Why here
Aeseonghoegwan has been simmering hanwoo (100%-domestic Korean beef) bone broth into gomtang from this Bukchang-dong storefront since 2003, running a strict one-dish-per-person policy that keeps its small dining room turning over fast. Office workers from nearby City Hall and Myeong-dong pack in at lunch, drawn by the clear, milky broth alongside suyuk and cold soybean noodle soup in summer. Featured on Kim Three Meals (김사원세끼).
