Publisher's Review
“Welcome, this is the goblin restaurant, only visible to those with worries.”

A goblin restaurant that magically appears when you're feeling down or having a hard time

If you eat a dish with a strange name that you have never seen before,
The worries that were weighing on your mind will be resolved?
A magical experience that I hope will happen to me someday!

A mysterious dish shrouded in mystery and thrilling tension
This book contains detailed and realistic descriptions of the process by which Dohwarang, the owner of the goblin restaurant, cooks for her customers.
The process of preparing ingredients, boiling broth, and frying in oil is vividly depicted as if it were unfolding right before your eyes, stimulating the readers' five senses.
Moreover, when Dohwarang takes out her golden hairpin and sprinkles golden dust, the purple squid ink magically turns white and the red jelly turns golden. Dohwarang's mysterious cooking, which seems ordinary but is not, is one of the great joys of this book.
Additionally, it creates a thrilling tension by making you immerse yourself in the story and wonder what role Dohwarang's cooking, shrouded in mystery, will play in solving the main characters' worries and what secrets are hidden in the golden hair Dohwarang received in payment for the food.


The inner strength to solve one's own problems
The main characters of this book solve their problems thanks to Dohwarang's cooking, but in fact, it cannot be said that it is solely due to cooking.
Rather than complaining about Mi-jeong's misfortune, who had been teasing her, Jin-ah tried to comfort her in some way, and Mi-jeong, when she put herself in Jin-ah's shoes, not only repented her mistakes but also showed concern that her misfortune would spread to others and showed a willingness to make sacrifices.
Mr. Kim was always willing to listen attentively to others' stories, and Han Jae was deep enough to forgive the mistakes of his friend who had been bullying him.
The real strength that helped them overcome their worries was the fact that they accepted the difficulties they faced as they were and tried to overcome them, and that they thought of and cared for 'us' before 'me'.
Through these protagonists who overcome hardships with their own inner strength, readers will learn the virtues of courage, consideration, and growth.


Pictures that make the story more realistic
Thanks to the clean drawings, unique colors, and rich facial expressions of the characters, the story feels more vivid and is read in an instant.
The variety of low-saturation colors used in this film adds a sense of realism to the somewhat eerie and gloomy goblin restaurant and the daily lives of the main characters who sigh deeply.

■ Evaluation Team Review

It's strange that the Goblin Restaurant only appears to people who are having a hard time or are worried.
I also want to eat strange foods when I'm having a hard time or having worries in reality.
Among them, I want to taste the taste that tells the truth.
_5th grade Kang Min-seo

It's a fantasy tale, but somehow it feels like it's happening right around me, or rather, it's a magical experience I hope will happen to me someday! The cooking process is depicted so realistically that it's almost as if the book smells like food.
I'm already looking forward to Volume 2, wondering what the next dish will taste like and what kind of story the guest will have. _Kim Ra-im, 5th grade

It warmed my heart to see my children's worries solved through delicious food.
I also want to be invited to the goblin restaurant.
I want to go with my dad, who is a firefighter, and eat some delicious fried fish.
_5th grade Kim Tae-hee

It's amazing that they came up with this idea.
The menu at Dokkaebi Restaurant is written by taste rather than food names, which makes me even more curious.
I'm excited to see what flavor will come out next.
_4th grade Lee Seo-yoon

After reading this book, the image of a goblin restaurant came to mind.
When Dohwarang asked for a single strand of golden hair, I got goosebumps.
When golden hair grows from my head, I think the goblin restaurant will come to visit me.
I also want to try the hot dog that Mijung ate.
I really want to read the second volume of Goblin Restaurant when it comes out.

_5th grade Jeong Hae-ri

I couldn't put the book down because of the fun twist that unfolded differently from what I expected.
I also want to solve my worries by eating the delicious food prepared by the pretty goblin chef, Dohwarang. _Jin A-young, 5th grade
