Ginu ChungNovember 16, 2015저녁 8시에 한국무용과 전통악기 공연. 손님들까지 불러모아 악기를 쳐보게 한다. 외국인 관광객들이 와보면 좋을 곳. 서울 투어 가이드 같은 데 나오면 좋을텐데.UpvoteDownvote

"Their jeongsik multi-course banquet includes a lot of fresh seasonal vegetables. Maybe not entirely traditional but a real treat. Unless you're a very big eater, I would go for the smallest menu."
