Mapo-gu · Hapjeong-dong / beef bone gomtang specialist

Hapjeongok

합정옥

A Michelin Bib Gourmand pick for seven years running, this second-floor dining room near Hapjeong station serves a milky, slow-simmered beef broth that is deceptively simple and consistently well made. It makes an easy, filling stop between the cafes of nearby Mangwon and Yeonnam-dong.
