I tried its fresh yam samgyetang and found the broth thick yet mild, the chicken tender, and the spacious four-person tables suitable for a meal with parents. ## Good to know - **Address**: 19 Dogok-ro 3-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea (서울 강남구 도곡로3길 19 1층 마삼계탕 뱅뱅사거리점) - **What I ate**: Masamgyetang made with blended fresh yam - **Half-chicken soup orders**: Available until 3 p.m. when I visited - **Seating**: Mostly four-person tables with comfortable spacing - **Side dishes**: Additional portions were available from a self-service bar - **Parking**: The restaurant indicated free parking with a meal; check the conditions before visiting *as written by the visitor on Sep 8, 2026* Wanting a hot bowl of nourishing food, I visited Masamgyetang Baengbaeng Sageori near Baengbaeng Sageori.

The restaurant is on Dogok-ro 3-gil, near the Baengbaeng Sageori dining area. It was also within walking distance of Gangnam Station, and the large sign made it easy to find. The exterior looked clean as well. ![Masamgyetang Baengbaeng Sageori exterior on Dogok-ro 3-gil](https://img.superchart.com/images/masamgyetang-bangbang-samgyetang-family-meal/masamgyetang-bangbang-samgyetang-family-meal-03-67dyr-966.webp) It was also convenient that parking was available. The restaurant said free parking was available with a meal, so if you drive, it would be best to check the parking conditions before visiting. ## What was the dining room like for a meal with parents? The restaurant was more spacious than I expected once I went inside. The tables were not packed closely together. ![Spacious interior of Masamgyetang Baengbaeng Sageori](https://img.superchart.com/images/masamgyetang-bangbang-samgyetang-family-meal/masamgyetang-bangbang-samgyetang-family-meal-04-17bza-966.webp) ![Masamgyetang dining room with comfortable table spacing](https://img.superchart.com/images/masamgyetang-bangbang-samgyetang-family-meal/masamgyetang-bangbang-samgyetang-family-meal-05-1kvqg-966.webp) Overall, it was clean and arranged mostly with four-person tables. It seemed suitable for bringing parents or dining with a group. ![Four-person tables at Masamgyetang Baengbaeng Sageori](https://img.superchart.com/images/masamgyetang-bangbang-samgyetang-family-meal/masamgyetang-bangbang-samgyetang-family-meal-06-13u1p-966.webp) ![Masamgyetang dining space suited to family meals](https://img.superchart.com/images/masamgyetang-bangbang-samgyetang-family-meal/masamgyetang-bangbang-samgyetang-family-meal-07-10zj7-966.webp) The atmosphere also seemed well suited to nearby office workers looking for lunch. I felt it would be a reasonable place for a bowl of samgyetang on a day when I wanted a Korean lunch in Gangnam. ![Interior view of Masamgyetang Baengbaeng Sageori](https://img.superchart.com/images/masamgyetang-bangbang-samgyetang-family-meal/masamgyetang-bangbang-samgyetang-family-meal-08-1p2gz-966.webp) ## What was on the menu, and what did I order? Besides samgyetang and half-chicken samgyetang, the menu included samgyetang chicken porridge, dakdoritang (spicy braised chicken), boneless fried chicken, stir-fried chicken gizzards, and fried ginseng. I ordered Masamgyetang with fresh yam. ![Chicken dish menu at Masamgyetang Baengbaeng Sageori](https://img.superchart.com/images/masamgyetang-bangbang-samgyetang-family-meal/masamgyetang-bangbang-samgyetang-family-meal-09-1pyjh-966.webp) When I visited, half-chicken samgyetang could be ordered until 3 p.m. It seemed worth noting for anyone who might find a whole chicken too much. ## How did the fresh yam samgyetang broth taste? After a short wait, the samgyetang arrived bubbling in a ttukbaegi (earthenware bowl). ![Masamgyetang bubbling in an earthenware bowl](https://img.superchart.com/images/masamgyetang-bangbang-samgyetang-family-meal/masamgyetang-bangbang-samgyetang-family-meal-10-scuwk-966.webp) A whole chicken was sitting in the hot broth. ![Masamgyetang with a whole chicken in hot broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/masamgyetang-bangbang-samgyetang-family-meal/masamgyetang-bangbang-samgyetang-family-meal-11-x8gu2-966.webp) The difference from the samgyetang I usually eat was the addition of blended fresh yam. ![A bowl of Masamgyetang made with blended fresh yam](https://img.superchart.com/images/masamgyetang-bangbang-samgyetang-family-meal/masamgyetang-bangbang-samgyetang-family-meal-12-4bvpa-966.webp) The broth felt a little thicker and smoother than regular samgyetang. At first, I worried that the yam’s characteristic sticky texture would be strong, but it was not overwhelming. It was nutty yet mild, and the yam flavor did not stand out too much. ![Thick fresh yam samgyetang broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/masamgyetang-bangbang-samgyetang-family-meal/masamgyetang-bangbang-samgyetang-family-meal-13-hd68m-966.webp) ## How were the chicken and side dishes? The chicken was cooked until very tender, so the meat came away easily when I nudged it with chopsticks. I could eat it without having to pull it apart, and the flavor was mild. ![Tender samgyetang chicken falling from the bone](https://img.superchart.com/images/masamgyetang-bangbang-samgyetang-family-meal/masamgyetang-bangbang-samgyetang-family-meal-14-a632s-966.webp) It went well with the broth, and dipping it lightly in salt brought out the chicken’s mild flavor. I especially liked eating it with salt. ![Basic side dishes served with Masamgyetang](https://img.superchart.com/images/masamgyetang-bangbang-samgyetang-family-meal/masamgyetang-bangbang-samgyetang-family-meal-15-epsvk-966.webp) There were several basic side dishes, which were good to eat between bites. For refills, I could take as much as I needed from the self-service bar, which was convenient. ![Self-service bar for refilling side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/masamgyetang-bangbang-samgyetang-family-meal/masamgyetang-bangbang-samgyetang-family-meal-16-p07x4-966.webp) The broth was substantial but less heavy than I expected. Eating the chicken, broth, and glutinous rice together filled me up with one bowl. ![Glutinous rice eaten with samgyetang chicken and broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/masamgyetang-bangbang-samgyetang-family-meal/masamgyetang-bangbang-samgyetang-family-meal-17-1745r-966.webp) ## When would I think of coming back for this meal? I remembered the smooth, thick broth made with fresh yam. Overall, the flavor was mild, so I felt it would suit a day when I wanted nourishing food without strong seasoning. Considering the spacious, clean dining room too, it was a restaurant I would keep in mind when choosing somewhere to eat out with my parents. ![A bowl of mild, nourishing Masamgyetang](https://img.superchart.com/images/masamgyetang-bangbang-samgyetang-family-meal/masamgyetang-bangbang-samgyetang-family-meal-18-11waw-966.webp) ## Where it is - Masamgyetang Bangbaeng Sageori Branch (마삼계탕 뱅뱅사거리점) (마삼계탕 뱅뱅사거리점) - 19 Dogok-ro 3-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea (서울특별시 강남구 도곡로3길 19 1층 마삼계탕 뱅뱅사거리점) - 서울특별시 강남구 도곡로3길 19 1층 마삼계탕 뱅뱅사거리점 - 37.4913785, 127.0325295 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%A7%88%EC%82%BC%EA%B3%84%ED%83%95%20%EB%B1%85%EB%B1%85%EC%82%AC%EA%B1%B0%EB%A6%AC%EC%A0%90/@37.4913785,127.0325295,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@folded-napkin/masamgyetang-bangbang-samgyetang-family-meal/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
