Jung-gu · Sindang-dong / old-school sundae soup counter

Sindang Halmoni Sundaeguk

할머니순대국

A tiny, decades-old counter near Sindang Station where local regulars, many of them older neighborhood residents, gather for one of the cheapest hot meals left in central Seoul. The room is small and shared seating is normal, which is part of the old-Seoul atmosphere that has made it a minor local legend.
