The restaurant is also known for its potato pancakes, made with grated potatoes that are pan-fried until crispy on the outside and pleasantly chewy on the inside. Avoid the lunch rush if you don’t want to stand in line, but be warned — the restaurant is always busy.

必比登₩Ramen
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.

必比登₩Dwaeji-gukbap
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.
必比登₩Gomtang
Hapjeongok is a restaurant born of nostalgia. As they were reminiscing one day on the father-in-law’s beef bone soup and boiled beef slices, the latter suggested to his daughter-in-law that they should open a beef bone soup restaurant. The establishment stays true to the inspiration — deeply flavorful beef broth, rice rendered soft and sweet in the piping hot soup, tender slices of beef, and a generous serving of boiled offal. The restaurant’s cabbage soybean paste soup is also a must try. Only around 100 portions of soup are served daily, so go early.
必比登₩Udon
When one can hear the dull tap of a blade against a wooden board every time a customer places an order, it’s a telltale sign that the chefs are serious about their craft. At Kyodaiya, that craft is Sanuki udon. The thick noodles are always cut to order to preserve their characteristic elasticity and smoothness until the very last minute. In addition to the classic kake udon, flavored with dried and smoked sardines and seasoned with light soy sauce, the chef brothers also offer classics like tempura udon and chilled bukkake udon.
必比登₩Mandu
Situated in Hapjeong-dong, Mipildam is an unpretentious little spot specialising in handmade mandutguk in North Korean style. This light-flavoured dish is made according to the young owner couple's family recipe. Diners cannot easily resist the perfect combination of plump, juicy dumplings and the delicate broth. In addition to the signature soup, the menu offers seasonally updated traditional dishes, which reflect the owners' passion for serving good food.
必比登₩Ramen
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.
必比登₩Mandu
For over two decades, this restaurant has been attracting diners with a rustic dumpling recipe passed down from the owner’s mother and her grandmother. Although humble by nature, dumpling dishes are always elegantly presented. Their signature dish is mandutguk: plump pork, bean curd and vegetable dumplings nestled in a delicate beef broth, seasoned with homemade soy sauce. The main dining room offers a spectacular view of nearby Inwangsan Mountain.
必比登₩₩Bulgogi
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.
必比登₩Doganitang
At Daesungjip, a rich, milky broth comes brimming with tender beef knee cartilage (dogani), tendon (suji), and shank (satae), all served with a dose of old-school hospitality. There’s no trace of gaminess—just a clean, subtly sweet broth with a luxuriously silky mouthfeel from well-emulsified fat. The steaming soup, springy dogani, and fluffy rice form a perfect trio, elevated by sharp kimchi, crisp kkakdugi, and bold gochujang garlic on the side. Owner Lee Chun-hee, still behind the ladle daily, may just be the key to the unwavering quality of this beloved doganitang.
必比登₩Korean
Andeok is known for its beef naengguksu and mandutguk. The mulguksu here is similar to Pyongyang-style naengmyeon, though the noodles are softer and springier thanks to the higher buckwheat content. The clean, mild broth is complemented by lightly seasoned beef, delivering a deep, savoury flavour with each bite. Fried peppers are also popular; the meat-and-vegetable filling, encased in a crisp batter, is unexpectedly flavourful. Arriving at opening time is recommended to avoid long queues at lunchtime.
必比登₩Chueotang
Since 1932, Yonggeumok has been offering piping hot bowls of loach soup, a popular local dish believed to boost energy, especially during the summer months. This restaurant serves two different versions of the hearty and comforting soup: the chunkier Seoul style with whole loach, and the smoother Jeolla province style with ground loach. Everything on the menu as well as the complimentary side dishes are prepared daily by the longtime owner and chef Han Jeong-ja.
必比登₩Thai
Horapha, which means “Thai basil” in Thai. The menu is simple, but each dish delivers remarkably deep flavors. Namtokhet is a spicy salad made with charcoal-grilled mushrooms, aromatic herbs, and toasted rice powder, which has a pleasant chewy texture. Kaeng massaman is a curry with a unique flavor profile, made with cinnamon and sweet roasted vegetables. Paired with the right wine, these dishes offer a distinctive tasting experience. There is limited seating, and the place is always packed. With limited seating and steady demand, reserving in advance is the best way to secure a spot.

Tucked away at the end of a quiet alley, the small, shoe-off restaurant retains a cosy charm. Founded in Naejadong in 1975 and relocated to its current site in 2006, it is known for a clean, aromatic heat that eliminates any gaminess. Its gamjatang is distinctive for using only bean sprouts and chives to create a refreshingly sharp broth. The jokbal is simmered for hours in a fragrant blend of spices and house broth, resulting in tender meat free of any off-flavours and deeply flavourful, chewy skin. Guests can choose between the richer hind leg or the softer foreleg, and the generous portions
必比登₩Naengmyeon
It is always a delight to find a restaurant with consistent quality. Jungin Myeonok is one such place; it has quietly maintained the flavors of its dishes across generations in rapidly changing times. Jungin Myeonok exclusively uses three-year-old natural sea salt and Korean beef to maintain the flavor of the broth for their signature Pyongyang naengmyeon. The subtly flavored noodles made only from buckwheat are another key feature of this restaurant. The hanu foreshank suyuk and mandu pair perfectly with the cold noodles. Expect a long wait during lunch hours as it is located in Yeouido.
必比登₩₩Gejang
This is the first Seoul branch of the acclaimed Taean County restaurant, located on the west coast of Korea. The name of the restaurant, which translates into “Flower crab house” specializes in soy sauce marinated blue crab, prized for its sweet flesh. Each spring, when local crabs are in season, they are caught and flash frozen to be used throughout the year. The crabs are prepared in Taean and sent to Seoul. The seafood side dishes are also good.
必比登₩Kalguksu
Hwangsaengga Kalguksu is a beloved noodle and dumpling specialist known for its long queues throughout the day.

The soft kalguksu noodles and deeply comforting beef bone broth remain the highlights, while old-style boiled pork and seasonal kongguksu are also popular choices. Open all day, it is best visited outside peak hours for a more comfortable meal.

必比登₩Seolleongtang
In the realm of Korean comfort food, there is little else more quintessential than seolleongtang — a hearty bowl of soup made by boiling ox bones and beef for hours until the broth turns almost milky white. Mapo Ok, which opened its doors in 1949, makes its signature dish by boiling brisket and ox bones until slightly opaque. The ox bone soup is served with thick slices of tender brisket and rice already mixed into the piping hot broth. Ask for a side of kimchi juice to season your soup for that extra dimension of flavor.
必比登₩Dubu
Hwanggeum Kongbat focuses on nourishing, comforting Korean cuisine, using domestically grown soybeans to craft their house-made tofu. 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.

At this humble diner situated in Bukchon Village, the pork and rice soup comes in two sizes: medium and extra-meat. A special oil made with Cheongyang chilli pepper and kale is drizzled on top of the clean soup, creating a unique visual appearance and rich, harmonious flavours. The Spanish Duroc baby pork ribs and thin slices of pork butt that complement the dish are exceedingly tender and boast delicate flavours, further elevating the gastronomic experience.

Located in the heart of Gwanghwamun, Mijin has been serving Korean-style cold buckwheat noodles since 1952. The restaurant operates a factory in the basement where the dipping sauce and buckwheat noodles are prepared fresh daily. One portion comes with two stacked tray baskets of noodles, a large kettle of chilled sauce and basic side dishes. Dress your dipping sauce to your desire with grated daikon, light wasabi, crispy seasoned laver and chopped green onions that have already been laid out on the table for you.

For over 50 years, this family-run eatery has been serving bowls of noodles to those seeking comforting nourishment. The fresh buckwheat noodles, one of its bestsellers, are made from scratch, daily, using premium salt from Bigeumdo Island in Sinan County, and buckwheat flour from Bongpyeong. Topped with seasoned vegetables, thin strips of egg garnish, and a dollop of sweet and spicy sauce, a bowl of these noodles makes for a satisfying meal. Garak-guksu, wheat noodles in piping hot broth, comes with a generous serving of fishcake.
必比登₩Mandu
Set inside a converted traditional hanok, this restaurant is built around its signature gaeseong-style dumplings, a recipe passed down from the owner’s grandmother. The dough, fermented for three hours, yields wrappers with a pleasantly elastic texture and a subtle wheat aroma, while the filling—pork blended with generous vegetables—offers a clean, harmonious flavour. The clear, milky broth is simmered for eight hours with beef and ten kinds of fresh vegetables, resulting in a naturally savoury depth without heavy seasoning. The accompanying mul-kimchi and kkakdugi pair beautifully with the du

Seoryung began its journey in Hongcheon, moved via Ganghwa, and finally settled in Namdaemun, Seoul. The restaurant has drawn noodle lovers wherever it relocated and continued to expand its connection with diners by preparing authentic noodles and broths with dedication. All of its noodles are made purely from buckwheat sourced and prepared by Chef Jong-moon Jeong. This is the secret to the fragrant buckwheat flavour that shines through in all its noodle dishes. The mandu and jeyuk, made from the most tender part of the pork shoulder, provide an even more satisfying experience.
