육전국밥 牛肉煎餅湯飯 홍대점 弘大店
I discovered this place because it just happened to be near our hotel. We passed by it every morning and evening, and there were always quite a few people inside. In this country, where there isn't a breakfast tradition, we still try our best to find good food in the morning. This place is open 24 hours, so whether you're looking for a midnight snack or breakfast, it's perfect.
This place is also particularly suitable for solo travelers; it is really friendly! There is completely zero contact when ordering. There are window seats designed for one person. Ordering is done through a machine on the table, and you can pay directly with your card, which is very convenient. The language can also be switched to Chinese. The environment is clean, and the staff is very kind. Although the taste is good and the overall advantage is convenience without time restrictions, I wouldn’t recommend making a special trip here for a meal; there are probably many better options!

- This bowl is super refreshing in the summer! Having it for breakfast was a bit cold... It's buckwheat cold noodles topped with a beef pancake coated in egg batter. Though it's thin, each bite brings forth the aroma of beef. Don’t let its appearance fool you; the portion is quite large, and I walked out feeling full.

- Beef soup with rice; eating this in the morning is indeed more warming. It should be even more comforting in winter.
✐ 모둠전 ₩ 28,000
- My friend thought it was just a few types of fried food, so she ordered it to eat herself. However, when it arrived at the table, she was completely shocked 🤣 — it was a basket of fried seasonal vegetables and their special beef pancakes. Because the portion was so large, she had a tough time eating it, but she said it was delicious! Plus, she packed some to reheat later (although after microwaving, it became very oily, so I still recommend finishing it on the spot if possible).
