It's a solid place to come. Nice food, great atmosphere and I can see why the history of the place makes it popular. Is it worth waiting for? Not particularly. They have a queuing number system that isn't always working properly (falsely reset a few times). Didn't really mind too much as the food was good. Just wouldn't come again, plenty of other good ones around.
It was highly recommended but have to admit it could be better. The soup itself was good but wasn't as tasty as expected. I can hardly taste ginseng. Chicken was tender yes. Kimchi, they only have the cabbage kind in a self-serve big barrel but was disappointing to say the best. Ok, it is not why we were here but we are in Korea, right?
Great food, soup was delicious. They only serve one dish, you don't have to choose what to order. Please remember to wait 17 mins for the chicken to be cooked. You can order noodles to cook in the soup after.
