Seated at the kitchen-view bar, I had a solo meal of Wolha gomtang for 12,000 won, a half plate of cold jeyuk (chilled boiled pork) for 10,000 won and rice for 1,000 won, tasting the cold jeyuk with soy sauce and with doenjang (soybean paste). Wolhadong is a five-minute walk from Anguk Station Exit 5 and an easy place to eat one proper meal alone. ## Good to know - **Address**: 16-1 Insadong 8-gil, 1F, Jongno-gu, Seoul - **Hours**: Daily 11:00-21:00 (break 15:00-17:00) - **Getting there**: Within a 5-minute walk from Anguk Station Exit 5 (Line 3) - **Seating**: Tables for 2 and 4, plus bar seats for solo diners - **Wolha gomtang**: 12,000 won - **Cold jeyuk, half plate**: 10,000 won - **Bowl of rice**: 1,000 won - **Ordering**: QR code ordering at the table - **Review event**: Pay in advance and write a Naver receipt review for a free cold jeyuk taster worth 5,000 won - **Price reference**: ₩5,000 ≈ $3.6 (2026-09-20) *as written by the visitor on Sep 19, 2026* ![Featured image of Insadong gomtang restaurant Wolhadong](https://img.superchart.com/images/insadong-gomtang-counter-seat-solo-lunch/insadong-gomtang-counter-seat-solo-lunch-01-1mxry-1200.webp) Wolhadong ## Where is Wolhadong and when is it open? - 📍Address: 16-1 Insadong 8-gil, 1F, Jongno-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 🕖Hours: Daily 11:00-21:00 (break time 15:00-17:00) ### Getting to Wolhadong from Anguk Station ![Way to Wolhadong near Anguk Station on Insadong 8-gil](https://img.superchart.com/images/insadong-gomtang-counter-seat-solo-lunch/insadong-gomtang-counter-seat-solo-lunch-02-1bx7o-900.webp) ![Wolhadong's location in the Insadong 8-gil alley](https://img.superchart.com/images/insadong-gomtang-counter-seat-solo-lunch/insadong-gomtang-counter-seat-solo-lunch-03-1j5zq-900.webp) I visited Wolhadong, a place well known as an Insadong gomtang (pork bone broth soup) spot 😊.

The staff seated me at the bar seats, and it was neat to see the kitchen at work right there in front of me. ![Ceramics displayed at Wolhadong](https://img.superchart.com/images/insadong-gomtang-counter-seat-solo-lunch/insadong-gomtang-counter-seat-solo-lunch-09-1ub2e-900.webp) True to its identity as a traditional Korean restaurant, this Insadong gomtang restaurant displays ceramics that were genuinely beautiful to look at.

I came to eat alone, but the table ended up filled with a full spread — it looked so good I couldn't wait to dig in ✌️ ![Clear-broth pork gomtang at Wolhadong](https://img.superchart.com/images/insadong-gomtang-counter-seat-solo-lunch/insadong-gomtang-counter-seat-solo-lunch-16-1emxn-900.webp) ![A bowl of Wolha gomtang with meat and rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/insadong-gomtang-counter-seat-solo-lunch/insadong-gomtang-counter-seat-solo-lunch-17-1wvsp-900.webp) ![Cold jeyuk half plate served chilled](https://img.superchart.com/images/insadong-gomtang-counter-seat-solo-lunch/insadong-gomtang-counter-seat-solo-lunch-18-1udej-900.webp) ![Gomtang table setting served with kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/insadong-gomtang-counter-seat-solo-lunch/insadong-gomtang-counter-seat-solo-lunch-19-1pch2-900.webp) True to its reputation, the clear-broth pork gomtang was deep and savory yet looked delicious, and it came generously packed with rice and meat. Cold jeyuk is served cold, unlike the suyuk (boiled pork) I was familiar with, so I was curious about the taste and ordered it — it came with kimchi as a side plus the extra bowl of rice I'd ordered 🍚 Do you see that clear-broth pork gomtang from this Insadong gomtang restaurant? Served with tender suyuk in this clear broth, it made my mouth water 😌 ![Rice and suyuk on a spoon](https://img.superchart.com/images/insadong-gomtang-counter-seat-solo-lunch/insadong-gomtang-counter-seat-solo-lunch-20-fwtuw-900.webp) ![A spoonful of gomtang with diced radish kimchi and kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/insadong-gomtang-counter-seat-solo-lunch/insadong-gomtang-counter-seat-solo-lunch-21-e5k19-900.webp) True to its reputation as an Insadong gomtang spot, I ate it by dipping rice, suyuk, and broth together on a spoon, and also had it with diced radish kimchi and regular kimchi. The suyuk was full of juices, the rice grains had a nice chewy bite, and the deep broth was so tasty I kept slurping it up 😋 ![Cold jeyuk dipped in soy sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/insadong-gomtang-counter-seat-solo-lunch/insadong-gomtang-counter-seat-solo-lunch-22-1wdt0-900.webp) ![A piece of cold jeyuk topped with doenjang](https://img.superchart.com/images/insadong-gomtang-counter-seat-solo-lunch/insadong-gomtang-counter-seat-solo-lunch-23-1ayrq-900.webp) I dipped the cold jeyuk I'd also ordered into the soy-based sauce, and also tried it topped with doenjang — both brought out great savory depth and left me satisfyingly full. I'd recommend visiting Wolhadong, the well-known gomtang restaurant near Anguk Station, for a proper Insadong lunch 🙌 ## Where it is - Wolhadong (월하동) - 16-1 Insadong 8-gil, 1F, Jongno-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 종로구 인사동8길 16-1 1층 - 37.5742337, 126.9860099 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%9B%94%ED%95%98%EB%8F%99/@37.5742337,126.9860099,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@jeolla-meal-route/insadong-gomtang-counter-seat-solo-lunch/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
