4.0
(9 reviews)A compact Hongdae noodle-and-broth counter that became a local buzz for its clear pork gomtang. The 10-seat dachi counter serves a surprisingly light, transparent pork broth filled with wide slices of tender boiled pork and a mound of thinly sliced scallion — a different take on pork gukbap. They often close early when ingredients run out, so calling ahead helps.
Local Tips
- •Signature clear-broth Dwaeji Gomtang loaded with generous slices of boiled pork and thin scallion ribbons
- •Just about 10 counter (dachi) seats — communal, walk-in only; arrive early or call ahead
- •Upgrade to the 'teuk' (special) for extra meat and pair it with kimchi mandu; expect early closing when ingredients run out
