MICHELIN Guide's Point Of View

Bib Gourmand: good quality, good value cooking

Kyewol Gomtang in Seongsu-dong specializes in Korean chicken soup or gomtang, as the name of the eatery plainly suggests, with the menu consisting of a mere three chicken-based offerings. Warm rice, chicken breast slices tenderly cooked at low temperatures, winter cabbage blanched to crunchy perfection, and clear broth skimmed of fat – all culminate in clean yet rich flavors in the soup. For lunch, spicy seasoned chicken with laver chips; and boiled chicken, which is then marinated with soybean paste and torch-grilled, are available as wallet-friendly side orders. The joint’s cold noodle soup, a summer special, is another not-to-be-missed treat.
