On 6.5
Restaurants · Bukchon
Kimchi becomes a modern small plate at On 6.5, where fried kimchi with shrimp meets sweet-sour dongchimi cream added at the table. The converted hanok suits a meal with a bottle to share when you want to explore fermented flavors beyond the usual cabbage side dish.

Why visit
- On 6.5 makes kimchi—the Korean family of fermented vegetables—the starting point for modern small plates in a converted hanok near Anguk. Choose it for a sit-down meal with a bottle to share, especially if you want to discover kimchi beyond the familiar spicy cabbage side dish.pixnet+2
Three dishes with different appeal
- Fried Kimchi is the clearest starting point. SmileyM’s original December 2024 visit described white kimchi, shrimp, garlic shoots and spicy kimchi fried in seaweed, then topped tableside with dongchimi cream. Dongchimi is a radish-based water kimchi; the diner liked the sauce’s sweet-sour contrast with the fried filling. The August 2025 visitor SYMon_Choi also recorded the cream being added tableside.pixnet+1
- For a richer plate, that December diner enjoyed tender Pork Belly with Gamtae—a Korean seaweed—over chewy barley cooked with Sichuan bean paste, alongside white kimchi. They were less convinced by the Uni Seaweed Noodle: uni means sea urchin, and they felt its sauce was too thin to cling to the noodles. The contrast is useful if choosing between a meaty barley dish and a creamier seafood direction; confirm the current menu.pixnet
Atmosphere and booking
- SmileyM liked the mix of tiled hanok roof, glass walls and indirect lighting, particularly the raised seating area’s sense of privacy. SYMon_Choi’s August 2025 visit found staff explaining dishes in fluent English. Ask about English service when booking if you would like help choosing dishes.pixnet+1
- The current CatchTable listing requires one bottled drink per table and limits weekend and public-holiday dining to two hours. SmileyM chose a non-alcoholic bottled drink in 2024, but confirm today’s non-alcoholic options when reserving. Include the bottle in your budget, not just the food.catchtable+1
