Yonggeumok

Our favourite place to eat in our entire trip to Seoul! Will definitely be back. The entrance feels like a secret pathway into someone’s home. The food was absolutely filled with oldworld charm. We had vege broth and fried eel. It was like a Korean grandmother raised me and nourished me till I became a full grown man in a span of 20 minutes. You need this.

A very decent place for chuuhtang. They have two types of chuuhtang: Seoul and Namdo, the former is the spicier. First time, I tried the Seoul version. Overall a decent take on the dish. I just don't like, however, the extra stuff they put in the dish that takes it away from the traditional flavor...mushrooms and intestines. Should be simply the mikuraji and cabbage. Few weeks later, I went back to try the Namdo version. SUPER! One of the best versions. Make sure to add enough scallions, green peppers, wild sesame, Sancho powder, and lastly, diced garlic. The best Korean comfort food. Few things to note: There is another Yong-Geum-Og restaurant in Jung-gu, which is run by a relative. But the food there can't compare. This store has the Michelin Star and the original food.

The 70 years old restaurant, had only 3 menus which is namdo style fish soup(the grind fish soup) , Seoul style fish soup ( you can should whole fish or grind fish). Seoul style a bit spicy, whole fish you can feel a tiny bone if you doesn't like that kind of feeling should order grind fish instead. The side dishes was good taste, the deep fried fish was very good.

Long history and specialty menu probably made this place a Michelin pick for several years. Korean folk food but made it agreeable by foreigners is my opinion of this restaurant's success. My visa card doesn't charge the transaction fee, but there was ~3% credit card surcharge by this restaurant without any mention of it. The highest surcharge so far in Korea.

The restaurant is as delicious as it is known as bib gourmand. But if you go only with male, you will eat an out of date rice.

special and traditional food and very friendly staff here

오래된 추탕/추어탕집. 1930년대에 시작해서 지금까지 이어져온 가게이다. 서울식 추어탕과 남도식 추어탕이 있는데 서울식 추어탕은 매콤하고 유부, 목이버섯, 느타리버섯 등이 들어가서 추어탕보다 육개장 같은 느낌이 든다. 남도식 추어탕은 한국인이 흔히 생각하는 추어탕의 형태로 맵지않고 미꾸라지를 갈아 넣었다. 반찬도 맛있고, 추어탕의 간도 적절하게 잘 맞아 입에 잘 맞는다.
