Dakhanmari and Ilsan Kalguksu

This chicken restaurant sits behind Samil Building in Gwancheol-dong, a five-minute walk from Jonggak Station. The menu centers on dakhanmari and chicken kalguksu, and in summer it serves kongguksu made with real beans, limited to 100 bowls a day. For dakhanmari, you eat the tteok first once the pot boils, then dip the chicken in a special sauce, and you can add fresh noodles at the end of the meal. The restaurant uses both the first and second floors on its own, so seats are plentiful even when lunch is busy.
