Hongdae's hidden, emotional cafe

While walking in the alleys of Hongdae, my attention was suddenly attracted by a cute cat. On the round sign is a smiling lucky cat with the words "온정텐동" written on it.
This time in Seoul I found a small restaurant that is perfect for dining alone. Not only is the atmosphere cute and warm, but it’s not awkward at all to go in alone! The seating arrangement in the store is thoughtful, so you won’t feel lonely. Instead, you will feel like you are eating in your own kitchen.
I ordered a signature main course, which was served steaming hot, with crispy fried shrimps, distinct rice grains, and the sauce having just the right amount of salty and sweetness. While eating, I couldn't help but think of the memories of my trip to Japan. I didn't expect that I could taste such authentic and attentive Japanese cuisine in Korea.
What’s even more surprising is that the accompanying side dishes are not sloppy at all, with a sweet and sour taste that makes the whole meal not greasy at all, but more and more delicious.
✨When traveling alone, I am most afraid of not being able to find a restaurant that is not awkward and delicious. This restaurant completely broke my expectations.
If you also like to eat quietly and want to find a small restaurant with quality,*
Highly recommend to come and sit here.

💡Tips: It is recommended to avoid peak dining times, as it will be more comfortable with fewer people!
