# Gamjatang restaurant near Sangye Station with a ramen finish: Somunnan - By Sohee Lim (https://superchart.com/en/@euljiro-tin-spoon-2/) - Written Sep 21, 2026 - Local places › Restaurants › Nowon, Seoul - Sponsored: This visit and meal were provided by the restaurant. - English edition: https://superchart.com/en/@euljiro-tin-spoon-2/sangye-station-gamjatang-ramen-noodle-finish/ - Also in: [한국어](https://superchart.com/ko/@euljiro-tin-spoon-2/sangye-station-gamjatang-ramen-noodle-finish/index.md) ## In short Somunnan Gamjatang is a pork bone stew and hangover soup restaurant of more than 30 years in Nowon, Seoul, a five-minute walk from Sangye Station Exit 2. The small gamjatang costs 36,000 won and comes with sujebi (hand-torn dough) to drop in yourself, and the meal ended with a 2,000 won ramen noodle add-on, for a total of 50,000 won with soju and beer. Plenty of ground perilla makes the broth nutty rather than spicy, so Somunnan Gamjatang works as both a proper meal and a drinking spot. ## Good to know - **Location**: 5-minute walk from Sangye Station Exit 2 (Line 4); Somunnan Gamjatang, Junggye main branch - **Gamjatang (small)**: 36,000 won - **Ramen noodle add-on**: 2,000 won - **Bowl of rice**: 1,000 won × 2 - **Soju and beer**: 5,000 won each - **Total paid**: 50,000 won - **Included**: Sujebi comes free with a gamjatang order; kimchi and kkakdugi refills - **Event**: Free soft drink for a receipt review - **Menu**: Gamjatang, braised pork bones, samgyetang, assorted haejangguk (hangover soups) *as written by the visitor on Sep 21, 2026* ![Signature gamjatang photo at Somunnan Gamjatang's Junggye main branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangye-station-gamjatang-ramen-noodle-finish/sangye-station-gamjatang-ramen-noodle-finish-01-1hri0-m-1200.webp) Somunnan Gamjatang / Nowon restaurant · Sangye Station gamjatang ![Table setting at the Sangye Station gamjatang restaurant Somunnan Gamjatang](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangye-station-gamjatang-ramen-noodle-finish/sangye-station-gamjatang-ramen-noodle-finish-02-ioofn-966.webp) I'm a certified Korean food lover among my friends! Haejangguk (hangover soup) especially is something I really, really love and eat all the time 🤤 So once again while hunting for a good gamjatang spot, I found great reviews for Somunnan Gamjatang, a Nowon restaurant, and went to check it out 🔥 ![Exterior of Somunnan Gamjatang near Sangye Station Exit 2](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangye-station-gamjatang-ramen-noodle-finish/sangye-station-gamjatang-ramen-noodle-finish-03-1ysu6-966.webp) ## Where Somunnan Gamjatang's Junggye main branch is, and what the room is like The Junggye main branch of Somunnan Gamjatang is about a 5-minute walk from Sangye Station Exit 2 (Line 4), so it wasn't hard to find! The place I visited is the original branch — apparently it's been drawing crowds as a local favorite for over 30 years, so much so that they opened a second branch nearby 👏🏻 ![Spacious interior hall of Somunnan Gamjatang's Junggye main branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangye-station-gamjatang-ramen-noodle-finish/sangye-station-gamjatang-ramen-noodle-finish-04-1024f-966.webp) ![Interior with many tables at the Junggye main branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangye-station-gamjatang-ramen-noodle-finish/sangye-station-gamjatang-ramen-noodle-finish-05-oblm4-966.webp) ![Interior of the gamjatang restaurant filling up during dinner hours](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangye-station-gamjatang-ramen-noodle-finish/sangye-station-gamjatang-ramen-noodle-finish-06-meu71-966.webp) True to being the main branch, the restaurant was big and spacious! Lots of tables, but seats filled up fast once dinner time hit 🫢 I was also surprised at how many takeout orders were coming in — a lot more than I expected haha ![Menu board and price list at Somunnan Gamjatang](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangye-station-gamjatang-ramen-noodle-finish/sangye-station-gamjatang-ramen-noodle-finish-07-la8rf-966.webp) ## Small gamjatang, 36,000 won: what we ordered and what it cost Let me show you the menu at this Sangye Station gamjatang spot! From gamjatang to bone jjim, samgyetang, and various haejangguk, there's quite a wide range so you can order to your taste 👍🏻 - Gamjatang (small) ₩36,000 - Ramen sari ₩2,000 - Rice ₩1,000 × 2 - Soju ₩5,000 - Beer ₩5,000 - Total ₩50,000 ![Sign for the receipt review event](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangye-station-gamjatang-ramen-noodle-finish/sangye-station-gamjatang-ramen-noodle-finish-08-ygt54-966.webp) Just so you know, they have a receipt review event where you can get a free drink 😎 ![Basic side dishes set up alongside the gamjatang](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangye-station-gamjatang-ramen-noodle-finish/sangye-station-gamjatang-ramen-noodle-finish-09-jg6t0-966.webp) ![Free sujebi dough, kimchi, and kkakdugi served with the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangye-station-gamjatang-ramen-noodle-finish/sangye-station-gamjatang-ramen-noodle-finish-10-mq0r1-966.webp) ## Sujebi comes free, kimchi is refillable After ordering, they set the table up quickly. I was actually planning to add a sujebi (hand-torn dough soup) topping separately, but turns out it comes free with the gamjatang order — huge, and honestly a real touching moment 🙏🏻 And for a haejangguk place like this, kimchi is especially important — both the kimchi and kkakdugi were so good I lost count of how many refills I got haha ![Soju and beer ordered alongside the gamjatang](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangye-station-gamjatang-ramen-noodle-finish/sangye-station-gamjatang-ramen-noodle-finish-11-a1cfk-966.webp) With side dishes this good, drinks felt mandatory, so I ordered soju and beer 🍺 ![Pot of gamjatang starting to boil](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangye-station-gamjatang-ramen-noodle-finish/sangye-station-gamjatang-ramen-noodle-finish-12-hx8mu-966.webp) ![Gamjatang topped with perilla powder and perilla leaves](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangye-station-gamjatang-ramen-noodle-finish/sangye-station-gamjatang-ramen-noodle-finish-13-1x12j-966.webp) ![A pot of the small-size gamjatang](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangye-station-gamjatang-ramen-noodle-finish/sangye-station-gamjatang-ramen-noodle-finish-14-gt0tf-966.webp) ## How much food is in the small pot, and the perilla and perilla-leaf broth The main event, the gamjatang, finally arrived!! Honestly, the portion and the amount of ingredients surprised me as soon as I saw it — the perilla powder and perilla leaves were piled on generously 😋 ![Gamjatang with hand-torn sujebi added in](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangye-station-gamjatang-ramen-noodle-finish/sangye-station-gamjatang-ramen-noodle-finish-15-1t65t-966.webp) Once the gamjatang started boiling, in went the sujebi!!! Tearing the thick dough by hand really let me feel the chewy texture properly 🔥 ![A full spread with gamjatang, rice, and side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangye-station-gamjatang-ramen-noodle-finish/sangye-station-gamjatang-ramen-noodle-finish-16-jy2hz-966.webp) Isn't this such an appetizing spread?! This is exactly why I can't quit Korean food… hehe 🤣 ![Thick, meaty gamjatang bone pieces](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangye-station-gamjatang-ramen-noodle-finish/sangye-station-gamjatang-ramen-noodle-finish-17-13qc0-966.webp) ![A piece of gamjatang bone lifted out of the pot](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangye-station-gamjatang-ramen-noodle-finish/sangye-station-gamjatang-ramen-noodle-finish-18-a86a5-966.webp) ### How big the bones are and how easily the meat falls off The most important part of gamjatang — the meat!! It was big and the meat clung to the bone so thick that just one piece was pretty filling 🧡 Is this really the small size…?! haha ![Tender bone meat pulled off with chopsticks](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangye-station-gamjatang-ramen-noodle-finish/sangye-station-gamjatang-ramen-noodle-finish-19-elwpb-966.webp) On top of that, the meat was so tender it came off easily, which made it easy and pleasant to eat!! Even for the small size, it was packed with meat and tasted great, so the drinks kept flowing 🙆🏻‍♀️ ![Gamjatang meat dipped in sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangye-station-gamjatang-ramen-noodle-finish/sangye-station-gamjatang-ramen-noodle-finish-20-1kjhh-966.webp) ![Gamjatang meat served with rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangye-station-gamjatang-ramen-noodle-finish/sangye-station-gamjatang-ramen-noodle-finish-21-1no6x-966.webp) The meat was so soft I could pull it off with just chopsticks haha. The meat itself had no gamey smell and tasted great on its own, but dipping it in the sauce that came with it made it even better!!! It was such a rice thief that I finished a whole bowl of rice in no time… ![Ramen sari noodles added into the gamjatang broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangye-station-gamjatang-ramen-noodle-finish/sangye-station-gamjatang-ramen-noodle-finish-22-seyc9-966.webp) ![Rich gamjatang broth boiled with the ramen sari](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangye-station-gamjatang-ramen-noodle-finish/sangye-station-gamjatang-ramen-noodle-finish-23-ea262-966.webp) ## Finishing the pot with a 2,000 won ramen noodle add-on When we were almost done at this Nowon restaurant, in went the ramen sari (instant noodle add-on)!!! Gamjatang, sujebi, and ramen — that's the classic combo, right? The broth is so deep and rich that you really can't skip the ramen 😋 Just note that with all the perilla powder in the gamjatang, it leans more nutty than spicy! ![Final pot of gamjatang loaded with ugeoji and perilla leaves](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangye-station-gamjatang-ramen-noodle-finish/sangye-station-gamjatang-ramen-noodle-finish-24-jjvus-m-966.webp) ## Gamjatang near Sangye Station: a meal out or a night of drinks? This Sangye Station gamjatang restaurant loaded the pot with meat, ugeoji (dried napa cabbage), and perilla leaves without holding back, and the savory flavor was fantastic! It works great as a filling meal and just as well as a drinking snack, so I'm very satisfied 👍🏻 If you're looking for a good value Nowon restaurant for a proper meal, I highly recommend Somunnan Gamjatang near Sangye Station ✨ ## Where it is - Somunnan Gamjatang (소문난감자탕해장국) - 694 Deokneung-ro, 1st floor, Nowon-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 노원구 덕릉로 694 1층소문난감자탕 - 37.659592, 127.075563 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%86%8C%EB%AC%B8%EB%82%9C%EA%B0%90%EC%9E%90%ED%83%95%ED%95%B4%EC%9E%A5%EA%B5%AD/@37.659592,127.075563,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@euljiro-tin-spoon-2/sangye-station-gamjatang-ramen-noodle-finish/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
