(49 reviews)Tucked near Galma Elementary School in Daejeon, Galma is a local lunchtime hotspot where lining up is part of the routine. The menu centers on several variations — the house Galma , Samseon (deluxe) , spicy Maeun , Nagasaki-style , and a winter-only Hayan Gul (white oyster) . The signature Galma arrives brimming with clams, cockles and mussels; its clear, shellfish-rich broth has a bright, restorative quality that locals praise as a hangover cure. If you love seafood, opt for the Samseon , which adds abalone, crab, shrimp and squid for a noticeably heartier bowl.
