Samgeori Maeuntang (삼거리매운탕)

Dulcinea’s reviewHighly recommended

“The sweet freshwater shrimp stew is savory and not fishy”

• Saeu Maeuntang (spicy shrimp stew)BestSweet shrimp, wilted cabbage greens (ugeoji) and perilla powder make it delicious
• Sotbap (cauldron rice)Great as nurungji (scorched rice) for a nutty, savory finish

Wait

About 20 minutes to prepare the cauldron rice

Reservations

Many locals order by phone and then come to pick up or dine

Would return

Has become a personal favorite

Good for

A restorative, health-boosting meal

Tips

• Call ahead to order and arrive at the right time
• When the cauldron rice arrives, move the rice to a bowl right away and pour hot water into the pot to make nurungji (scorched rice soup)
