Yangjae gamjatang restaurant with a fried rice finish: Chomu Gamjatang

Chomu Gamjatang is a Korean restaurant in Seocho, Seoul, at 59 Nonhyeon-ro, specialising in gamjatang (pork bone and potato stew) and ppyeojjim (steamed pork bones). On a weekday visit at noon, the order was a small gamjatang with two bowls of rice plus fried rice to finish; the stew arrived already long-simmered, so there was no wait, and the ugeoji (napa cabbage greens) are grown by the owner. With pork cutlets on the menu and mild spice, Chomu Gamjatang works well for a family meal with children.

Hongdae Korean restaurant with tablet ordering and 48-hour broth: Anok

Anok is a budget-friendly Korean restaurant in a hanok-style building down an alley near Hongik University Station in Mapo, Seoul. Orders for clear gomtang (beef bone soup), Pyongyang naengmyeon (cold buckwheat noodles) in broth, and braised pork tail were placed on a tablet, and the kkakdugi (radish kimchi) was good enough to warrant a refill before the food even arrived. Anok pairs a hanok atmosphere with broth that clearly took real care to make, making it a solid Hongdae find.
