As listed on Naver at the 2026-08-12 verification run. Korean menu prices move a few weeks behind the platforms; treat these as the shape of the bill, not a quote.

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 조선옥.
