“Nakji Deopbap, 1 Serving 10,000 KRW”

On this day, two of us visited during lunchtime and ordered two servings of Nakji Deopbap. Despite ordering only two servings, the portion of octopus was generous, allowing us to have a satisfying meal. The seasoning for the octopus was quite spicy, so we ended up ordering an extra bowl of rice to fully enjoy the flavors.

The taste was quite good, and the portion was ample, providing us with a hearty meal.
