Step into (korean – 큰맘할매순대국 후암동점) at 후암로 43-3 and brace yourself for a flavor explosion! Forget fancy, this is honest-to-goodness Korean comfort food at its finest. The star, of course, is the sundae guk (순대국), a pork-based soup teeming with Korean blood sausage (sundae), offal, and a generous helping of perilla seed powder. Don't be intimidated! Each spoonful is a warm hug of savory, slightly spicy goodness. The broth is deeply flavorful, clearly simmered for hours, and the sundae is surprisingly delicate. Add a dollop of gochujang (Korean chili paste) for an extra kick. Beyond the sundae guk, their other dishes like bossam (boiled pork belly) looked equally tempting. This isn’t just a meal; it’s an experience, a taste of real Korea. Arrive hungry!

Escape the Myeongdong bustle and discover pure comfort at Myeongdong Samgyetang (명동삼계탕), nestled at 명동8가길 43. Imagine: stepping into a haven where the aroma of ginseng and tender chicken fills the air. Forget your shopping bags; it's time for Samgyetang! This isn't just chicken soup; it's a Korean elixir. Each spoonful is an explosion of flavor – rich, herbal broth, melt-in-your-mouth chicken, and a surprise of glutinous rice hidden inside. The banchan (side dishes) are perfect complements, adding a tangy, spicy kick to the soothing main event. Seriously, the kimchi alone is worth the trip! I left feeling refreshed, revitalized, and completely smitten. Myeongdong Samgyetang isn't just a meal; it's an experience. Highly recommend! Come hungry!
