동북화과왕

Dongdaemun <Dongbuk Hwagwawang>. The name alone has presence. The worn, timeworn interior—this is in fact one of Korea's first-generation lamb-skewer restaurants—could pass for an old establishment somewhere in China. The skewers are satisfyingly thick, and the other dishes, though somewhat oily, were all above average. A good choice when passing nearby.
