Types of Korean Restaurants
노포
nopo · Long-running old restaurant (nopo)
Depends
What they serve
A restaurant that has run for decades, often with one specialty dish and loyal regulars.
How ordering works
Menus are short; ordering the house specialty is the safe bet.
Going alone?
Depends on the dish — soup and noodle places are solo-friendly; stew places may expect two or more.
Tip
Some are cash-preferred and very busy at peak hours — go a little early.
