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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Chef Nak-young Kim, an expert on Italian cuisine, offers his unique take on noodle dishes at Seokyonanmyunbang. His nanmyeon is a unique, creative fusion of Korean and Italian culinary traditions. The chef delicately balances these two distinctive traditions to highlight the texture of noodles and the delectable flavours of broth. Signature dishes include gueomdak nanmyeon made from a Jeju breed of chicken and seokyo nanmyeon featuring a broth made from chicken and Hanwoo beef. The chef creates seasonal noodle dishes, making it worthwhile to make multiple visits for new experiences.

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.
