FROM OTHER DINERS
After doing our homework on which samgyetang restaurant stood out in Seoul, we decided to visit this place to try their famous ginseng chicken soup. Unfortunately, it was a disappointing experience. The soup tasted very bland, with almost no ginseng flavor at all. What upset us
I would come back here a million times if I could!!! Seriously the best spot for authentic samgyetang. Hot soup on a hot summer day surprisingly hits. I got the black chicken soup and it literally changed my life. The broth is so clean, light, and flavorful without being heavy.
Eat a bowl and drink all the soup.. you will be able to gain strength to shopping whole day in Myeongdong. The ginseng taste is not too strong, soup might be too plain to most.
