As I savoured each comforting spoonful of soup, I could understand why Teumsae is where homesick Koreans come for the comfort of family-style, homecooked favourites.
Restoran Teumsae is simple, clean, bright and comfortable inside with furnishings well spaced out.
With its headquarter in Myeongdong and one of the most popular fusion food restaurants in Seoul since 1981, TEUMSAE actually means “a narrow space between walls”. Despite its small space, there’s always a queue lining up around the place. Another interesting aspect there is we can leave any messages on the restaurant’s wall. Covered with thousands of testimonials written on slips of paper, it’s obvious this place is something special.
This tastes like a REALLY authentic Korean meal! Starting with the side dishes, the kimchi has a really strong taste (which was what I enjoyed), whilst my girlfriend personally really liked the potatoes. So overall, their side dishes are a nice start to the meal.
