Yukjeon Hoekwan

Bulgogi · Bib

₩₩

Three generations spanning five decades have kept this restaurant in business since its opening in 1962. At the time, their iconic crispy thin-sliced bulgogi, grilled over open flames, was all that was offered on the menu. The dish became so popular that the name bassak bulgogi was patented. Today, the restaurant stands four stories high, still serving the same dish that has fed generations. Their coagulated beef blood soup with a clear broth is another stunner.

Damtaek

Ramen · Bib

₩

Damtaek is a cozy little ramen haven nestled in a quiet alley near Hapjeong Station. Chef Jo Won-hyeon has purposefully adorned this quaint space with vintage artifacts. The restaurant’s shio ramen, and associated variations that use the same soup base, are in stark contrast to its homey, down-to-earth vibe. The refined and clean flavors of the soups are singular and inspire lingering addiction. With a passion for creating tastes unbound by culinary convention, the chef has persistently dedicated his craft toward perfecting the art of shio ramen, creating ramen that can delight any palate.

Seasoning is kept light to highlight the natural flavors of each ingredient, resulting in dishes that are gentle yet flavorful. Standouts include jjabak dubu, dubu jorim, dubu jeongol, dubu jeon, and dubu duruchigi, all beautifully paired with house-brewed takju made from just rice, nuruk, and water.

Oreno Ramen

Ramen · Bib

₩

Oreno Ramen blends its broth just before serving, creating a frothy soup that pleasantly coats the palate. The paitan, made by boiling a whole chicken, is a milky broth with a nutty flavour and creamy texture. House-made noodles, melt-in-your-mouth chicken, kelp, and egg complete an exceptional bowl. For an extra kick, opt for the spicy broth, and take advantage of complimentary refills of noodles, rice, and broth. Though the restaurant often has a long queue, turnover is quick, so waits are usually short. A side of chilli peppers is also recommended and provided free of charge.

Okdongsik

Dwaeji-gukbap · Bib

₩

Okdongsik has defined its own refined take on dwaeji gukbap, offering a light, clean broth reminiscent of gomtang. Made from the ham and foreleg of native Korean black pigs raised on Jirisan Mountain, the broth is subtle yet elegant in flavour. Prepared using the toryeom method—repeatedly pouring hot broth over the rice—each grain comes alive, enhancing the dish's depth. The house dipping sauce complements paper-thin slices of pork beautifully. Delicately crafted kimchi dumplings complete the comforting dining experience.
