About
Bustling Songpa pocha famous for its overflowing herbal broth mulhoe and budget-friendly 3,500 KRW soju near Seokchon Station.
A short walk from Seokchon Station, Wandosanhoe Po-jangmacha delivers raw seafood without modern 송리단길 frills. In business since 2006, the neighborhood stalwart fills up rapidly on weeknights with diners drawn by unpretentious atmosphere and 3,500-won bottles of soju. The vibe leans distinctly old-school pocha, where lively chatter echoes over metal tables and patrons serve themselves perilla leaves, sliced garlic, and wasabi from a communal banchan station. Orders start with complementary braised half-dried pollack (*kodari-jjim*), savory-sweet with a slight chew, alongside mild washed aged kimchi (*mukeunji*). Thick-cut seasonal raw fish, such as chewy olive flounder (*gwang-eo*), arrives on broad platters garnished plainly with lemon and parsley. Diners seeking live seasonal delicacies can order whole live shrimp (*saeng-sae-u*), brought wrapped tightly to the table before having their heads snipped on the spot for peeling. The undisputed centerpiece is the *Jangdokdae Mulhoe*, served in a heavy earthenware vessel. The patented broth incorporates an herbal base of Solomon’s seal, mistletoe, arrowroot, and dried citrus peel, balancing sweet, spicy, and tart notes. Buried beneath mounds of shredded cabbage, cucumber, and radish is a massive spread of live octopus (*san-nakji*), abalone, sea squirt (*meongge*), sea cucumber (*haesam*), and spoon worm (*gaebul*). Diners toss the crunchy vegetables and chilled seafood together, chasing thick sashimi with spoonfuls of icy broth before stirring in chewy cold noodles (*naengmyeon sari*). Finishing the night with a pot of hot ramen provides an easy counterpoint to the cold seafood spread. Wandosanhoe holds fast to straightforward drinking food, anchored by fresh catches and an accessible bar bill.
