MICHELIN Guide's Point Of View

Bib Gourmand: good quality, good value cooking

This beloved family-owned culinary landmark, located on a busy side street in Myeong-dong, has been serving rustic bowls of beef bone soup since 1939. The version here is served in traditional brass bowls with rice already submerged in the hot soup. The broth is pure and rich with an unmistakable sweetness that can only result from boiling large amounts of beef for a long period of time. This old-fashioned, no-fuss eatery opens early in the morning and closes when its soup vats run dry.
