About
Pork soondae-guk and half-portion samgyetang in a tidy, tightly spaced neighborhood dining room.
The draw at Myeongpum Gohyang Samgyetang is not just the chicken in its name: regulars also come for a bowl of pork soondae-guk (순대국), a substantial soup served with sundae and mostly pork head meat rather than offal. The broth is savory and meaty; reviewers say a spoonful of spicy seasoning paste and salted shrimp makes it richer. Small side dishes, including stir-fried garlic stems with shrimp and cucumber with ssamjang, round out the meal. The menu is short, and the listed soondae-guk is ₩9,000. For a lighter meal, the half-portion samgyetang (반계탕) is ₩9,000. It comes with a clear broth and tender chicken; some visitors notice a light herbal aroma, though reports suggest the flavor can vary. The full Goryeo samgyetang is ₩15,000. There is also stone-pot bulgogi for ₩9,000, described as sweet-salty with glass noodles and enoki mushrooms. The soups suit a cold day or a meal after a late night, but the pork soup is the dish with the strongest following. This is a tidy, plain neighborhood dining room, with roughly ten or eleven four-person tables set fairly close together. Ordering is straightforward, and parking is available. The catalog lists opening hours as 10:00 to 21:00 daily; one blog mentions a 15:00–17:00 break, while other accounts say there is no break, so check before making a mid-afternoon trip. Lunch on boknal, the hottest days of summer traditionally associated with eating restorative chicken soup, can bring a long queue. Come earlier if you want to avoid it. It works for a filling solo lunch, a family meal or a casual group stop near Soongsil University. Keep expectations measured: visitors praise the value and some return for the broth, but others say the flavor has become more ordinary or changes from day to day. Seating is close, especially when the room fills.
