Fire-Grilled 'Han Soban Jjukkumi'
On a Sunday afternoon, I visited 'Han Soban Jjukkumi' with my husband and son. It's located in Seongnam near Daewang Reservoir, close to Cheonggyesan Mountain.
Known for its scenic views and generous portions, this jukkumi (stir-fried octopus) restaurant in Seongnam is a great place to enjoy both a drive and a meal.

I've often visited with friends, but I hadn't been there with my family, so we left home for a late lunch.
Fortunately, the traffic wasn't bad, and we arrived within 20 minutes. However, from the entrance, there was a waiting line of cars trying to get into the parking lot... wow~
After parking, we took a number and waited 40 minutes for our turn... ㅜㅜ

■ Restaurant with a Great View by Daewang Reservoir
Calling this restaurant a Daewang Reservoir 맛집 is accurate.
If you sit by the window, you can see the reservoir and the ridgeline of Cheonggyesan Mountain at a glance.
The restaurant has its own parking lot, which is convenient, but it's become a popular spot in Seongnam, so there's often a wait for lunch on weekends.
※ Be sure to check the break time, even on weekends!

When your number is called, you'll be guided to a table in the main building or the annex.
