Tongyeonggollisikdang

A second-generation seafood hot pot restaurant (haemul ttukbaegi) tucked into an alley in Mujeon-dong, Tongyeong-si; since before the 1960s it has made its broth from seafood alone, and its signature is a deep, savory soup full of the aroma of mideodeok (sea squirt).

Highlights

• A local-life-district old restaurant deep in a Mujeon-dong alley, different in character from the tourist commercial area.
• Since before the 1960s it has made broth from seafood alone, now in its second generation, and the mideodeok aroma rises deeply and refreshingly.
• More than 10 basic side dishes are served, and ham slices, fried eggs, and pan-fried tofu are added, making the table generous.
