MealFood & marketsIndoor

Beef short-rib soup, or galbitang, is the specialty: a clear, deeply savory broth with big pieces of tender meat, served with rice and kimchi. Portions are generous and easy to share, so it works for a parent and child or two friends splitting a bowl plus rice. It is a mild dish with no special chili heat, and the setting is a straightforward family restaurant near the Bomun entrance.

Prices may change, and cards are accepted. Parking is on site. Come in the morning or early lunch when the broth is freshest, and avoid the evening rush if you can.

Order by pointing at the menu if the staff speak little English.
