Solo dining with extra chili and ssamjang at Geumnyeong Gomtang

Geumnyeong Gomtang Yeoksam Branch is a 1++ Korean beef gomtang (beef bone soup) restaurant on Bongeunsa-ro 4-gil near Sinnonhyeon Station in Gangnam, Seoul. The writer ate solo, finishing a clear broth piled with minari (water dropwort) and beef, paired with self-serve banchan like pollock salad and pickles, then went back for a second plate of chili because the ssamjang was so good. Friendly service from the owner made it an easy solo meal worth repeating whenever a warm bowl is needed in Gangnam.
