Thanks to my husband, a pork soup enthusiast who knows Chef Ok-dong Sikdang from &#8216;Black and White Chef 2&#8217;, we rushed out early Sunday morning as soon as we heard about the opening.<\/p>\n<h2>Difficulty of Same-Day Reservations and Long Waits<\/h2>\n<p>A little before the restaurant&#8217;s opening time of 11:30 AM, at 11:00 AM, I tried to make a reservation through the Catch Table app from my car. However, by 11:15 AM, I still hadn&#8217;t been able to reserve, and despite pressing the button as soon as waiting began, I received the 58th waiting number. Although they said 80 seats would be available at opening, I had to be aware that the waiting time could be longer depending on the on-site waiting situation.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/linksboo.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/linkboo_10062_2_90025EF25BC25BF2026011125EF25BC25BF112337.jpg\" alt=\"Ok-dong Sikdang Songpa District parking information\"><figcaption>Ok-dong Sikdang Songpa District parking information<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Parking Information<\/strong><br \/>A large parking lot is available across from the restaurant, and even if it&#8217;s full, there are many open spaces nearby, so parking was not a major issue.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/linksboo.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/linkboo_10062_3_90025EF25BC25BFScreenshot25EF25BC25BF2026011425EF25BC25BF21264925EF25BC25BFNAVER.jpg\" alt=\"Ok-dong Sikdang Songpa District interior view\"><figcaption>Ok-dong Sikdang Songpa District interior view<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/linksboo.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/linkboo_10062_4_90025EF25BC25BFScreenshot25EF25BC25BF2026011425EF25BC25BF21270725EF25BC25BFNAVER.jpg\" alt=\"Ok-dong Sikdang Songpa District interior view\"><figcaption>Ok-dong Sikdang Songpa District interior view<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>By the time we arrived at the 11:30 AM opening, on-site Catch Table reservations were already closed. On-site waiting was prioritized after opening, and only about 3-4 teams using Catch Table were able to enter. My husband and I had a long way to go in the queue, so we returned to the parking lot. The estimated waiting time continued to be displayed as 180 minutes, so we even went to &#8216;Seoul Hotteok House&#8217;, which is 15 minutes away, to satisfy our hunger. We decided to wait until 2 PM to decide whether to go elsewhere, anxiously wondering if we would miss the break time.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/linksboo.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/linkboo_10062_5_90025EF25BC25BF1768392896414.jpg\" alt=\"Ok-dong Sikdang Songpa District exterior\"><figcaption>Ok-dong Sikdang Songpa District exterior<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/linksboo.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/linkboo_10062_6_90025EF25BC25BF2026011125EF25BC25BF112511.jpg\" alt=\"Ok-dong Sikdang Songpa District exterior\"><figcaption>Ok-dong Sikdang Songpa District exterior<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Chef Ok-dong Sikdang, Winner of &#8216;Black and White Chef 2&#8217;<\/strong><br \/>We were able to directly experience the skills of Chef Ok-dong Sikdang, who won the competition against Monk Seonjae in the &#8216;\ud751\ubc31\uc694\ub9ac\uc0ac2: \ub274\uc695\uc5d0 \uac04 \ub3fc\uc9c0\uacf0\ud0d5&#8217; episode.
