Why here
A well-worn ox-bone hangover soup counter near Ewha Womans University, simmering sobbyeo-haejangguk from beef bones for hours and serving it with house-made kimchi. The small, four-table room also does sundae-guk, and solo diners eating at the counter are a regular sight. Featured on Kim Three Meals (김사원세끼).
