On a late lunch visit, I tried its clean, deeply flavored broth, tender beef tail meat, and bright tangy sauce. A comforting, filling meal worth considering. ## Good to know - **Hours**: 10:00–20:30 - **Parking**: Available in front of and near the restaurant - **What we ordered**: Special Korean beef tail gomtang, Korean beef suyuk soup, and drinks - **Alcohol prices**: Soju and beer ₩3,000 - **Seasoning and side dishes**: Salt and pepper are self-serve; ask the owner for side dishes *as written by the visitor on Sep 11, 2026* Mujinjang Sik-yuk Kkori Gomtang (무진장 식육꼬리곰탕) ![Mujinjang Sik-yuk Kkori Gomtang restaurant information](https://img.superchart.com/images/mokpo-gomtang-mujinjang-hanu/mokpo-gomtang-mujinjang-hanu-01-153j3-966.webp) ## A gomtang spot for breakfast or lunch near Pyeonghwa Square The area around Pyeonghwa Square has lots of restaurants and cafés, even by Mokpo standards, so it is a nice place to look for a meal while traveling! There are plenty of atmospheric restaurants at dinner, but I was actually looking for a Mokpo restaurant that would be good for lunch or breakfast. My boyfriend loves gukbap (rice soup), so we headed to Mujinjang Korean Beef Tail Gomtang for our first meal! ### Exterior ![Exterior of Mujinjang Sik-yuk Kkori Gomtang](https://img.superchart.com/images/mokpo-gomtang-mujinjang-hanu/mokpo-gomtang-mujinjang-hanu-02-1exdr-966.webp) They say this place has been going for three generations since 1976.

I think the broth is the most important part of gomtang (Korean beef soup), and I loved that this one was clean and deep rather than intensely salty or heavily seasoned. I first tasted the broth as it was, then added little bits of salt and pepper to adjust it to my taste. ![Special Korean beef tail gomtang with clean broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/mokpo-gomtang-mujinjang-hanu/mokpo-gomtang-mujinjang-hanu-11-7ib3d-1200.webp) Tail gomtang feels much more filling when you eat it with the meat rather than just sipping the broth, right? The Korean beef tail meat had such a tender texture and went beautifully with the warm broth! I lightly mixed the rice into the soup and had it with a piece of meat, and it made for a pretty substantial meal even without many side dishes. I think the charm of food like this is not flashy flavor, but flavor that makes you want to keep eating comfortably. ![Tender Korean beef tail meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/mokpo-gomtang-mujinjang-hanu/mokpo-gomtang-mujinjang-hanu-12-fz0r5-966.webp) ![A filling meal of tail gomtang](https://img.superchart.com/images/mokpo-gomtang-mujinjang-hanu/mokpo-gomtang-mujinjang-hanu-13-1muvl-966.webp) And the meat was even tastier dipped in the bright, tangy sauce that came with it!! ![Tangy sauce and Korean beef](https://img.superchart.com/images/mokpo-gomtang-mujinjang-hanu/mokpo-gomtang-mujinjang-hanu-14-6mb5d-966.webp) ![Tail meat served with sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/mokpo-gomtang-mujinjang-hanu/mokpo-gomtang-mujinjang-hanu-15-itv9f-966.webp) ![Tail gomtang meat and dipping sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/mokpo-gomtang-mujinjang-hanu/mokpo-gomtang-mujinjang-hanu-16-afb6d-966.webp) ### Side dishes with the gomtang This time, let’s try it with the side dishes that came along! ![Side dishes eaten with gomtang](https://img.superchart.com/images/mokpo-gomtang-mujinjang-hanu/mokpo-gomtang-mujinjang-hanu-17-o64yb-966.webp) The seasoned garlic chives had a slight fish-sauce flavor and a nice salty edge, so they went really well with the gomtang haha. ![Seasoned garlic chives with a fish-sauce flavor](https://img.superchart.com/images/mokpo-gomtang-mujinjang-hanu/mokpo-gomtang-mujinjang-hanu-18-k8u77-966.webp) ### Korean beef suyuk soup The Korean beef suyuk soup had a broth similar to the tail gomtang, and it came with the same thin wheat noodles, too~ ![Korean beef suyuk soup with thin wheat noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/mokpo-gomtang-mujinjang-hanu/mokpo-gomtang-mujinjang-hanu-19-cal3f-966.webp) They are also giving out a complimentary drink through a receipt-review event, so give it a try~~ ![Receipt review event information](https://img.superchart.com/images/mokpo-gomtang-mujinjang-hanu/mokpo-gomtang-mujinjang-hanu-20-1xfb8-966.webp) As you would expect from a long-running Mokpo restaurant, lots of celebrities visited in the past, though I heard they did not manage to get their autographs. ## A filling, comforting meal for a trip The Korean beef tail gomtang I had this time really delivered the strengths of gomtang overall: clean broth, tender meat, and a filling meal. Special foods are great in Mokpo, too, but if you are looking for a comfortable meal while traveling, gomtang seems well worth choosing at least once. In particular, if you are searching for a place around Mokpo’s Pyeonghwa Square for lunch or dinner, I think this kind of gomtang restaurant is worth adding to your list~ After a bowl of Korean beef tail gomtang, I was satisfyingly full, so the dessert afterward tasted even better haha. ## Where it is - Mujinjang Sik-yuk Kkori Gomtang (무진장식육꼬리곰탕) - 4 Pyeonghwa-ro 43beon-gil, Mokpo-si, Jeonnam Gwangju Integrated Special City, South Korea - 전남광주통합특별시 목포시 평화로43번길 4 - 34.7955519, 126.4301182 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%AC%B4%EC%A7%84%EC%9E%A5%EC%8B%9D%EC%9C%A1%EA%BC%AC%EB%A6%AC%EA%B3%B0%ED%83%95/@34.7955519,126.4301182,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@gwangju-tablelight/mokpo-gomtang-mujinjang-hanu/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
