Why here
Chanyangjip serves exactly two things, both ₩9,000: haemul kalguksu — hand-cut wheat noodles in a broth built on clams and mussels — and handmade dumplings. The dining room is tiny and well worn, with a plastic bowl set out on each table for the shells. It sits right at the entrance to the Ikseon-dong alleys, a few minutes from Jongno 3-ga station.
