â–²Testimonial (Shikigin Hanyu): The store isn't big, and the waits are long because they are eaten with alcohol. I went there at 6 o'clock on Sunday, and I waited almost an hour to get in. I can adjust the spiciness, but people in Seoul really aren't very spicy. I think you can think of marathang, which is a bit sweet and spicy! You can eat it even when you're hungry! It also contains fish and contains a variety of basic ingredients, so it was delicious! It's a bit sweet, but I think that makes it even more addictive!

â–²Review (Shikigin Mari A marathang restaurant with a rich broth flavor. It would be nice if people who like Mara stopped by at least once. It's good to choose ingredients, but the chef's recommendations are also worth eating. The spareribs are also very chewy and crispy.
