About
Old-school seolleongtang and boiled beef, a short walk from Yongsan Station.
Seolleongtang is ox bone boiled long enough that the broth turns opaque white, and the honest test of a shop is whether it tastes of anything once you salt it. Pujuok passes: the broth is thick-bodied rather than watery, the beef is sliced generously into it, and the kkakdugi is properly sour rather than sweet. It is an unglamorous room near Yongsan Station, full at lunch with people who work nearby and are not there to photograph anything. Order the suyuk alongside if you have time — sliced boiled beef with salted shrimp and mustard is what turns a quick bowl into a meal worth sitting over.

Local tips
- Salt and pepper it yourself at the table; it arrives unseasoned by design.
- Add a spoon of kkakdugi brine to the broth — standard practice and it works.
- Suyuk (sliced boiled beef) is the order that upgrades the visit if you're not in a hurry.
- Weekday lunch is packed with office workers; just after 1pm the room clears out.
