Gamjatang is a hearty stew made from pork spine bones, potato and perilla leaves, simmered in a spicy broth. This shop in Seongsu has long served the dish in individual pots for sharing, with soft meat that falls off the bone, and its reputation draws a steady stream of regulars. The broth is peppery and warming, and a bowl of rice is a standard partner.
If you are sensitive to heat, ask for it less spicy. Tables are simple and the service is quick. The stew is best on a cold day.
The restaurant may close one day a week, and prices can change.
Seongsu Station (성수역), Line 2, is a short walk. The restaurant is in a small street near the station.
