On a Thursday the wait was registered at 5:42pm as number 17 and entry came at 6:58pm, followed by two servings of quick-frozen pork belly at 18,000 won, soju, and two free kimchi refills from the self-bar. Tapgol Gongwon is worth a visit for the outdoor atmosphere alone, but put your name down early.
