Craving authentic Korean comfort food near Gwanghwamun? Look no further than Bukchangdong Sundubu (북창동순두부 광화문점) located at 새문안로5길 5-3 2층! Forget everything you think you know about tofu – here, it's reborn in a fiery, bubbling cauldron of deliciousness. I opted for the classic seafood sundubu, and from the first spoonful, I was hooked. The broth was rich and intensely flavorful, brimming with tender tofu, plump shrimp, and savory clams. The perfectly cooked egg, cracked in just before serving, added a creamy richness that tied everything together.

But it's not just the sundubu that shines. The banchan (side dishes) were fresh, vibrant, and utterly addictive. The kimchi was perfectly fermented with just the right amount of spice, and the seasoned spinach offered a refreshing counterpoint to the fiery stew. The atmosphere is bustling and inviting, perfect for a quick lunch or a cozy dinner with friends. Be warned, though: this place is popular, so be prepared for a potential wait! Trust me, it’s worth it. This is a true taste of Korea! My only regret? Not ordering a second bowl. Highly recommended!
