Yeonji Minmul Maeuntang Kalguksu (연지민물매운탕칼국수)

Meogeultende’s reviewHighly recommended

“The catfish and bagasari maeuntang has a rich broth with a taste hard to find in Seoul”

• Catfish + bagasari maeuntang (spicy freshwater fish stew)BestRich broth and tender fish meat
• Fried freshwater shrimpTastes like premium shrimp chips
• Kimchi-jeon (kimchi pancake, complimentary)A freebie from the owner, not on the menu

Atmosphere

A neighborhood favorite where 90% of customers are over 50

Service

The owner gave kimchi-jeon as a freebie

Would return

Wanted to feature it before the year is over

Good for

Drinking with soju, first-timers to freshwater maeuntang

Tips

• Eat the minari (water dropwort) first before it gets tough
• Adding hairy crab makes the broth even better
• If the broth reduces, refill it
