Established in 1939, Hadongkwan is a Myeong-dong institution renowned for its consistently delicious flavours. Its signature gomtang features a clean yet deeply savoury broth, generously filled with brisket, offal, and tripe. Served with rice warmed in the clear beef broth and topped with plenty of chopped scallions, it becomes a hearty meal best enjoyed alongside Seoul-style kkakdugi. This old-fashioned eatery opens early in the morning and closes when its soup vats run dry. Lines are expected during busy hours.
