이름이 없는 집

This Korean restaurant in Insadong is simply called "인사동그집" or "Insadong That Eating House". It is like saying I don't know the name of the eating house but you know at Insadong that eating house, that one, you know, you know? Or in Singapore context, I can say Katong That Laksa or Tiong Bahru That Chwee Kueh or Changi That Nasi Lemak and Singaporeans will go ya ya ya (yes, yes, yes), that one, I know, I know. In a certain sense, "인사동그집" can mean THE eating house of Insadong. I would think that only eating house worth their salt would dare to go by such "name". I could only think because I never went in and tried out the food and wine. That eating house was quite crowded though.
