Ordering the bone haejangguk (special), galbitang (special) and grilled bulgogi together, the bone haejangguk came piled with so much meat the bones barely showed, and the galbitang broth tasted deep without any added pepper. With plenty of single dishes and grilled meat beyond gamjatang, Nuri Maeul Gamjatang Itaewon Branch works well for a group with mixed tastes. ## Good to know - **Location**: 2nd floor, 176 Itaewon-ro, Yongsan-gu, Seoul, 1 min walk from Itaewon Station Exit 4 - **Hours**: Open 24 hours, every day of the year - **Dishes ordered**: Bone haejangguk (special), galbitang (special), grilled bulgogi - **Side dishes**: Cheongyang chili peppers, radish kimchi, napa cabbage kimchi / robot serving plus self-serve refill bar - **Venue rental**: Full rental from 60 people, partial rental from 40 people - **Parking**: No on-site parking; paid lots nearby - **Review event**: Free sujebi (hand-torn dough) or ramen noodle add-in for a Naver review *as written by the visitor on Sep 5, 2026* ![Introductory image of Nuri Maeul Gamjatang Itaewon Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/itaewon-nurimaeul-pork-bone-soup-galbitang/itaewon-nurimaeul-pork-bone-soup-galbitang-01-1060n-966.webp) ## A 24-hour gamjatang restaurant right by Itaewon Station: Nuri Maeul Gamjatang Itaewon gamjatang (pork bone stew) spot: Nuri Maeul Gamjatang Itaewon Branch. I had plans in Itaewon, which is always packed with people, and heard a 24-hour gamjatang restaurant with lines out the door had just opened right in front of Itaewon Station — so I ran straight over. ![Sign about the 22-year-old gamjatang brand Nuri Maeul Gamjatang](https://img.superchart.com/images/itaewon-nurimaeul-pork-bone-soup-galbitang/itaewon-nurimaeul-pork-bone-soup-galbitang-02-zacgu-966.webp) It's a gamjatang specialty brand with 22 years of history, which makes it feel even more trustworthy. The secret seasoning and hearty broth are apparently the hook that's kept people coming back for years— ### Finding Nuri Maeul Gamjatang Itaewon Branch on the 2nd floor It's just a 1-minute walk from Itaewon Station Exit 4, so accessibility is excellent. The restaurant is on the 2nd floor of the building! ![Entrance to the 2nd-floor restaurant near Itaewon Station Exit 4](https://img.superchart.com/images/itaewon-nurimaeul-pork-bone-soup-galbitang/itaewon-nurimaeul-pork-bone-soup-galbitang-03-13prg-966.webp) ![Stairs leading up to the 2nd floor of Nuri Maeul Gamjatang Itaewon Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/itaewon-nurimaeul-pork-bone-soup-galbitang/itaewon-nurimaeul-pork-bone-soup-galbitang-04-1cnil-966.webp) ![Exterior of the 24-hour gamjatang restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/itaewon-nurimaeul-pork-bone-soup-galbitang/itaewon-nurimaeul-pork-bone-soup-galbitang-05-4i5bl-966.webp) ## Interior, group seating and rental conditions at Nuri Maeul Gamjatang The interior of Nuri Maeul Gamjatang Itaewon Branch is clean and pleasant. Even though it was well past lunchtime, there were still plenty of customers, but the staff handled everyone efficiently and quickly, so the meal felt relaxed. ![Interior seating with wood and white tones](https://img.superchart.com/images/itaewon-nurimaeul-pork-bone-soup-galbitang/itaewon-nurimaeul-pork-bone-soup-galbitang-06-33ysr-m-966.webp) ![Spacious hall seating suitable for group gatherings](https://img.superchart.com/images/itaewon-nurimaeul-pork-bone-soup-galbitang/itaewon-nurimaeul-pork-bone-soup-galbitang-07-152x1-m-966.webp) The space feels neatly arranged — a modern mix of wood and white that's well balanced. The restaurant is spacious too, so it looks like a good spot for group gatherings. Venue rental is available too! Full rental for 60 or more people, partial rental for 40 or more. ### Robot serving and the self-serve side dish bar A robot brings the basic side dishes to your table, and if you need more, you can help yourself to water and refills at the self-serve bar. ![Basic side dishes delivered by robot server](https://img.superchart.com/images/itaewon-nurimaeul-pork-bone-soup-galbitang/itaewon-nurimaeul-pork-bone-soup-galbitang-08-1bz0v-966.webp) ![Self-serve bar for water and side dish refills](https://img.superchart.com/images/itaewon-nurimaeul-pork-bone-soup-galbitang/itaewon-nurimaeul-pork-bone-soup-galbitang-09-1et4z-966.webp) Cheongyang chili, radish kimchi, napa kimchi — simple, no-frills side dishes! For parking, you'll need to use a paid lot nearby (no on-site parking). Itaewon subway station is right out front too, so coming on foot would be even more convenient. ## Ordering bone haejangguk (special), galbitang (special) and grilled bulgogi Nuri Maeul Gamjatang takes pride in its rich broth simmered for over 6 hours! We ordered three dishes: the bone haejangguk (special), galbitang (special), and bulgogi. (I was starving that day, so it turned into a bit of a feast, haha.) Even though it's a gamjatang specialty restaurant, there's a wide range of single dishes, meat menus, plus various noodle add-ins and fried rice, so everyone can find something they like regardless of preference. ![A spread of bone haejangguk special, galbitang special, and grilled bulgogi](https://img.superchart.com/images/itaewon-nurimaeul-pork-bone-soup-galbitang/itaewon-nurimaeul-pork-bone-soup-galbitang-10-1sgnh-966.webp) ![Bone haejangguk bowl piled high with meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/itaewon-nurimaeul-pork-bone-soup-galbitang/itaewon-nurimaeul-pork-bone-soup-galbitang-11-prliu-966.webp) ![Close-up of the rich bone haejangguk broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/itaewon-nurimaeul-pork-bone-soup-galbitang/itaewon-nurimaeul-pork-bone-soup-galbitang-12-117tw-966.webp) ### Bone haejangguk so piled with meat the bones barely show The bone haejangguk lived up to what I'd heard — just looking at it, the broth was intensely rich and the bowl was piled so full it looked ready to spill over. The meat was tender and fell off the bone easily, and the deep broth soaked into it well, making this a dish that cures a hangover while also inviting you to drink again. There was so much meat on the bones that you couldn't even see them — just pure happiness. ### Grilled bulgogi full of smoky flavor The grilled bulgogi arrived full of smoky char! You could smell that grilled aroma wafting up even before the plate was set down, and the portion was generous for the price. ![A plate of smoky grilled bulgogi](https://img.superchart.com/images/itaewon-nurimaeul-pork-bone-soup-galbitang/itaewon-nurimaeul-pork-bone-soup-galbitang-13-1y2r4-966.webp) ![Spicy grilled bulgogi topped with cheongyang chili](https://img.superchart.com/images/itaewon-nurimaeul-pork-bone-soup-galbitang/itaewon-nurimaeul-pork-bone-soup-galbitang-14-19b0u-966.webp) ![Grilled bulgogi wrapped in perilla leaves](https://img.superchart.com/images/itaewon-nurimaeul-pork-bone-soup-galbitang/itaewon-nurimaeul-pork-bone-soup-galbitang-15-14jvm-966.webp) Toss in as much cheongyang chili as you like for a spicy version, and wrapping it in perilla leaves makes it even more special — a salty-style bulgogi. ### Galbitang (special): deep broth with no pepper needed I ordered the galbitang without high expectations, but the broth was really refreshing, and it came with several small rib bones that were easy to pick clean without cutting. ![Galbitang special with several small rib bones](https://img.superchart.com/images/itaewon-nurimaeul-pork-bone-soup-galbitang/itaewon-nurimaeul-pork-bone-soup-galbitang-16-1cp6m-966.webp) Normally I need to dump in pepper like it's a pepper soup for galbitang to satisfy me, but Nuri Maeul's galbitang was plenty deep and flavorful just as served! ## Naver review event and who Nuri Maeul Gamjatang suits Write a Naver review and they'll give you sujebi or ramen noodle add-ins! - Anyone looking for a good gamjatang restaurant in Itaewon - Anyone who wants to eat other dishes alongside gamjatang - Anyone looking for a 24-hour restaurant in Itaewon ## Nuri Maeul Gamjatang Itaewon Branch: address, hours and parking Nuri Maeul Gamjatang Itaewon Branch is located on the 2nd floor at 128-3 Itaewon-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul, and is open 24 hours a day, every day. ![Location and hours of Nuri Maeul Gamjatang Itaewon Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/itaewon-nurimaeul-pork-bone-soup-galbitang/itaewon-nurimaeul-pork-bone-soup-galbitang-17-u5hk4-1200.webp) ## Where it is - Nuri Maeul Gamjatang Itaewon Branch (누리마을감자탕 이태원점) - 176 Itaewon-ro, 2nd floor, Yongsan-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 용산구 이태원로 176 2층 - 37.534267, 126.9934356 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%88%84%EB%A6%AC%EB%A7%88%EC%9D%84%EA%B0%90%EC%9E%90%ED%83%95%20%EC%9D%B4%ED%83%9C%EC%9B%90%EC%A0%90/@37.534267,126.9934356,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@chopstick-sleeve/itaewon-nurimaeul-pork-bone-soup-galbitang/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
