On your way to your table, you’ll walk past a cabinet of Peking duck that’s a favorite order of many of the guests here at this handsome and comfortable Chinese restaurant at the Four Seasons hotel. While the menu leans towards Cantonese cuisine–lunchtime dim sum is always popular and the choice is extensive–the kitchen also offers specialities from a number of Chinese regions. Wok-fried Hoengseong Hanwood beef with ginger is a dish to look out for.

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.

This local haunt has been an integral part of Samcheong-dong’s history since 1982. The signature dish here is sujebi — rustic hand-pulled dough soup served in a savory anchovy broth. 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.

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.

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.

Hwangsaengga Kalguksu is a beloved noodle and dumpling specialist known for its long queues throughout the day. At the entrance, staff work swiftly to handcraft oversized mandu using fresh market ingredients, resulting in dumplings that are both generous and notably fresh. 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.
