Jung-gu · Da-dong / Dried pollack soup

Mukyodong Bugeoguk-jip

무교동북어국집

Running since 1968 in the old Mukyo-dong office district, this single-menu restaurant serves the mild, clear pollack soup Seoul office workers turn to as a gentle hangover cure. It opens early and is built for a quick, quiet meal rather than a leisurely dinner.
