The restaurant is on the first floor at 19 Dogok-ro 3-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul. I walked straight from Exit 4 of Gangnam Station on the Shinbundang Line, then turned into an alley to find it. The large word “samgyetang” on the white sign made the restaurant easy to spot. ![Ma Samgyetang exterior with a white sign](https://img.superchart.com/images/masamgyetang-gangnam-fresh-yam-soup/masamgyetang-gangnam-fresh-yam-soup-02-3rc9r-861.webp) At the time of my visit, diners could park for up to 90 minutes free with a meal. For navigation, you can search for the restaurant name or Gangnam Station Seohui Starhills officetel. ## Is the seating good for groups? The owner greeted us warmly when we entered. The interior was spacious and comfortable, with mostly four-person tables with chairs. The tables looked like they could be pushed together for groups, so the restaurant also seemed suitable for a company dinner. ![Spacious interior of Ma Samgyetang](https://img.superchart.com/images/masamgyetang-gangnam-fresh-yam-soup/masamgyetang-gangnam-fresh-yam-soup-03-1g608-900.webp) ![Table seating at Ma Samgyetang](https://img.superchart.com/images/masamgyetang-gangnam-fresh-yam-soup/masamgyetang-gangnam-fresh-yam-soup-04-9cpvw-900.webp) ![Dining area and tables at Ma Samgyetang](https://img.superchart.com/images/masamgyetang-gangnam-fresh-yam-soup/masamgyetang-gangnam-fresh-yam-soup-05-1yb1c-900.webp) There were also autographs posted on the restaurant wall. ![Autographs posted on the Ma Samgyetang wall](https://img.superchart.com/images/masamgyetang-gangnam-fresh-yam-soup/masamgyetang-gangnam-fresh-yam-soup-06-16n2l-900.webp) ## What else is on the menu besides samgyetang? Besides samgyetang, the menu included half-chicken soup and samgyetang chicken porridge. At the time of my visit, the half-chicken soup could be ordered until 3 p.m. There were also dishes suited to accompany drinks, such as dakdoritang (spicy braised chicken), boneless fried chicken, stir-fried chicken gizzards, and fried ginseng. ![Food menu at Ma Samgyetang](https://img.superchart.com/images/masamgyetang-gangnam-fresh-yam-soup/masamgyetang-gangnam-fresh-yam-soup-07-15g4j-900.webp) ## What side dishes come with Ma Samgyetang? We ordered two bowls of Ma Samgyetang, and several side dishes came with them. Besides kimchi, there were other sides to alternate between as we ate. ![Side dishes served with ordered Ma Samgyetang](https://img.superchart.com/images/masamgyetang-gangnam-fresh-yam-soup/masamgyetang-gangnam-fresh-yam-soup-08-8amft-900.webp) ![Several side dishes served with Ma Samgyetang](https://img.superchart.com/images/masamgyetang-gangnam-fresh-yam-soup/masamgyetang-gangnam-fresh-yam-soup-09-j4oo1-900.webp) Additional side dishes were available at the self-service bar. Small paper rests were provided on the tables for the parts of the spoons that touch your mouth, so they did not take up much space. ![Around the table during the Ma Samgyetang meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/masamgyetang-gangnam-fresh-yam-soup/masamgyetang-gangnam-fresh-yam-soup-10-ulazk-900.webp) ![Paper spoon rests on the Ma Samgyetang table](https://img.superchart.com/images/masamgyetang-gangnam-fresh-yam-soup/masamgyetang-gangnam-fresh-yam-soup-11-6gund-900.webp) ## How did the fresh-yam broth and chicken taste? I tasted the broth first, and it was clean-tasting and mild. Perhaps because grated fresh yam had been added, it tasted a little different from the samgyetang I usually eat. ![Fresh-yam broth from Ma Samgyetang](https://img.superchart.com/images/masamgyetang-gangnam-fresh-yam-soup/masamgyetang-gangnam-fresh-yam-soup-12-41uzd-900.webp) The chicken had been simmered until tender, so the meat came off easily. The meat itself was mild, and it tasted even better dipped in the salt served alongside it. ![Tender simmered chicken in Ma Samgyetang](https://img.superchart.com/images/masamgyetang-gangnam-fresh-yam-soup/masamgyetang-gangnam-fresh-yam-soup-13-1pkny-900.webp) ![Tender chicken tasted during the Ma Samgyetang meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/masamgyetang-gangnam-fresh-yam-soup/masamgyetang-gangnam-fresh-yam-soup-14-jacur-900.webp) ![Ma Samgyetang chicken with mild broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/masamgyetang-gangnam-fresh-yam-soup/masamgyetang-gangnam-fresh-yam-soup-15-2thjx-670.webp) The glutinous rice I had at the end was pleasantly sticky. After eating everything from the chicken to the rice, I felt full, and for me it was a meal that still felt comfortable afterward. ![Chicken and glutinous rice near the meal's end](https://img.superchart.com/images/masamgyetang-gangnam-fresh-yam-soup/masamgyetang-gangnam-fresh-yam-soup-16-9ik09-746.webp) ![Sticky glutinous rice eaten with Ma Samgyetang](https://img.superchart.com/images/masamgyetang-gangnam-fresh-yam-soup/masamgyetang-gangnam-fresh-yam-soup-17-569z3-900.webp) ![Glutinous rice eaten to finish the Ma Samgyetang meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/masamgyetang-gangnam-fresh-yam-soup/masamgyetang-gangnam-fresh-yam-soup-18-1fh7j-900.webp) ![Ma Samgyetang meal after eating the glutinous rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/masamgyetang-gangnam-fresh-yam-soup/masamgyetang-gangnam-fresh-yam-soup-19-eu9lj-900.webp) ## Where it is - Masamgyetang Bangbaeng Sageori Branch (마삼계탕 뱅뱅사거리점) - 19 Dogok-ro 3-gil, 1F, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea (서울특별시 강남구 도곡로3길 19 1층 마삼계탕 뱅뱅사거리점) - 서울특별시 강남구 도곡로3길 19 1층 마삼계탕 뱅뱅사거리점 - 37.4913785, 127.0325295 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%A7%88%EC%82%BC%EA%B3%84%ED%83%95%20%EB%B1%85%EB%B1%85%EC%82%AC%EA%B1%B0%EB%A6%AC%EC%A0%90/@37.4913785,127.0325295,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@menu-page/masamgyetang-gangnam-fresh-yam-soup/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
