About the Cuisine

Korean

Korean cuisine (hansik) is built around balance — fermented sides (banchan), a steaming bowl of rice, and a main dish that changes with the season. Meals are served all at once rather than in courses, and sharing dishes at the table is the norm. The depth of flavor comes from slow-fermented pastes like doenjang (soybean) and gochujang (chili), which form the backbone of soups, stews, and marinades across the country.

About the District

Dongjak-gu

Dongjak-gu spans the southern bank of the Han River, with Noryangjin Fish Market — one of Seoul's largest wholesale and retail seafood markets — as its defining food landmark. Eating fresh sashimi at the market itself, surrounded by tanks of live seafood, is a quintessential Seoul experience available around the clock.

This place is not a place with amazing taste. It's not seafood or perilla, so in some ways it's just ordinary kalguksu, but when you first take a sip of the broth, the seasoning is really well-balanced. It feels like well-seasoned tteokguk. However, if you eat it with sweet pickled kimchi, it starts to taste bland. However, if you add dadegi, you can taste a strange taste that is not ramen, but something you've never eaten before. I even drank the broth. Anyway, this place has its own unique taste. The staff is friendly. It's worth a visit.

This is a variation of Jeonju-style kalguksu, aka Veteran Kalguksu, which boils noodles in broth, mixes in egg, and tops it with perilla powder, red pepper powder, and dried laver flakes. Unlike Veteran Kalguksu, this kalguksu is sans red pepper powder and perilla powder. While the egg-based broth is savory and complements the dried laver flakes, it's a great combination. The kimchi, made with cabbage, is slightly sweet, but I suspect this flavor will be more popular. This restaurant's dadaegi (spicy rice) is excellent and a real highlight. Adding it to your liking complements and complements the slightly lacking flavor of the kalguksu. The price is also great, with free rice, so even large groups can enjoy their meal without feeling overwhelmed. The lack of break times is another major plus.

This is the egg kalguksu restaurant that was featured on the previous episode of Life's Master, The Hermit's Month. It moved from Jangseungbaegi Grandma's Kalguksu and changed its name.
