Absolutely authentic, as the eatery is nestled in the warmth of the owner's home. The fish paste ingredients boast a delightful freshness and tastiness that's hard to dispute. The fish fillet is impeccably fresh, while the tomato soup dances on the palate with a flavorful finesse, avoiding excessive saltiness. Despite the average pricing, the portions surpass expectations. Some lament the limited parking, but the cozy setting accommodates just four tables, adding to its intimate charm.
