Sinchon Sujebi — Restaurant in Seoul

Hidden Gem

This place has been around FOREVER serving up bowl after bowl of steaming hot tradition Korean sujaybee.

Sujaybee (수제비) Is a rustic, simple, and DELICIOUS soup filled with hand ripped pieces of dough. It's similar to a flat noodle or the skin of a dumpling. The broth thickens from the dough as well as from potatoes they boil in the pot. The soup warms you up in winter and sticks to your ribs.

Extra Tips/Facts There is a red pepper paste and pepper you can add if you want alil spice. Because the grandma cooks are old school they may serve a little smaller portion to females. It really isn't that noticeable because it already a huge bowl. The price is ￦4,000 which is a VERY GOOD DEAL for the portion.

This angered both me and my mum and we just lost appetite there and stopped eating right there. These ladies are also very racist to foreigners. But they forget that we can speak and understand...

Only two things on the menu: sujebi (hand prepped plain dumplings in soup) and the gimbap (rice rolled in seaweed). If that’s all they do, you KNOW it’s good. Freshly made to order, it was a great warm filling dish that tasted refreshingly light (not oily nor heavy), perfect on a cool to cold day. The hand made plain dumplings were so chewy and delicious, I wish I had a bigger stomach to eat more of it. These old ladies have been doing nothing but this for years, and it shows in the taste and quality of the food, at such a reasonable price. Delicious, well...
