Jongno-gu is the historic heart of Seoul, containing Gyeongbokgung Palace, Bukchon Hanok Village, and Insadong's antique street. The area balances ancient and modern — traditional Korean restaurants, teahouses, and street food vendors operate alongside contemporary galleries and specialty coffee shops. Eating here feels like a connection to centuries of Seoul food culture.
Good place to have a thick garlic chicken soup with potatoes if you don't feel like having another kimchi dish. Owner told me the chicken was for 2 ppl but I was able to solo it as the chicken was not too big.
too rude, I feel bad. The facilities are old. the toilet is located outside, it's uncomfortable. I don't want to go twice.
The restaurant is filled with the enticing aroma of garlic, instantly making you hungry. Their Songane Dakhanmari features a whole, fresh chicken simmered to perfection, and it’s absolutely delicious. The dipping sauce includes chives and chili peppers, and when it mixes with the broth, it creates an incredible, indescribable flavor that fills your mouth. To finish, there’s fresh handmade noodles that soak up the broth beautifully, giving a chewy texture that’s so satisfying and delicious. The final surprise? The price. We ate until we were full, and it was only 10€ per person for two of us. Highly recommended!
