Kyewol Gomtang — Restaurant in Seoul

It's a tiny restaurant that's in a style of a sushi bar - Chef in the middle with up to 10 guests sitting around him. But they serve very simple, clean dish of Korean style chicken soup with rice. You're most likely going to have to wait but I think it's worth it.

They're known for their mild and clear chicken broth but if you're adventurous, I would urge you to try their spicy version. It's not too bad and I surprisingly liked it. The most unexpected dish was the spicy chicken 'salad' with fried seaweed. I know how it sounds - but hear me out - it all just works. The chicken is hand shredded and very tender. It's mixed with various veggies and you east it all with the crunchy and savoury fried seaweed. I've never had anything like it but it was probably my favourite dish out of all.

If you can wait through the lines, I promise you that you will be rewarded with some of the cleanest and delicious chicken...

The Chicken rice is a non traditional Korea Chicken rice with a very smoothing clean favor. The plating is meticulously placed to show the persistence of the founder.

The atmosphere is neat and clean with a touch of Japanese decoration. The cook is very particular on what you order and carefully manage the portion I ordered, he would insist the right portion and recommend with his thought. Rarely see him smile, but it could be because of the culture. Overall experience is authentic with a touch of fusion....

2024.10.12 Visited this place because it’s near where I stay. Worth making a trip here just for the food? I don’t think so. Chicken broth soup is rather bland. The saviour is the chicken salad with rice crisps. Service is impersonal. I think I have higher expectations for Michelin-rated food.
