Why Food Was the Highlight of Our Seoul Family Summer Vacation
This summer, a family traveled from Jeonbuk to visit Seoul. Instead of going far away, the couple and their two daughters chose to find complete relaxation in Seoul, and they picked Goldtuna Bangi branch (골드참치 방이점) as the precious dinner spot for their journey.
It feels truly precious to us that they chose us not as a restaurant they happened to stop by, but as a destination they had definitely wanted to visit since the planning stages of their trip.
A record of a delightful moment shared with Somaek-imo (소맥이모) by a family who came to Seoul from Jeonbuk for their summer vacation.
A Family Vacation Decorating a Page of Seoul
Travel memories are not just about visiting famous tourist attractions. What you taste and what kind of space you spend time in often determine the vivid colors of that trip.
The father, who spent a part of his Seoul vacation at Goldtuna, gave us this pleasant greeting as he sat down.
“We have come to the hottest place in Seoul.”
This doesn't necessarily mean we are the most glamorous place in Seoul. It was the father's own tribute, filled with the excitement and affection he had for how he had envisioned this restaurant before his visit.

The Joy of Meeting Someone You've Missed
As soon as the father faced Somaek-imo, he recognized her at once. Then, he threw out a hearty joke that made everyone nearby burst into laughter.
“Among those who love alcohol,
if there's someone who doesn't know 'Imo,' they must be a spy.”
Warmth spread across the table. The family marked the highlight of their trip by enjoying a carefully prepared meal along with the 'Jumakase' (liquor omakase) presented by Somaek-imo.
The scenes of this day were preserved intact in photographs and in the family's laughter.

A Restaurant Remembered for People Beyond Food
This family's visit also gave us a deep resonance. It was because of the fact that they included Goldtuna Bangi branch (골드참치 방이점) in their plans as an important point of their Seoul trip, despite the long distance.
It was a journey they willingly took, not just to taste tuna, but to directly experience the atmosphere of the site and be with the people they wanted to meet.
This is a restaurant with actual cases where customers who already knew Goldtuna and Somaek-imo included it in their Seoul family trip itinerary.
A restaurant they didn't just happen upon because it was near a tourist attraction, but one they traveled to with determination to open its doors. For this family, Goldtuna was a precious destination for their Seoul summer vacation.
We express our deep gratitude to the four of you for taking such a precious step from Jeonbuk to Seoul. We will also remember for a long time the photos of the moments we laughed together and the father's cheerful words.
