The restaurant was quite spacious too, with generously spaced tables, which I loved! ## The Korean dishes we ordered at Okdengjang Seohyeon Branch Okdengjang Seohyeon Branch has everything from doenjang (fermented soybean paste) hot pots to boiled beef hot pot, beef rib hot pot, and ox-tail hot pot. There is also a wide selection of drinking dishes, including tofu kimchi, jeon (Korean savory pancakes), and spicy vinegared squid salad—such a great range of choices! We ordered the small assorted boiled beef hot pot, perilla seed seaweed doenjang hot pot, and freshwater snail minari pancake! ## How were the assorted boiled beef and perilla seaweed doenjang hot pots? ![Korean meal spread at Okdengjang Seohyeon Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/seohyeon-okdoenjang-jeongol-suyuk/seohyeon-okdoenjang-jeongol-suyuk-05-19pp8-1200.webp) First, they brought out braised kimchi and green onion kimchi sauce as the basic side dishes. ![Braised kimchi and green onion kimchi sauce side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/seohyeon-okdoenjang-jeongol-suyuk/seohyeon-okdoenjang-jeongol-suyuk-06-12d5g-966.webp) Braised kimchi—the ultimate rice thief—as a side dish... 🥰 And there was meat inside too. ![A spoonful of rice topped with meat and braised kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/seohyeon-okdoenjang-jeongol-suyuk/seohyeon-okdoenjang-jeongol-suyuk-07-12gdd-966.webp) Before even touching the main dishes, I piled meat and braised kimchi onto a spoonful of rice and took a huge bite. So delicious.... ![Small assorted boiled beef hot pot meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/seohyeon-okdoenjang-jeongol-suyuk/seohyeon-okdoenjang-jeongol-suyuk-08-r9xtt-966.webp) A little later, the small assorted boiled beef hot pot arrived—₩25,000. ![Assorted boiled beef hot pot with beef shank and tendon](https://img.superchart.com/images/seohyeon-okdoenjang-jeongol-suyuk/seohyeon-okdoenjang-jeongol-suyuk-09-17vjb-966.webp) Even though it was the small size, there was a pretty generous amount of meat. It was loaded with arongsatae (beef shank) and tendon, plus plenty of greens like crown daisy? Or minari (water celery). Just looking at it made me feel healthier! Once the hot pot starts boiling on the induction burner, a staff member comes over and grinds in some pepper. Then it is ready to eat! ![Assorted boiled beef hot pot simmering on an induction burner](https://img.superchart.com/images/seohyeon-okdoenjang-jeongol-suyuk/seohyeon-okdoenjang-jeongol-suyuk-10-1erqq-966.webp) And this is what is great about Okdengjang Seohyeon! You can simmer the boiled beef hot pot on one induction burner and enjoy the doenjang hot pot on the other at the same time. They got the perilla seed seaweed doenjang hot pot bubbling right away too. With the perilla seeds in it, the broth became incredibly nutty and rich. There is no way it could be bad. Then the freshwater snail minari pancake arrived too, and the table was completely full. I was so happyyy. ![Boiled beef hot pot, doenjang hot pot, and freshwater snail minari pancake spread](https://img.superchart.com/images/seohyeon-okdoenjang-jeongol-suyuk/seohyeon-okdoenjang-jeongol-suyuk-11-mr27t-966.webp) ### Arongsatae and tendon boiled beef First, I tried the arongsatae boiled beef. The meat was tender and soft, while the tendon had a nice bite—such wholesome, delicious arongsatae boiled beef! Look how tender it is. ![Tender arongsatae boiled beef](https://img.superchart.com/images/seohyeon-okdoenjang-jeongol-suyuk/seohyeon-okdoenjang-jeongol-suyuk-12-c9qgd-966.webp) And then the tendon. Chewy, chewy, nutty, nutty. It was so good dipped in the chili seasoning sauce... ![Tendon boiled beef with chili seasoning sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/seohyeon-okdoenjang-jeongol-suyuk/seohyeon-okdoenjang-jeongol-suyuk-13-fc0bi-966.webp) Having the vegetables along with the boiled beef made Okdengjang Seohyeon feel like a truly wholesome and delicious Korean restaurant in Seohyeon. ![Assorted boiled beef hot pot with vegetables](https://img.superchart.com/images/seohyeon-okdoenjang-jeongol-suyuk/seohyeon-okdoenjang-jeongol-suyuk-14-dyeve-966.webp) ![Boiled beef hot pot broth with glass noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/seohyeon-okdoenjang-jeongol-suyuk/seohyeon-okdoenjang-jeongol-suyuk-15-14kwz-966.webp) The broth was excellent too. It had a clear yet deep flavor, a little like galbitang (beef short rib soup), and it made me want to add rice and eat it all together. It would be delicious with an order of rice—and there were glass noodles inside too. ![Green onion kimchi served with boiled beef hot pot](https://img.superchart.com/images/seohyeon-okdoenjang-jeongol-suyuk/seohyeon-okdoenjang-jeongol-suyuk-16-1hmgl-966.webp) The green onion kimchi that Okdengjang Seohyeon serves as a basic side was especially delicious, so I recommend eating it with the hot pot! ### The nutty broth of the perilla seed seaweed doenjang hot pot Next was the perilla seed seaweed doenjang hot pot. Adding perilla seeds to a doenjang hot pot made the broth incredibly nutty and rich. ![Nutty broth of perilla seed seaweed doenjang hot pot](https://img.superchart.com/images/seohyeon-okdoenjang-jeongol-suyuk/seohyeon-okdoenjang-jeongol-suyuk-17-sw6ph-966.webp) There were sujebi (hand-torn dough flakes) inside too, and you know the combination of perilla broth and sujebi is just perfect.. ♥️ ![Sujebi and tofu in perilla seed broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/seohyeon-okdoenjang-jeongol-suyuk/seohyeon-okdoenjang-jeongol-suyuk-18-1cccq-966.webp) And you know Okdengjang’s tofu is delicious, right? The tofu at Okdengjang Seohyeon was nutty and soft, unlike ordinary tofu! It was exactly the kind of menu that properly refilled my Korean-food meter after a trip. ![Korean meal combination of two hot pots and a pancake](https://img.superchart.com/images/seohyeon-okdoenjang-jeongol-suyuk/seohyeon-okdoenjang-jeongol-suyuk-19-7h6sb-966.webp) Truly a Korean meal combination with nothing left to be desired! ![Freshwater snail minari pancake packed with water celery](https://img.superchart.com/images/seohyeon-okdoenjang-jeongol-suyuk/seohyeon-okdoenjang-jeongol-suyuk-20-1670w-966.webp) ### Freshwater snail minari pancake Lastly, the freshwater snail minari pancake. It was packed with minari, so it smelled wonderful and had a great texture. The pancake itself was deliciously crisp, and the snails added another fun chew. Look at how much minari they add—you can barely see any flour. This seriously will not make you gain weight.. It is health food.. ❣️ ## For a hearty Korean meal near Seohyeon Station If you are looking for a good restaurant near Seohyeon Station—especially a Korean lunch spot for office workers—I recommend Okdengjang Seohyeon! Even in a group, you do not have to settle on one soup dish; just simmer separate ones on each induction burner. That was what I loved so much about Okdengjang Seohyeon Branch!
