(109 reviews)A Sin-gil-dong spot famous for its deulkkae (perilla‑seed) — a lighter, nutty alternative to the usual ginseng chicken soup. The broth is thick and almost stew-like, made by simmering chicken heads and feet for depth and finishing with perilla, glutinous rice and ground sesame. They use only domestic chicken, rice and kkakdugi, and the young chicken is cooked for 1.5 hours so the meat is very tender.
Local Tips
- •Distinctive deulkkae (perilla‑seed) broth—thicker and nuttier than typical samgyetang
- •Uses domestic chicken, rice and kkakdugi; young chicken simmered 1.5 hours for tender meat
- •Offers takeout and parking; consider buying the packaged gochujang as a souvenir
