    The name nods to a style of communal dining that traces back to the Joseon royal court, but nothing here feels like a museum piece. This Korean tapas spot on Fillmore folds parmesan and chorizo into kimchi fried rice without apology, then pivots to a chilled fermented chili broth with raw seafood like it's all perfectly obvious. The Michelin Guide thinks so too, awarding it a Bib Gourmand. Order generously and plan to negotiate over the fried chicken.

    • Soy lime glazed fried chicken

      “a starter of sweet-tangy soy lime glazed fried chicken, boasting a craggy, ultra-crunchy exterior and juicy, tender meat, is so good you'll want to discard any idea of sharing”

Eat Score

The score comes from the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin star outweighs a listicle. When you sort by what's nearby, distance changes the order, never the score.

      Stay Score

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle. The last fifth is where it is: the ranked places to eat and things to do around it, and how safe the country is. When you sort by what's nearby, distance from you changes the order, never the score.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
