Guksuhwa is a Korean restaurant in Namdong, Incheon, serving royal rib noodle hot pot and octopus bulgogi.

Verdict: reserve ahead for a family gathering.

A family duck meal that pleased everyone from the baby to the grandparents.
Dongchuwon Bulgogi is a Korean bulgogi restaurant in Michuhol, Incheon. I had the Korean beef bulgogi set with morning-roll burgers and naengmyeon, and it felt like a good option for a family meal or dinner with parents. Warm, brothy bulgogi and the varied set made for a filling meal.

HOKATSU is a Japanese tonkatsu restaurant in Geomdan, Incheon, serving aged pork cutlets and beef gyukatsu cooked over a tabletop brazier. We shared the Signature Set for Two A with our 32-month-old, and the tender cutlets and overflowing cheese cutlet made HOKATSU worth another visit.
Hwangseonsaeng Angyeong Lensme Ruwon City Branch is an optical shop in Seohae, Incheon. My mother chose functional office progressive glasses after a vision test and detailed consultation, while we could watch the exam on a monitor outside the room. A good choice for a consultation-led progressive-glasses fitting.

Haemokjeong Yeonsu Main Branch is a Korean restaurant in Yeonsu, Incheon, serving pork rib stew and seafood dishes. The mild ₩35,000 pork rib stew, kalguksu noodles, and snow cheese fried rice made for an incredibly filling meal. Verdict: tender ribs and the finishing fried rice were especially satisfying.
