Taste: On the days that you just need a little taste of home, this spot will do the trick!

Price: Worth every cent! 7,700-9,300 won for a good-size burger. For a few extra bucks, turn your meal into one of two available sets and get a soda plus wedges or beef chili wedges. And don’t forget Happy Hour at 4-8 p.m. with 2,000 500cc drafts.

Interior: It gives an industrial feeling with concrete walls and glossed floors. The front wall is a large window, so there’s an ample amount of natural light. If you’re not feeling like dining in, take out is also available.

Atmosphere: Welcoming and relaxing. Menus are at the tables; place your order at the counter. Great place to grab some lunch or dinner, especially on a beach day. Seating is limited, but the wait is never long and food is brought out quickly.

Staff: Joon-ho and Hyun-sek are true masters of their craft, which they’ve learned and perfected abroad! Not only do they serve incredible food, they’re great conversation as well! These guys have been huge supporters and sponsors of Jeju Furey and the western community. Great guys to chat up so stop in and say hey.
