Tips

  • Every source agrees on 08:00 opening, so breakfast is not a problem. Closing is 18:30 on weekdays and 19:30 at weekends per Naver, DiningCode and 2026 blogs, but 19:30 Mon–Thu and 20:00 Fri–Sun per Kakao Map — plan on the earlier time if you go in the evening. It can close for national holidays, so check a map app before you go.
