The writer went in craving an old-school, Western-style pork cutlet and ordered the Jeju handmade pork cutlet and the bone hangover soup at ₩12,000 each; the sauce-covered cutlet was good, but the meaty bone soup and homemade kimchi won them over.

I went out yesterday in short sleeves and got a real shock 🌀 Today I'm introducing Chomu Gamjatang (초무 감자탕), a gamjatang, braised pork bone and pork cutlet spot near Yangjaesiminuisup Station! For a while now I'd been craving a juicy, old-school Korean-style pork cutlet (gyeongyangsik donkatsu) drenched in sauce. Japanese katsu is great, but you need the old-school kind once in a while too. So I went for the cutlet, and came back obsessed with the bone soup instead 🥹 If you want something hot and soupy, I recommend Chomu Gamjatang in Yangjae. ## Chomu Gamjatang location, hours and menu prices Chomu Gamjatang is at 59 Nonhyeon-ro, 1st floor, Seocho-gu, Seoul, about 900 m from Exit 2 of Yangjaesiminuisup Station.

One person leaves, another walks in, so you can tell it's a popular place. ## Side dishes and how to order at Chomu Gamjatang ![Menu, wasabi soy sauce and bone bowl at Chomu Gamjatang](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-cutlet-bone-hangover-soup-chomu/yangjae-cutlet-bone-hangover-soup-chomu-05-749vd-966.webp) The table comes set with a menu, a wasabi and soy sauce for dipping the meat, and a bowl for the bones. ![Basic side dishes of kkakdugi and kimchi at Chomu Gamjatang](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-cutlet-bone-hangover-soup-chomu/yangjae-cutlet-bone-hangover-soup-chomu-06-1nhzd-900.webp) ![Basic table setting with rice and water at Chomu Gamjatang](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-cutlet-bone-hangover-soup-chomu/yangjae-cutlet-bone-hangover-soup-chomu-07-193e8-900.webp) As soon as I sat down, they brought kkakdugi (cubed radish kimchi), kimchi, a bowl of rice and a bottle of water! You order by telling the owner. I ordered two dishes: bone hangover soup (₩12,000) and Jeju handmade pork cutlet (₩12,000) 🧾 ![Homemade kimchi and rice at Chomu Gamjatang](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-cutlet-bone-hangover-soup-chomu/yangjae-cutlet-bone-hangover-soup-chomu-08-1fa9g-900.webp) ### Why the homemade kimchi at Chomu Gamjatang is a must-try While waiting for the food, I tried a bite of the kimchi the owner had put out, with some rice... and the kimchi here is sooo good 🩵 They make it in-house. If you visit Chomu Gamjatang, please eat the kimchi. There's a self-serve bar too, so you can take as much more as you like. ## What is the Jeju handmade pork cutlet (₩12,000) like? ![A plate of Jeju handmade old-school pork cutlet at Chomu Gamjatang](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-cutlet-bone-hangover-soup-chomu/yangjae-cutlet-bone-hangover-soup-chomu-09-bramf-877.webp) The Jeju handmade pork cutlet at Chomu Gamjatang is ₩12,000 and comes as two medium-sized cutlets in the old-school style. The old-school cutlet I wanted so badly arrived 🍽️ Yes... this is it... What caught my eye first was that you get two cutlets. Two medium pieces meant more food and they were easier to eat, which I liked :) The rice comes separately as a bowl of steamed rice. The cabbage + ketchup + mayonnaise combo was tasty too, and they gave plenty of corn, so as a corn lover I enjoyed it a lot. ![Cross-section of handmade pork cutlet made from Jeju loin](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-cutlet-bone-hangover-soup-chomu/yangjae-cutlet-bone-hangover-soup-chomu-10-qer7c-900.webp) They say they make the cutlets by hand every morning from Jeju pork loin. Maybe because of all that care, the cutlet was very tender and delicious. ![Old-school pork cutlet generously covered in sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-cutlet-bone-hangover-soup-chomu/yangjae-cutlet-bone-hangover-soup-chomu-11-1l8cm-900.webp) Sometimes you feel there isn't enough sauce on a cutlet, but Chomu Gamjatang gives you a really generous amount! It was textbook old-school cutlet sauce 🤍 If you're looking for nostalgic old-school pork cutlet, definitely order it at Chomu Gamjatang :) ## Chomu Gamjatang bone hangover soup (₩12,000): portion and flavor ![Chomu Gamjatang bone hangover soup served in an earthenware pot](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-cutlet-bone-hangover-soup-chomu/yangjae-cutlet-bone-hangover-soup-chomu-12-1njru-900.webp) The bone hangover soup at Chomu Gamjatang is ₩12,000 and comes in an earthenware pot, with about 4-5 meaty bones in it. Honestly I hadn't planned to order it, but I figured I couldn't leave a gamjatang place without tasting the broth, so after a bit of hesitation I ordered it. And I'm so glad I did,, 🥹 It comes in the earthenware pot, so the broth stays hot the whole time you eat. ![Bone soup pot topped with perilla leaves](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-cutlet-bone-hangover-soup-chomu/yangjae-cutlet-bone-hangover-soup-chomu-13-e0d9o-900.webp) ![Meaty bones and siraegi in the bone soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-cutlet-bone-hangover-soup-chomu/yangjae-cutlet-bone-hangover-soup-chomu-14-1agjw-900.webp) Lift the perilla leaves on top and there are bones with plenty of solid meat on them. There was a good amount of siraegi (dried radish greens) too, which I loved (the siraegi was really good). I think there were about 4-5 bones. That much for ₩12,000 is pretty great, right?! ![Tender pork bone meat lifted out of the bone soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-cutlet-bone-hangover-soup-chomu/yangjae-cutlet-bone-hangover-soup-chomu-15-19xvz-966.webp) The meat was tender and soft 🌟 Lots of meat and great flavor! They say the broth is made from bones boiled fresh every morning. ![Eating the bone soup meat together with the broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-cutlet-bone-hangover-soup-chomu/yangjae-cutlet-bone-hangover-soup-chomu-16-1ss9c-900.webp) ![Bone soup meat topped with kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-cutlet-bone-hangover-soup-chomu/yangjae-cutlet-bone-hangover-soup-chomu-17-1eou0-900.webp) ### Best way to eat the meat in the bone hangover soup I tried the meat with the broth, with the soy-wasabi sauce, and with kimchi··· all really good. Like I said before, everyone, the kimchi at Chomu Gamjatang is seriously good, so please try it together with the meat. ![View outside from the window seat at Chomu Gamjatang](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-cutlet-bone-hangover-soup-chomu/yangjae-cutlet-bone-hangover-soup-chomu-18-nvl8r-900.webp) I was shown to a window seat, so I ate while enjoying this lovely view :) ![Meal at a window seat in Chomu Gamjatang](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-cutlet-bone-hangover-soup-chomu/yangjae-cutlet-bone-hangover-soup-chomu-19-evnce-900.webp) ## Verdict: came for pork cutlet, fell for the bone soup at Chomu Gamjatang I went craving old-school pork cutlet and left having had a really delicious bone soup: that was my Chomu Gamjatang visit.
