishy... My husband thought it was because he couldn't eat seafood, but even I, who eats fishy foods well, couldn't resist eating two bites, so I left it all... ㅠㅠ Braised ribs. It came out in the next order, so I thought I would buy it.. Maybe it was because it was two and a half pieces, but it was spicy and I ate it. I ordered Jjamppong and Jjajang for each meal, but the Jjamppong was very ordinary, and the Jjamppong was, of course, legendary. Plain. All the staff are friendly.

Chef Yeo Gyeong-rae finally visited!!! After trying several times to reserve a room at midnight 30 days before the desired visit date to secure a room for the weekend, I successfully made the reservation. I invited the whole family and had lunch (Course A) on Saturday. Recommended!!! My parents and older sister thought 100,000 won per person was too much, but everyone seemed to enjoy it. My son was also not in good condition due to a cold, but he cleared the course with great taste^^ (Restaurants are so expensive these days that my parents seem to have lost their sense of the world. If 100,000 won is limited to high-end restaurants, it's barely entry-level.) Crab meat/shark fin soup, Samseon nurungji stew, mango cream shrimp, red-juice dongpo meat, meal (jjamppong), and dessert. It's pure, but the portion is quite large, so you feel full after eating. Best Jjambbong (very small amount), worst Dongpo Pork ㅠㅠ
