Arriving a little before the lunch rush, the writer ordered one gomtang and one minari gomtang, and each bowl came with close to a full serving of rice, with both rice and broth free to refill. The mumallaengi (dried radish) side dish paired especially well with the soup, and the only thing to watch is the ttukbaegi (earthenware bowl), which arrives extremely hot. ## Good to know - **Address**: 11 Wangsimni-ro 20-gil, Seongdong-gu, Seoul - **Hours**: 10:30 - 22:00 - **Break time**: 15:00 - 17:00 - **Last order**: 21:30 - **Closed**: Every Sunday / Chuseok holiday, 25th, 26th and 27th (Fri, Sat, Sun) - **Ordered**: 1 gomtang, 1 minari gomtang - **Refills**: Both rice and broth can be refilled - **Side dishes**: Seokbakji (radish kimchi), geotjeori (fresh kimchi), mumallaengi (dried radish) - **Seating**: Converted house, seating on the 2nd and 3rd floors - **Parking**: No parking - **Corkage**: Corkage allowed, free of charge - **Payment**: Local currency vouchers (paper, card, mobile), Zero Pay, mobile payment apps - **Amenities**: Groups welcome, takeout, delivery, reservations, Wi-Fi, high chairs - **Restrooms**: Men's restroom just inside the entrance, women's restroom on the 2nd floor *as written by the visitor on Sep 19, 2026* ![A representative bowl of gomtang from Geumnyeong Gomtang in Wangsimni](https://img.superchart.com/images/wangsimni-gomtang-rice-broth-refill/wangsimni-gomtang-rice-broth-refill-01-1dyii-1200.webp) ## Arriving at Geumnyeong Gomtang in Wangsimni before the lunch rush Geumnyeong Gomtang is a Korean beef gomtang (beef bone soup) restaurant at 11 Wangsimni-ro 20-gil, Seongdong-gu, Seoul. Meeting up with Juju after a while, I'd been craving warm guk-bap (soup with rice) for a bit, and since I heard this place is pretty popular in Wangsimni, I went a little earlier than lunchtime just in case! ## Geumnyeong Gomtang hours, parking and payment options - 📍 11 Wangsimni-ro 20-gil, Seongdong-gu, Seoul, Geumnyeong Gomtang - 📆 Closed for Chuseok holiday Fri–Sun 25, 26, 27 / closed every Sunday - ⏰ 10:30–22:00, break time 15:00–17:00, last order 21:30 - 💶 Local currency (paper/card/mobile), Zero Pay, easy pay apps - 🅿️ No parking - 🍾 Corkage allowed, free of charge - Group seating available / takeout / delivery / separate men's & women's restrooms / reservations / Wi-Fi / high chair - The men's restroom is right at the entrance, and the women's restroom is on the 2nd floor ![The building exterior and entrance of Geumnyeong Gomtang](https://img.superchart.com/images/wangsimni-gomtang-rice-broth-refill/wangsimni-gomtang-rice-broth-refill-02-15lx8-900.webp) ![The Geumnyeong Gomtang sign on Wangsimni-ro 20-gil](https://img.superchart.com/images/wangsimni-gomtang-rice-broth-refill/wangsimni-gomtang-rice-broth-refill-03-wc8yq-900.webp) ![The area around the entrance of Geumnyeong Gomtang](https://img.superchart.com/images/wangsimni-gomtang-rice-broth-refill/wangsimni-gomtang-rice-broth-refill-04-16kfu-900.webp) ![The entrance of Geumnyeong Gomtang with business hours posted](https://img.superchart.com/images/wangsimni-gomtang-rice-broth-refill/wangsimni-gomtang-rice-broth-refill-05-1riae-900.webp) ## Inside Geumnyeong Gomtang: a converted house with 2nd and 3rd floor seating > Geumnyeong Gomtang — made with only top-grade 1+ and 1++ Korean beef, simmered with care every day. ![Store introduction noting the use of 1+ and 1++ grade Korean beef](https://img.superchart.com/images/wangsimni-gomtang-rice-broth-refill/wangsimni-gomtang-rice-broth-refill-06-njxlk-900.webp) ![The interior of Geumnyeong Gomtang, set in a converted house](https://img.superchart.com/images/wangsimni-gomtang-rice-broth-refill/wangsimni-gomtang-rice-broth-refill-07-10a10-900.webp) ![The stairs and floor guide at Geumnyeong Gomtang](https://img.superchart.com/images/wangsimni-gomtang-rice-broth-refill/wangsimni-gomtang-rice-broth-refill-08-rhwq8-900.webp) ![Table seating on the 2nd floor of Geumnyeong Gomtang](https://img.superchart.com/images/wangsimni-gomtang-rice-broth-refill/wangsimni-gomtang-rice-broth-refill-09-1xws1-900.webp) ![A spacious seating area inside Geumnyeong Gomtang](https://img.superchart.com/images/wangsimni-gomtang-rice-broth-refill/wangsimni-gomtang-rice-broth-refill-10-cu8ft-900.webp) The inside feels like a converted house, with seating on the 2nd and 3rd floors. The 2nd floor is pretty spacious with plenty of tables, so we could sit more comfortably than I expected. The 2nd floor tables are roomy enough to be great for a lunch visit, but also nice for anyone wanting to enjoy a relaxed drink with their meal 😊 ![The Geumnyeong Gomtang menu board listing gomtang and drinking snacks](https://img.superchart.com/images/wangsimni-gomtang-rice-broth-refill/wangsimni-gomtang-rice-broth-refill-11-ju826-900.webp) ## What's on the menu at Geumnyeong Gomtang: gomtang, minari gomtang and drinking dishes Geumnyeong Gomtang doesn't just have gomtang and minari gomtang — there's also a solid lineup of anju (drinking snacks), so it works whether you're coming for a proper meal or for an evening drink. The menu isn't lopsided toward one or the other, which made it feel good for everything from a lunch meal to a casual drinking session! 🧾 1 gomtang, 1 minari gomtang ![Seokbakji, geotjeori, and mumallaengi side dishes served in an earthenware bowl](https://img.superchart.com/images/wangsimni-gomtang-rice-broth-refill/wangsimni-gomtang-rice-broth-refill-12-1lb15-900.webp) ### The side dishes: seokbakji, geotjeori and mumallaengi The side dishes — seokbakji (radish kimchi), geotjeori (fresh cabbage kimchi), and mumallaengi (dried radish) — come out neatly in a small earthenware bowl. Personally, the mumallaengi was so good I kept reaching for it. Eating it with the guk-bap, it paired surprisingly well! ![A table setting with gomtang and minari gomtang side by side](https://img.superchart.com/images/wangsimni-gomtang-rice-broth-refill/wangsimni-gomtang-rice-broth-refill-13-9gmei-900.webp) ## Gomtang vs minari gomtang: how the two bowls taste The base broth for both the gomtang and the minari gomtang felt pretty similar. ![Gomtang topped generously with green onion](https://img.superchart.com/images/wangsimni-gomtang-rice-broth-refill/wangsimni-gomtang-rice-broth-refill-14-hsuql-900.webp) The gomtang had a generous amount of green onion, giving off a subtle onion aroma, and the minari gomtang — of course! — came out exactly as I'd pictured it haha. The minari (water dropwort) fragrance really came through and the flavor was clean, which personally satisfied me. ![Minari gomtang piled high with minari](https://img.superchart.com/images/wangsimni-gomtang-rice-broth-refill/wangsimni-gomtang-rice-broth-refill-15-o5h5q-900.webp) ![A close-up of the minari gomtang broth and beef](https://img.superchart.com/images/wangsimni-gomtang-rice-broth-refill/wangsimni-gomtang-rice-broth-refill-16-ozd7d-900.webp) ![A look inside the gomtang bowl showing the rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/wangsimni-gomtang-rice-broth-refill/wangsimni-gomtang-rice-broth-refill-17-y5n57-900.webp) ## Free rice and broth refills, and a very hot ttukbaegi At Geumnyeong Gomtang, both the rice and the broth are refillable, so if it's not enough you can get more. The rice is already mixed into the soup, and the portion was quite generous — it seemed like nearly a full bowl of rice! That said, the ttukbaegi (earthenware bowl) itself gets really hot, so be careful when it's brought to you or when you touch the bowl! 🔥 ![The finished table setting after the meal at Geumnyeong Gomtang](https://img.superchart.com/images/wangsimni-gomtang-rice-broth-refill/wangsimni-gomtang-rice-broth-refill-18-eqnyt-900.webp) ## Is Geumnyeong Gomtang worth a lunch visit? - ✅ A hearty bowl of gomtang with a mild, non-spicy broth and plenty of Korean beef - ✅ Choose your favorite: green onion-forward gomtang or the deeply aromatic minari gomtang - ✅ Rice and broth refills mean a truly filling lunch! ## Where it is - Geumnyeong Gomtang (금녕곰탕) - 11 Wangsimni-ro 20-gil, Seongdong-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 성동구 왕십리로20길 11 금녕곰탕 - 37.562919, 127.0351332 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EA%B8%88%EB%85%95%EA%B3%B0%ED%83%95/@37.562919,127.0351332,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@extra-place-setting/wangsimni-gomtang-rice-broth-refill/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
