A juk (rice porridge) and seafood restaurant on the 4th floor of a building in central Myeongdong, with an elevator, open from 07:00 every day. Abalone porridge comes with side dishes, so it is a proper meal; the menu also has soy-marinated crab and abalone samgyetang. Sources disagree on the porridge price, so none is given here. The official site has English, Japanese and Chinese pages. The official site, Kakao Map, DiningCode and a blog post all give the 07:00 opening.

Payment
The FAQ on the official website's Japanese and English pages says credit cards are accepted. It does not name card brands.

Opens 07:00 daily. Closing is 21:00 (official site, last order 20:30) or 22:00 (Kakao Map, DiningCode, last order 20:50), depending on the source
Reservation
The official site has a booking button (AutoReserve) and the phone number 02-318-5077. A blog account says walking in without a booking is fine, and notes many foreign customers and an owner who speaks foreign languages.

Tips
- The official site contradicts itself on public holidays, saying both "open all year" and "closed on public holidays". One July 2026 blog post shows a 15:00–16:30 break that no other source mentions. Check by phone or a map app before going, especially on a public holiday.
- Dated reviews are scarce: the latest written one is from 20 July 2026, and Kakao has a single review. Nothing suggests it has closed, but the evidence is thin.
