If you looking for restaurants in Myeong-dong
you reading this Post!
Let's go!
Collaboration of Juicy Dumplings and Noodles!
Myeongdong Kyoja
Myeongdong Kyoja has become a landmark of Myeong-dong with its specialties of kalguksu (noodle soup) and mandu(dumplings) for the past 50 years. The hand-made, dough noodles and diced meat in chicken broth soup go splendidly well with the restaurant’s other specialty, mandu. The mandu is scrumptiously filled with meat and vegetables, oozing out juice in every bite. Myeong-dong Kyoja is also well known for their generous services as additional noodles and rice are provided free of charge upon request.
If you want to fully indulge yourself in kalguksu and mandu for a full flavor, try it together with the kimchi offered as a side dish. Kimchi marinated with hot pepper powder and garlic adds a stronger flavor to the soup.
A Hot Bowl of Chicken Soup to Nurture your Body!
Baekje Samgyetang
Baekje Samgyetang, as its name clearly states, specializes in samgyetang (ginseng chicken soup). The restaurant is especially well-known among Japanese and Chinese tourists; hence Japanese and Chinese speaking staff are always ready to assist. The restaurant’s specialty, samgyetang, is made of tender chicken boiled over a long period of time to broth with nutritious ingredients such as glutinous rice, garlic, chestnut, ginseng, jujube and more. The mouth-watering chicken goes well with the chewy texture of rice, and the healthy broth soup is too delicious to be left unfinished.
The ginseng liquor and chalbap (cooked glutinous rice) that come along with samgyetang are also notable. The alcohol made of ginseng, a well-known high-quality medicinal herb, goes so well with samgyetang that many people make a separate purchase of this impressive liquor. Chalbap has an interesting chewy texture different from regular cooked rice.
Specialized Expert of Gomtang for 70 Years!
Hadongkwan
Despite gomtang (bone soup) being the only menu available in Hadongkwan, people willingly wait in line for a hearty meal since its opening in 1939. Gomtang is a soup made of meat and bones boiled to broth for hours.
Hadongkwan’s gomtang includes beef and intestines, and its clean aftertaste is impressive. There are only two menus: regular soup with only beef in it and the special soup, which includes intestines that add a stronger savory taste. Gomtang is served with rice mixed into the soup along with kimchi on the side. You can add more flavors into the soup by adding in condiments prepared on the table such as diced spring onions, salt, and pepper to your preference.
The restaurant closes at 4 pm, but if you decide to visit Hadongkwan, don’t wait until the last minute as the restaurant can close earlier than scheduled if the ingredients run out.
Mouthwatering taste of Jirisan Mountain Black Pork!
Yuktongryeong
As a restaurant where one can get a taste of the famous Jirisan Mountain Black Pork in Seoul, Yuktongryeong is flourishing with customers every day, thanks to its appearance in the variety television show "The Demand of Luxurious Food." The most popular menu in this restaurant is grilled skin-on black pork. As its name implies, unlike the regular pork belly meat, skin-on pork belly is cut along with the skin to create a chewy texture.
Dipping the skin-on pork belly lightly in the salt is the best way to taste the original flavor of the meat itself. Enjoy the grill with the salad and side dishes served to clear out any after taste. Another popular menu, kimchi jjigae is also an excellent partner with the skin-on pork belly.
I hope you have a nice travel in South Korea.
Thank you for Reading.
