Geumseonggwan Naju Gomtang — Restaurant in Seoul

When I first walked in, perhaps because I arrived a bit early, I didn't quite feel the buzz of its rumored popularity. A simple-looking, humble, and neatly presented Naju beef soup was served. It was adequately seasoned, and I added a touch of pepper to suit my taste. Depending on your preference, you can also add salt or dipping sauce. The kimchi included fresh kimchi, kkakdugi (diced radish kimchi), and aged kimchi—three varieties. Personally, I found the kkakdugi and fresh kimchi to be exceptionally delicious. The meat in the beef soup was tender and tasty, and they served a generous portion. The price, at 11,000 won, is remarkably affordable compared to regular restaurants nearby. It was only as I was leaving, having thoroughly enjoyed my meal, that I realized the place's popularity—there was an incredibly long line snaking out of the entrance. Today was indeed a lucky day.

If you like gomtang or looking for a hot, meaty broth with rice, then this is the place.

The restaurant is clean, the food comes out quickly and very clean, service is quick, and food tastes wonderful with generous portions.

We ordered the regular "Naju Gomtang" and that was plentiful. You can also order the "Special" Naju Gomtang with more meat.

One extra bonus: Between 11:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., "dongdongjoo" (another name for makguli or rice wine) is FRER "all you can drink". Great taste...

Homely taste without any overly seasoned soup. Perfect for all seasons and weathers. The jeon was super crispy and large, breaking the sterotypical soft and small jeons that we, tourist, eat in our hometowns at a ‘Korean’ restaurant.

Would be great if we could refill this soup, was more savoury and clean compared to the refillable fishcake soup at the...
