🦪 Hearty, Warming Oyster Soup in Chungmuro: Kim Myeong-ja Gulgukbap
Kim Myeong-ja Gulgukbap (Chungmuro Branch) is a classic Korean eatery specializing in deeply comforting broth dishes, from oyster soups and rice cake stews to herbal duck hot pots.
If you're exploring Seoul and craving a soul-soothing, satisfying meal, head into the vibrant alleys near Euljiro 3-ga Station to find this local gem.
Their main highlight is the signature oyster soup—a savory, sea-fresh broth filled with plump oysters. You can also customize your bowl with fulvescens seaweed (maesaengi) or tender rice cakes.
