Yeongdeungpo bone soup spot, regular vs spicy and takeout: Dangsan

Today I'm going to tell you about Dangsan Ppyeodaegwi Haejangguk (당산뼈다귀해장국), a great pick if you're looking for bone soup in the Dangsan area.

I really love bone soup (ppyeohaejangguk, pork bone hangover soup) and I go around trying quite a lot of places, so I have my own standards. At Dangsan Ppyeodaegwi Haejangguk, I thought "this is good" from the very first bite. It's one of the most satisfying bone soups I've had lately.

Where is Dangsan Ppyeodaegwi Haejangguk and what is it like inside?

The restaurant is on Seonyu-dong 1-ro near Yeongdeungpo-gu Office Station, so it's easy to get to. It's a good spot if you're looking for gamjatang (pork bone stew) or bone soup around Yeongdeungpo-gu Office.

Inside, the atmosphere is relaxed and good for a casual meal. It doesn't feel awkward to come alone for a bowl of bone soup, and it also looked fine for a group sharing gamjatang.

Menu and takeout size at Dangsan Ppyeodaegwi Haejangguk

The signature dishes are, naturally, bone soup and gamjatang. We ordered one regular and one spicy bone soup, plus an egg roll (gyeranmari) to share.

One thing that caught my eye in the restaurant was the takeout sign. It said that if you order bone soup to go, it's packed in a special (extra-large) size instead of rice, kimchi and radish kimchi (kkakdugi).

Many of the ingredients are domestic Korean, which gave me confidence.

Spicy vs regular pork bone soup: how do they taste?

First, the spicy bone soup. Short version: I'd really recommend this taste to anyone looking for bone soup in Dangsan.

The spicy broth was peppery but still kept that deep, savory flavor bone soup is known for. It's not just hot; it's the kind of broth where your spoon keeps going back, and it goes great with rice.

The regular bone soup is milder than the spicy one, so you can enjoy the true flavor of the broth.

Since I love bone soup, I'm picky about the amount of meat, the texture and the broth, and I was quite satisfied.

The meat was tasty and went well with the broth. I put rice into the soup and topped it with a piece of kimchi or radish kimchi, and it was so good.

Is the rolled omelet side worth ordering?

The egg roll I ordered as a side also went well with the bone soup. Between spoonfuls of spicy broth, a bite of soft egg roll nicely tamed the heat.

The egg roll was really big and rich, and so good. I recommend ordering it as a side.

What a pork bone soup lover liked most

What I liked most was the bone soup itself. Because I love it, I'm quite disappointed when the broth is too thin or the meat is dry, but here I was satisfied the whole way through.

Eating it with the kimchi, radish kimchi and the dipping sauce for the meat made it feel like a properly full bowl. Personally, I think any bone soup lover should try it at least once.
