Garosugil is known for its trendy shopping and flashy bars, but Cuckoo is a refreshingly low-end pub for those evenings when you want to down a few soju shots in an unpretentious atmosphere. Its interior is reminiscent of pojang macha (street food stalls), with walls full of graffiti and a loud, energetic vibe. Despite opening a second location nearby, Cuckoo is always crowded with young people enjoying the pojang macha menu: fried beef tripe, clam soup and egg soup. Their best menu items are definitely the ddeokbokggi with octopus and garlicky stir-fried chicken gizzard. Their food is far from healthy, and comes in large portions (especially considering the good prices), which is just the way we want our street food.
