Bangadari Gamjaguk (방아다리감자국)

Kim Sawon’s reviewHighly recommended

“The gamja-guk with ugeoji (dried napa greens) and potatoes is mild, and the meat is chewy”

• Gamja-guk (pork bone and potato soup)BestMild broth, chewy meat, well-cooked potatoes

Hours

Mainly lunch; closes before dinner

Atmosphere

Nostalgic old-school eatery where sharing tables is the norm

Service

Sit down without ordering and a bowl is served right away

Good for

Hangover cure, gukbap (soup with rice) lovers, a Jongno food tour

Tips

• Gamja-guk is the only item on the menu
• Mostly open for lunch, so go early
• The side dishes are quite salty, so eat them with rice
