The original name of the Mingadaheon (Min’s Club) was Minikduga (Minikdu’s Home), but it was renamed and remodeled into a fusion restaurant in 2001. Minikduga was designed by Gilryong Park (1898-1943), the pioneer of modern Korean architecture, in 1930. This house, which is located in Gyeongun-dong, is a historical building that helps to understand the changes in Korean architecture. The exterior of the building looks like a traditional Korean house while on the inside it is decorated in a totally modern style. The restaurant is decorated with Victorian furniture and a fireplace. Mingadaheon offers six kinds of Korean style-food and fusion meals for lunch and dinner, three kinds of green tea from Boseong-gun, and eight kinds of handmade rice cakes, Korean tea and Korean cookies are served with the set menu. There are 200 kinds of wine available to choose from.
When Dolgorae Sundubu first opened in 1982, it sold sundubu (soft tofu stew) at a mere 600won, which was cheaper than the average price of jajangmyeon (considered one of the most inexpensive meals available at that time). The low price and great taste soon attracted a large number of customers and the restaurant has enjoyed great popularity ever since.
The restaurant's success lies in its fresh, soft tofu and its Jeolla-style pickled seafood and soybean paste (hand-made fresh each morning). The soft tofu stew seems to perfectly complement kimchi (Korea’s most popular side dish) and has become a restaurant specialty.
A number of A-list Hallyu stars, including Kim Tae-hee, Park Bo-gum and Park Han-byeol are frequent diners at Dure Guksu. Having been featured in numerous Korean TV shows, the most popular dishes on the menu include the signature beef noodle soup, bibim guksu (spicy cold noodles) and bibimbap (mixed rice bowl).
During dinner service, gopchang jeongol (beef tripe stew) is often paired with soju (distilled rice liquor). Rice stir-fried with vegetables in the same pot makes for the perfect finale for a laid-back dining experience. Please note that there is usually a long wait during lunch and dinner hours.
