조벡이수제비 (Jobekisujebi) — the local verdict
Locals rate Jobekisujebi 0.28 stars above the Google crowd — the 5th-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 4.08. The median gap across badge-qualified Insadong restaurants is −0.16, for scale.
