A Delightful Visit to Chaewon Gamjatang
Hello!
This is Taetae Mom.
Today is filled with the warmth of spring!
I suddenly craved a warm bowl of soup.
The sunshine is lovely,
and the gentle breeze is refreshing.
I visited a popular restaurant near Singeumho Station.
This time, I went to the famous Chaewon Gamjatang,
where even Sung Si-kyung has eaten!
Even on a weekday, I saw people lining up,
and I thought, 'Wow, this place is legit.'
In the warm atmosphere of spring,
after enjoying a hot bowl of gamjatang,
I felt both my body and heart filled with warmth.
Location and Parking Tips
Chaewon Gamjatang is located near Singeumho Station,
making it very accessible.
Even though it’s in an alley,
the continuous flow of customers gives it a long-established neighborhood restaurant vibe.
I recommend using a nearby public parking lot.
Due to the alley's characteristics, parking right in front of the restaurant can be challenging,
so public transport or public parking is more convenient.
However, please check the day-of-the-week parking regulations!
Even though I arrived at 11 AM for the opening,
the place was already full!
I thought, 'I need to hurry because it's famous!'
But it was already packed,
so I ended up waiting about 30 minutes to get in.
While waiting,
the line kept getting longer!
It's truly impressive!
This definitely confirms the popularity of Chaewon Gamjatang!
I highly recommend arriving right at opening time.
Interior Ambiance
Inside, the space is smaller than expected,
but it has a cozy atmosphere and is quiet.
It embodies the unique charm of an old neighborhood restaurant.
There's a comforting and warm feeling that makes the food taste even better.
Starting with the Side Dishes
Once seated,
the clean and simple side dishes are served.
✔ Crunchy peppers
✔ Cubed radish kimchi
Here's an important rule!
You must eat the peppers as soon as they arrive.
Is it just me?
They're so fresh and crunchy,
they really awaken your taste buds.
The cubed radish kimchi!!!
You know a good soup restaurant has great kimchi, right?
It's perfectly fermented, refreshing, and full of umami,
so I kept reaching for more.
Finally, the gamjatang arrived!
The long-awaited gamjatang is here!
The visual is a winner!
A large bone is submerged in the broth,
and the aroma is already amazing.
The moment I took a spoonful,
the rich and deep flavor of the broth
instantly warmed my insides.
Instead of being overly stimulating,
you can really taste the long hours of simmering.
The meat clinging to the bones was incredible.
The meat is plentiful and tender,
and the more you chew, the more nutty flavor comes out,
making you want to keep picking at it.
Dipped in the broth,
it’s truly a rice thief!
Eating it with warm rice makes this combination unbeatable.
Mixing the rice with the broth and topping it with cubed radish kimchi,
at that moment, I felt like the happiest person in the world.
Why do I keep thinking about this taste?
As I left, it kept coming to mind.
"Why is it so delicious?!"
The perfectly balanced broth,
generous meat portions,
and the warm atmosphere
might be the reason.
Final Thoughts
✔ A must-visit popular spot
✔ Rich and deep broth flavor
✔ Tender and generous meat
✔ Perfect cubed radish kimchi
✔ Cozy neighborhood restaurant vibe
It was a perfect and satisfying meal.
