On our map. We haven't walked through the door yet — here's why it's on the list.
A Korean table that opened in 2017 on Park Avenue, run by Mrs. Lee in the kitchen while her children handle the room. The house holds to traditional Korean cooking rather than the fusion register more common in the city.
Soondubu jjigae, gamjatang, haemul pajeon and dolsot bibimbap with crispy rice form the heart of the menu, with banchan alongside, and it carries samgyetang, ginseng chicken soup, which is harder to find elsewhere. The house is closed Wednesdays.
Restaurant Hansang is on the Regulars map — noted, not yet visited. Our guides are written on foot, door by door, and nobody pays to be in them. Whether the house takes part in Regulars is still to be confirmed. No points, no coupons — standing is earned.
