Seongbuk-dong Nurungji Baeksuk — Restaurant in Seoul

This place has only a few items on their menu, but the Baeksook is the main dish. It's a version of the popular Samgaetang with a whole chicken. This dish has a whole chicken too but is partially broken up and is on top on a plate to a stone bowl underneath with the remainder of the chicken broth rice gruel. Very good version of Samgaetang and not very touristy. Mostly locals, but the locals love it. So do I.

If you like chicken, and not necessarily the rice gruel, you might try a Samgaetang...

Highly recommended for those who are looking for something new, and maybe even those feeling...

It was not worth of a long wait.. about 45 min if not longer. I wanted to go here for a long time; book marked for a few months. The chicken dish was 49000KRW and the buckwheat pancake was 10000KRW. The rice porridge was good. The meat was large enough to share among 4 people. If the price was 40000KRW or less, maybe 5 stars. The pancake was too thick. I enjoyed the meal but finitely not worth the money and the wait. Also there was a hair on our cucumber vegetable dish. Also the servers were...
