인천집 (Incheonjip) — tourist trap or worth it?
Tourists rate Incheonjip 0.23 stars above locals — the joint 6th-widest tourist tilt among the 36 badge-qualified restaurants in Myeongdong. Locals put it at 3.87. That is a lukewarm local verdict under a 4.1 tourist rating, which is the shape of a place coasting on its address. The median gap across badge-qualified Myeongdong restaurants is +0.02, for scale.

Where the local verdict runs further ahead, within walking distance
Same district, a gap that runs further in the locals' favour, and a local score at least as high as this one — both conditions, so "locals prefer it" is a fact rather than a turn of phrase. Distances are straight-line from 인천집.
