Hwamyeongdang Malatang

Hwamyeongdang Maratang is a Chinese noodle shop near Ewha Womans University that serves malatang and single-serving hot pot. The broth is clean and nutty, with bone and garlic notes rather than strong mala aroma or heat. You pick ingredients from the bar, and the kitchen boils them into a soup served in a bowl. The space is small with only a few tables, and the lunch line runs long.
