- It was a day when I could eat alone, so I visited the restaurant 'NAN' because I could eat the food I wanted without having to cater to a picky palate.
- It sells home-cooked banchan, and today's menu included curry, doenjangguk (soybean paste soup), sesame leaf stir-fry, cucumber salad, mushroom jeon (pancake), and napa cabbage kimchi.
- It tasted like Korean-style Ottogi curry, so it felt ordinary, but I heard that the kimchi gimbap is famous, so I plan to visit and try it next time.
I was thinking a lot about what to eat today. It's a day when I can eat alone, so I don't have to go with someone who has a picky palate. I can eat what I want. But even when I go out to eat with someone, we don't talk much... I wonder if it's really necessary to go together, haha.
Anyway, the restaurant I chose today is "Nan". At first, I was going to go to a udon restaurant that was selected for the Michelin Guide 'Bib Gourmand', but I'll save that for another time.

Restaurant 'NAN'
You can enter the basement from the building you see above. There's an entrance to go down on the right.
Entrance to 'NAN'
There are 6 bar table chairs that can seat one person each. There are also 3 tables for two people and 3 tables for four people. However, it seemed possible to further separate the 4-person tables. It seemed like they would separate them according to the situation.
So there are 6 seats + 2 seats x 3 tables + 4 seats x 3 tables = a total of 24 seats.
The menu is as follows.

- Regular : 9,000 KRW
- Large (Larger than regular) : 11,000 KRW
- Additional main menu : 4,000 KRW
- Vegetable Kimbap : 4,000 KRW

- Kimbap with Spicy Pork : 5,000 KRW
- Egg Roll Kimbap : 6,000 KRW
- Kimbap Fritters : 6,000 KRW
- Hangover Ramen : 5,000 KRW
- Make the ramen a bit spicier + 500 KRW
- Additional Rice : 1,000 KRW
- Fried Egg : 1,000 KRW
- Drink : 2,000 KRW
"Today's Nan" is a home-cooked meal where the owner serves whatever they want to serve that day. They said the food changes every day. If your company is close by and you don't want to think about what to eat, you can come here often. (Of course, there are many restaurants in this area, so there are many places to go).
'Today's NAN' menu
So today, there was curry, soybean paste soup, stir-fried perilla leaves, cucumber salad, mushroom pancake, and napa cabbage kimchi.
Japanese curry, Indian curry, and Korean curry all have different flavors. The moment I tasted it, I knew it was the taste of Korean Ottogi curry. It wasn't the mild flavor of Ottogi curry, it was spicy. If you're curious about Korean home-cooked meals, you might want to visit and try it. For me, it was ordinary food.
It seems like their Kimbap with Pickled Radish is really famous here. I plan to try that next time.
