(89 reviews)A neighborhood institution since 1968 specializing in buk-eo (dried pollock soup). The broth is built from a long, slow simmer of Hanwoo beef bones until it turns milky and deeply savory, then finished with shredded dried pollock—rich in depth, almost like a gomtang. Food comes out quickly after you sit, so it’s handy for time-pressed travelers, and the staff are famously generous with free refills of broth, rice, and solids. Simple side dishes—oiji muchim (seasoned pickled cucumber) and buchu muchim (seasoned garlic chives)—brighten the bowl.
