Gamjatang (pork-spine stew)

Gamjatang is a stew of pork spine and potato, simmered for hours in a spicy broth — the name is easy to misread, since gamja means potato, but the dish is built around the bone, not the vegetable. Seven of the eight listings here fall under Gukbap & Hot Soups, with one crossing into Grilled Meat & K-BBQ.

Five to start with

  1. Somunnan Seongsu Gamjatang Seongsu-dong · 감자탕 · under ₩15k — A 24-hour Seongsu-dong gamjatang shop known for its pork-spine and potato stew and a lighter single-serving gamjaguk bowl, with dedicated solo seating that lets single diners skip the line entirely.
  2. Janggun Gulbossam Gwansu-dong · 굴보쌈 · ₩15–40k — A long-running spot in Jongno 3-ga's boiled-pork-wrap alley, known for its oyster bossam (gulbossam) alongside stir-fried squid and pork-spine soup.

Locations are spread one-per-neighborhood: Seongsu-dong, Daehangno, Seorae Village, Guui, and Jongno 6-ga each register a single entry. Pricing leans cheap — 5 of 8 sit under ₩15,000, three in the ₩₩ band, none higher.

All eight listings are walk-in, and three sit off the tourist radar. No listing here carries official recognition, and the oldest dates to 1993 — the youngest baseline of any dish hub on this site.

Somunnan Seongsu Gamjatang runs 24 hours and offers dedicated solo seating that lets single diners skip the line entirely, while Bangadari Gamjaguk near Jongno serves a single dish — a pork-bone-and-potato soup simmered each morning in one pot until it runs out, usually by early afternoon.
