Wonjo Seoul Samgyetang Nampo-dong Headstore — Restaurant in Busan

When we went, all their items besides chicken soup were unavailable even though it was prime dinner time. However, we didn't mind since there's so many food stands and restaurants around the area and we had planned on getting more food after.

They have quick and attentive service and store lady is super nice. The owner can speak some mandarin. We got a wild Ginseng Chicken Soup to share and it was solid! The soup was very rich and had an authentic taste. Chicken itself had a lot of flavor. I recommend dipping the chicken with a dab of their salt to go with the soup to create a great balance in flavor or putting some kimchi into the soup! The tofu bean curd as part of their banchan here was also particularly good and can also go well with the chicken.

Highly recommend if craving ginseng chicken...

Also many plates with a wide variety of pickles were filled as they were consumed (as it is customary in Korea). In all, it is a no brainer: if you cannot decide what to have for dinner, try the traditional stuff, even if you...

As close time in Google map is 9.30 The restaurant actually closed at 9. And my orders are 1 samgyetang and 1 roast chicken which should give me and my husband some time to finish them. (I’m in the restaurant on 8.11) When it at 8.40 the restaurant owner start to sigh too many times. So I opened my wallet to count my cash to consider how will I paid. The owner brings the receipt to my face and said sorry? He seems really rush. So if you don’t want to open till 9. Please change closing time. He shouldn’t do bad...
