In Seoul, there are restaurants that have always made a city famous by word of mouth for their delicious food and hearty portions. From pork cutlets with plenty of cheese to Korean chicken that is crispy on the outside and moist on the inside! A taste that forgives even a long wait! Here are 5 of the best restaurants in Waiting Daeran.

â–²Location: 27, Gonghang-daero 51-gil, Gangseo-gu, Seoul
▲Opening hours: 11:00 every day — closed when supplies run out, closed on Sundays
â–²Price: Kimchi dumpling 5,500 won, mochi dumpling soup 8,000 won
â–²Review (Shikigami's sister Shim Kung Hat): I think this is the most famous restaurant in Deungchon. It was famous before, but you can only eat dumpling soup at lunchtime after Lee Young-ja came out and introduced it. You have to order the dumplings in advance, but you have to wait at least three or four months. It's really delicious, though.
2. Lots of savory cheese! , Hong Eun-dong 'Yeondon'

â–²Price: Sirloin cutlet 7,000 won, cheese cutlet 8,000 won, extra curry 3,000 won
â–²Testimonial (Mrs. Bok-jil Shikigin): I tried pork cutlets after 3 tries. I definitely wanted to try it, so even though I visited early in the morning, the wait wasn't a joke! I ate it with the most famous cheese pork cutlet, but the cheese wasn't really a joke. The pork cutlet itself was thick and delicious, and it was worth the long wait!

â–²Testimonial (Shikigami Single Bungle): Even though I went there about an hour before opening time, I waited a bit lol. They distributed license plates starting at 11:00… I ordered cold sashimi noodles, and the noodles were more impressive than the garnish. It's chewy and doesn't smell like starch at all… I had to stand in line for so long that I didn't have to eat it, but it was delicious anyway.

â–²Price: Nagoya Majesoba 10,000 won, Shio ramen 96,000 won
â–²Review (Shikigami EH): A place where there is always waiting. A place where I came to Master of Life. I had mixed likes and dislikes when I saw reviews of Japanese bibim-myeon majesoba, but I was satisfied with this place. Eat salty noodles, add kelp vinegar, taste for a second time, and finally, until half full of rice. It was just right. Tasty Meals recently opened at a shrine, so please note!
