Narrative

Sure, the chic, streamlined space is a touch larger and brighter, but the viral buckwheat noodles in perilla oil have endured; so, too, the queues that form like clockwork, even on a weekday afternoon. The six-strong suite of gukbap – or soups with rice – remains the main event, each a quiet lesson in refined complexity.
