Jung-gu · Namdaemun Market / large-format beef short rib soup hall

Namdaemun Daega

남대문 대가

A large, bright dining hall in the heart of Namdaemun Market with seating for over a hundred, this spot is built for the market's steady flow of shoppers and tour groups rather than a quiet meal. It's a dependable, filling stop near Seoul Station and the market's kitchenware and fabric alleys.
