Yeongsuni

Daejeon


Choose from a range of hearty set menus with shabu kalguksu (샤브칼국수), where you cook your own meat and noodles in a spicy mushroom and vegetable soup. More elaborate sets come with sangchussam (상추쌈), grilled meats wrapped in vegetable leaves. Look for a mushroom-headed caricature giving the thumbs up, and the picture menu out front.
