본가닭탕
About
A Bucheon chicken-house serving 닭탕 and dak-bokkeum-tang since 2000, with kalguksu and rice porridge to finish the meal.
Bucheon’s 본가닭탕 is built around a satisfying sequence: start with a bubbling pot of 닭탕, add 칼국수, then finish with 닭죽. It’s a meal with an unhurried rhythm, and the restaurant’s own serving tips make the order clear: mix chopped green onion into the tangy, spicy sauce for the chicken, save some potato for the porridge, and let the noodles take their turn after the meat. The small 닭탕, reported at ₩28,000, comes with chicken, rice cakes and potatoes in a broth several diners describe as clean and mild. The sauce is a defining counterpoint—sharp, piquant and loaded with scallion—though one visitor preferred the chicken without it. For a more noodle-and-porridge-focused lunch, the weekday lunch special pairs 칼국수 and 닭죽; one account lists it at ₩10,000 per person, with a two-person minimum. 닭무침, available by the half portion in one lunch visit, brings a brighter, seasoned option to the table. When the weather calls for something cold, 초계국수 is also on the menu. The meal’s best detail may be the ending. After the noodles, staff prepare the 죽 at the table, incorporating the reserved potato for a soft, savory finish. That hands-on final course turns a pot of chicken soup into a full progression rather than a single dish. Inside, the reported setting is tidy and practical: wood-toned tables, leather booth seating and a TV overhead. One evening visit found the room busy enough that a reservation helped avoid waiting; a lunch visitor encountered a quieter dining room. The restaurant is identified in the posts as the Bucheon main branch in the Sinjung-dong area. It suits diners who want a warming, shareable chicken meal with several textures and courses, as well as those who prefer to make the broth, noodles and porridge the main event.
