01 LOCAL TABLEKAIHWA
Kai 火 is a neighborhood Korean-Chinese restaurant on the second floor of a building near Sangsu Station. The menu covers familiar Korean-Chinese dishes such as jajangmyeon, ganjjajang, jjamppong, fried rice and tangsuyuk, while also offering dishes such as yuringi, kungpunggi, palbochae and seafood dishes. Its prices remain relatively accessible, with noodles starting at around ₩7,000 and several shared dishes in the ₩20,000 range. The restaurant is also known for its weekday daily sets, which combine a noodle or rice dish with additional dishes at a relatively low price. What makes Kai 火 more interesting than a standard neighborhood Chinese restaurant is the emphasis on cooking dishes to order. Recent local reviews repeatedly mention the jjamppong and samseon ganjjajang, while the restaurant's daily sets have long been popular with nearby workers and students. The trade-off is speed: several reviews note that dishes can take 20 minutes or considerably longer during busy periods, particularly at weekend lunch.
