Tanbaek is a Korean restaurant between City Hall Station and the Deoksugung stone-wall road, serving gom kalguksu and yukgaejang kalguksu. The gom kalguksu centers on a clear, rich Hanwoo beef broth and chewy noodles, while the summer-only kong bibim kalguksu includes kongjang, heugimja, and chamoe. The space is divided into a first and second floor, and reserving through CatchTable puts the reservation name on the table. On Saturday lunchtimes a wait forms at the entrance even at an early hour.
