Gyeongju · Namsan & Southwest · Meal

MealFood & marketsIndoor

Gomtang here is a clear, mild beef-bone soup, ladled over rice, with kimchi and radish on the side. It is a good choice for those who prefer non-spicy food, and it fits solo diners well, because a single bowl makes a full meal. Salt and spring onions are added to taste at the table.

Prices may change and cards are normally accepted. It is located in Chunghyo-dong, a bit out of the center, and a taxi is the easy way if you are not driving. Staff may speak little English, but the menu is short, so pointing is enough.

A parking lot is on site.
