한우공방 (Hanugongbang) — the local verdict
Locals rate Hanugongbang 0.56 stars above the Google crowd — the 2nd-widest local lean among the 17 badge-qualified restaurants in Insadong. The tourist rating of 3.8 is the low half of that gap, and a low tourist rating in Seoul usually means no English menu and no patience for confusion rather than bad cooking — locals keep coming back at 4.36. The local review base (1,530) dwarfs the Google one (196), so the local half of this gap is the better-evidenced half. The median gap across badge-qualified Insadong restaurants is −0.16, for scale.
