Restaurants Featured On The Korean Show Sixth Sense
The ultimate guide for delicious restaurants visited by the cast members on the popular Korean show, Sixth Sense!
Sixth Sense is a Korean variety show where the cast members visit three different restaurants.
By using their 'sixth sense', they need to find which restaurant has been fabricated by the production team.
Recently, the announcement of its second season has made the show a hot topic.
While we were watching the show, we were curious about the restaurants that Yoo Jae-suk took the other members to.
Today, we will be taking you to the restaurants that were featured in the show!
Magoodgan Restaurant
마굿간편한식당

In the first episode of Sixth Sense, this Magoodgan Restaurant, which allows for their customers to enjoy the food they purchased from their grocery store at the restaurant right after was mentioned.
All the ingredients in the supermarket, including pork, beef, ham, pizza, and dumplings, could be eaten in the restaurant!
After buying the ingredients and paying 4,400 won for adults and 2,200 won for children, you can freely use the restaurant and grab eggs, soups, side dishes, noodles, salads, fruits, and drinks to enjoy.
The restaurant owners hope that their customers can enjoy delicious food at an affordable price.
The restaurant not only provides fresh ingredients but also a buffet at a low cost.

In the show, Lee Jong Kuk 104 in Seongbuk-dong was featured.
We were shocked to find out that one meal here cost 1 million won (approx. 858.8 USD).
But we checked the restaurant information and found that there are other meals available here for cheaper.
The restaurant's menu is divided into sets of 150,000 won, 300,000 won, and 500,000 won.

The dishes are specially tailored for each of their guests.
They use only the best ingredients and tableware for their meals.
The interior of the restaurant was very exquisite.
It is no wonder that Jessi wanted to take the tableware home during the show!
Dongnae Ajeossi Chicken
동네아저씨치킨
Address: 서울 관악구 행운2길 16
16 Haengun 2-gil, Bongcheon-dong, Gwanak-gu, Seoul
Hours: 16:00-02:00

The owner of Dongnae Ajeossi Chicken developed their amazing menu with original dark chocolate and fried chicken in 2017.
A serving costs 26,000 won, which is a bit more expensive than a regular Korean fried chicken.
After its launch, chocolate fried chicken was a hot topic of discussion on the Internet.
Customers who tried their chicken reviewed that it tasted very special and interesting.
Chocolate is delicious and fried chicken is delicious, but together? We have our doubts.

Just like Yoo Jae-suk commented after taking his first bite, it tasted very delicious, but after a while, it tastes too sweet and greasy.
Even if you eat more radish and french fries, there will be the taste of chocolate lingering in your mouth.
Some people on the Internet said that they won't be craving chocolate for a long time after eating this.
Robert Chicken
롸버트치킨
Address: 서울 강남구 언주로 604
604 Eonju-ro, Nonhyeon 2(i)-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul
Hours: 11:00-00:00
Lunch Break: 15:00-16:00
Last Order: 23:30
Robert Chicken is a tech start-up company that currently has two branches.
The company's business philosophy is to use robots to help the restaurant prepare dishes to protect the chefs from possible dangers such as lung disease and burns.
We originally thought that the entire restaurant was unmanned and we were surprised to see that there were employees helping pack meals and taking orders.
We thought that the concept of using robots to protect chefs was great.
After all, restaurants selling deep-fried meals exposes chefs to many injuries.
We originally thought that the food prepared by robots may not be as delicious but after watching the show and reading reviews, we found that it tasted just as great!

Viewers of Sixth Sense should recognize this giant bowl of seafood noodles right away!
This restaurant was picked by Yoo Jae-suk as the fake one out of the three because of the two fried shrimps placed on top of the huge bowl.
In fact, there are many cheap dishes at this restaurant.
Generally, fried rice, fried noodles, seafood noodles, dumplings, and sweet and sour pork commonly found at Chinese restaurants in Korea are quite expensive.
However, the prices at this restaurant range from around 5,000 won to 20,000 won.

The seafood noodles have various high-quality seafood ingredients such as octopus, abalone, prawns, black tiger prawns, squid, clams, mussels, fried shrimps, with its rich spicy soup and noodles.
The price is 109,000 won, for a large bowl that serves around 4-5 people.
So it is decently priced when the bill is split between 4-5 people!

This restaurant was repeatedly suspected as the fake, fabricated restaurant by the cast members because of its 40cm tall meat tower.
In fact, some hot pot restaurants in Taiwan also display their meat like this so we were quite familiar with it.
The price of the menu is not too expensive.
The small portion is 35,000 won, the medium-sized portion is 45,000 won, and the large portion is 55,000 won.
If you share it with a group of friends, the prices will be very affordable.
The soup is filled with vegetables, beef ribs, rice cakes, noodles, and other ingredients.
The top layer is covered with a large slice of beef to create a hill-like shape.
It is said that the restaurant earns 800 to 900 million won (approx. 700K USD) in revenue per year which shows just how popular the restaurant is.

It's interesting to find hidden restaurants tucked away in the middle of nature.
Although there are no trains running on the station currently, many customers visit this restaurant daily.
The restaurant has been in business for over nine years.
As soon as we entered the restaurant, it felt like entering a traditional Korean house just like the name of the place "ulijib" (우리집) which translates to "our house".
The menu is simple. There are noodles and dumpling soup. Cold noodles are available in the summer.
The price is 7,000 won and there are no drinks offered here.
