This is a Korean restaurant near Friendship Highway in Angeles that serves Naju-style gomtang and ssambap. It is close to the Royal golf course, and several reviews say many customers stop by for breakfast before heading out to play golf or for a hangover-curing soup the morning after drinking. According to a 2015 blog post, the owner built the restaurant building and garden himself, laying the bricks by hand, and a 2024 post also describes it as a place that has been in business for over ten years.
The path from the parking lot to the entrance looks plain, but once you step inside there is a well-kept garden and a spacious yard, and many reviews say it feels like a garden restaurant in the Korean countryside. Reviews across several years also mention that animals such as rabbits, ducks, and chickens are raised in the yard. Besides the main hall, there are separate room-style seats where a group can dine quietly. There is outdoor seating too, but one review says there were a lot of flies. Several posts say you have to go outside the building and along a walkway to reach the restroom.
The signature dish is the Naju Gomtang (₱300) with a clear beef broth, and many reviews say it is light and not greasy, so it's easy on the stomach even for breakfast. Just as popular as the gomtang is the Ureong Ssambap (₱400), which comes with more than ten kinds of fresh wrap vegetables, along with ureong doenjang (freshwater snail soybean paste) and spicy stir-fried pork. However, one review points out that the portion of stir-fried pork served with it felt small. Many reviews say the basic side dishes such as kkakdugi and kimchi are tasty for a Korean restaurant overseas. One review says they were able to get a refill of broth with the galbitang. There are also recommendations to have the assorted jeon with makgeolli on a rainy day or to share a dak baeksuk (whole chicken soup) with your group. Reviews of the yukgaejang are mixed, with some saying it was delicious and others saying it fell short of expectations. Several reviews say they serve sikhye after the meal.
According to Google Maps' popular times, lunchtime from 12 PM to 1 PM is the busiest, and depending on the day, many customers also come in between 6 and 7 PM. Several posts say that baeksuk dishes take time to cook, so you need to order ahead by phone. According to Google Maps, reservations and takeout are available. A 2022 review said the jeon that came was different from what was ordered and the bill was wrong, so it's a good idea to check your bill once.
According to Google Maps, there is a free parking lot and free street parking. One review says several cars could park in front of the restaurant, but another says there weren't enough spaces. The supermarket One Mart is about 50 m away, and Angeles City National Trade School is about 150 m away. You can call for inquiries and reservations.
