This time I got to enjoy rich, deep bone soup together with a nutty, filling beef tartare bibimbap, so the meal was extra satisfying.

A hearty Korean restaurant near Jincheon-dong, Daegu

When you're deciding on lunch or dinner near Jincheon-dong, even your everyday meals can get a little boring, right? That's when hot soup dishes like gamjatang or bone soup come to mind.

At a gamjatang restaurant, the broth matters, but so does how tender the meat is, whether the portion is enough, and how filling it is with rice.

These dishes are great for a solo meal, and also for going with family or friends so everyone can pick what they want.

What's at the Samsol Gamjatang self-serve bar?

The self-serve bar at Samsol Gamjatang has kkakdugi (cubed radish kimchi) and kimchi for refills, plus chili peppers too~!!

How much meat is in the bone soup at Samsol Gamjatang?

The first dish I want to introduce is the bone soup. With bone soup, you really only feel like you're eating it properly once you've had a spoonful of that hot broth first. Add rice to the rich broth and you've got a filling meal.

And of course, the fun of picking the meat off the bones is part of it. You pull off the meat clinging to each bone and eat it with the broth, and before you know it a bowl of rice has vanished.

Eating the meat and broth, then dropping rice into the soup partway through, gives you a different kind of charm. For soup lovers, it's a familiar dish that's welcome any time, I think.

It's perfect for hangover days, but also for lunchtime when you want to fill up properly.

The bones were seriously, seriously huge. These days it's rare to find a place with this much meat for ₩10,000, haha

Nutty beef tartare bibimbap at Samsol Gamjatang

The dish that goes well with the bone soup at Samsol Gamjatang is the beef tartare bibimbap (yukhoe bibimbap, mixed rice with raw seasoned beef). It has a different charm from a hot soup dish, so having both widens your options.

You put fresh beef tartare and various toppings on rice and mix it all together, and the ingredients blend into a rich flavor.

With beef tartare bibimbap, the balance between the texture of the beef and the nutty seasoning matters most. Add the crunch of vegetables and the whole bowl gets even tastier.

At first you taste each ingredient on its own, then mix the seasoning and rice evenly, and it all comes together even better.

Even if one person prefers a brothy dish like bone soup and another likes something clean and simple like bibimbap, I think everyone can choose to their own taste when going together.

From lunch to a hearty dinner near Jincheon-dong

Gamjatang and bone soup aren't just for special occasions; they're comfortable Korean dishes for everyday life. If you're looking for a place to eat near Jincheon-dong, a soup specialist like Samsol Gamjatang can be a good option.

When you want a hot broth to fill you up, go for the bone soup; when you want a nutty, clean one-bowl meal, pick the beef tartare bibimbap.
