Nari’s House

Nari's House - Review - Hannam - Seoul - The Infatuation

"Nari’s House in Yongsan is the kind of old-school neighborhood spot, or nopo, that survives because it refuses to change. The staff move with the efficiency of people who have been doing this for decades, and the crowd is almost entirely locals who know how to navigate the chaotic-but-orderly paper ticket system. Their pork belly is sliced so thin it sears in seconds, with that very Korean contrast of crisp edges and chewy center you only get from frozen cuts. But it’s actually the scallion salad we think about the most shredded into long ribbons, sharply seasoned, and meant to be dragged through the all that pork fat on your plate." - Eileen Cho
