Eating it piping hot was really, really delicious and tender with no toughness at all. Take a spoonful of gukbap, top it with yukjeon — the combo is amazing! ![Rice mixed into broth as part of the beef gukbap set](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-24h-beef-soup-set-meal/hongdae-24h-beef-soup-set-meal-24-a2m23-966.webp) The rice wasn't too soft or too firm either — just the right chewy texture between loose and firm, which was perfect. Mixing rice into the broth and eating it with the meat made lunch feel like a proper, substantial meal 🙏🏻 It also gave off a home-cooked-meal kind of feeling, which I loved haha. ## Who should eat at Yukjeon Gukbap Seogyo Branch?
