When we entered, pufferfish figurines and pufferfish cushions were the first things I noticed. ![Pufferfish decorations and atmosphere inside Bogi O Boguk](https://img.superchart.com/images/bokio-bokguk-cheongdam-clear-soup/bokio-bokguk-cheongdam-clear-soup-03-1mhr4-900.webp) ![Pufferfish figurines and cushion decorations at Bogi O Boguk](https://img.superchart.com/images/bokio-bokguk-cheongdam-clear-soup/bokio-bokguk-cheongdam-clear-soup-04-15utt-900.webp) ![Comfortable interior atmosphere at Bogi O Boguk in Cheongdam-dong](https://img.superchart.com/images/bokio-bokguk-cheongdam-clear-soup/bokio-bokguk-cheongdam-clear-soup-05-14zre-900.webp) The overall atmosphere was tidy and comfortable, so it seemed suitable for a family meal or a work lunch or dinner. We visited after the lunch rush and ate at a relaxed pace.

Along with bokguk, the menu included pufferfish sashimi, fried pufferfish, and course meals. The soup could be ordered with either a spicy or clear broth, and we chose the clear broth. ![Menu information for bokguk and pufferfish dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/bokio-bokguk-cheongdam-clear-soup/bokio-bokguk-cheongdam-clear-soup-07-10u5a-900.webp) ![Various pufferfish dish menu information at Bogi O Boguk](https://img.superchart.com/images/bokio-bokguk-cheongdam-clear-soup/bokio-bokguk-cheongdam-clear-soup-08-13bv2-900.webp) The side dishes were anchovies, kkakdugi (cubed radish kimchi), seasoned peppers, and stir-fried fish cake. ![Side dishes served with bokguk at Bogi O Boguk](https://img.superchart.com/images/bokio-bokguk-cheongdam-clear-soup/bokio-bokguk-cheongdam-clear-soup-09-ho2ag-900.webp) ![Side-dish selection served with the bokguk meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/bokio-bokguk-cheongdam-clear-soup/bokio-bokguk-cheongdam-clear-soup-10-5hs2q-900.webp) ![Wild milbok pufferfish soup meal at Bogi O Boguk](https://img.superchart.com/images/bokio-bokguk-cheongdam-clear-soup/bokio-bokguk-cheongdam-clear-soup-11-1besy-900.webp) The wild milbok pufferfish soup we ordered was ₩24,000 for 250 g. Made with domestic wild milbok pufferfish in a clear broth, it contained pufferfish, minari (water celery), and bean sprouts. It arrived bubbling in a ttukbaegi (earthenware pot). ![Milbok soup in an earthenware pot with minari and sprouts](https://img.superchart.com/images/bokio-bokguk-cheongdam-clear-soup/bokio-bokguk-cheongdam-clear-soup-12-15pwg-900.webp) ## How did the clear broth taste, and was the extra minari enough? From the first spoonful, the broth was mild, clean, and refreshing rather than strongly seasoned. It was light and refreshing enough that I kept reaching for more without feeling burdened. ![Mild clear broth of wild milbok pufferfish soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/bokio-bokguk-cheongdam-clear-soup/bokio-bokguk-cheongdam-clear-soup-13-10giu-900.webp) I like minari's fragrant flavor, so I ordered it separately. One extra portion was enough for the two of us to share, and we each added plenty to our soup. ![Extra minari added to milbok pufferfish soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/bokio-bokguk-cheongdam-clear-soup/bokio-bokguk-cheongdam-clear-soup-14-1eqtv-900.webp) ![Generous minari served with clear milbok soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/bokio-bokguk-cheongdam-clear-soup/bokio-bokguk-cheongdam-clear-soup-15-l93ba-900.webp) A bowl of hot white rice came with the meal. At the time of my visit, there was also a notice that a drink would be provided for writing a Naver receipt review. ![White rice served with Bogi O Boguk milbok soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/bokio-bokguk-cheongdam-clear-soup/bokio-bokguk-cheongdam-clear-soup-16-1po7b-900.webp) ## What were the pufferfish texture and accompanying sauces like? The pufferfish in the soup was well cooked, chewy, and mild. It had a pleasantly springy texture when I bit into it. ![Mild cooked pufferfish in clear milbok soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/bokio-bokguk-cheongdam-clear-soup/bokio-bokguk-cheongdam-clear-soup-17-u3uga-900.webp) The pufferfish was mild on its own, but dipping it in the house sauces—kelp soy sauce and cho-gochujang (sweet vinegared chili paste)—made it enjoyable in a different way. ![Pufferfish and accompaniments in Bogi O Boguk milbok soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/bokio-bokguk-cheongdam-clear-soup/bokio-bokguk-cheongdam-clear-soup-18-pe1up-900.webp) ![Wild milbok pufferfish enjoyed with sauces](https://img.superchart.com/images/bokio-bokguk-cheongdam-clear-soup/bokio-bokguk-cheongdam-clear-soup-19-1o8yw-900.webp) ![Kelp soy sauce and cho-gochujang for pufferfish](https://img.superchart.com/images/bokio-bokguk-cheongdam-clear-soup/bokio-bokguk-cheongdam-clear-soup-20-15iku-900.webp) ![Accompanying sauce enjoyed with milbok soup ingredients](https://img.superchart.com/images/bokio-bokguk-cheongdam-clear-soup/bokio-bokguk-cheongdam-clear-soup-21-1ilx3-900.webp) I also dipped the crisp minari and bean sprouts in the sauces. ![Minari and bean sprouts eaten with sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/bokio-bokguk-cheongdam-clear-soup/bokio-bokguk-cheongdam-clear-soup-22-1azea-1200.webp) ![Crisp minari and bean sprouts in milbok soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/bokio-bokguk-cheongdam-clear-soup/bokio-bokguk-cheongdam-clear-soup-23-1k8n9-900.webp) For me, it was a comfortable meal that did not leave me feeling heavy afterward. If you like a mild broth and springy pufferfish, I would recommend this flavor even to someone trying bokguk for the first time. ![Milbok soup meal enjoyed at Bogi O Boguk in Cheongdam-dong](https://img.superchart.com/images/bokio-bokguk-cheongdam-clear-soup/bokio-bokguk-cheongdam-clear-soup-24-1197y-900.webp) ## Where it is - Bogi-o Boguk (복이오복국) (복이오복국) - 540 Dosan-daero, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea (2F, Cheongdam Deokyeong Building) - 서울특별시 강남구 도산대로 540 청담 덕영빌딩 2층 - 37.524594, 127.0527876 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%B3%B5%EC%9D%B4%EC%98%A4%EB%B3%B5%EA%B5%AD/@37.524594,127.0527876,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@chopstick-rest-5/bokio-bokguk-cheongdam-clear-soup/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
