The kebabs looked good and there was so much eye-catching food around... but our first meal had to be rice, hahaha, so we headed straight for Nuri Maeul Gamjatang Itaewon Branch, right in front of Itaewon Station Exit 4~~!!!!! ![Gamjatang and bone stew menu with prices posted at the entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/itaewon-spicy-bone-stew-raw-egg/itaewon-spicy-bone-stew-raw-egg-02-97190-966.webp) It's nice that you can check the whole menu before you go!!!

When we went up, the September weather was so nice and cool that eating out there felt just like a proper open-air setup!! If you love the Itaewon view, you'll really love this spot!!! I couldn't sit there myself because of my... sun allergy (?) ㅠㅠㅠ ![Newly opened indoor seating hall on the 2nd floor](https://img.superchart.com/images/itaewon-spicy-bone-stew-raw-egg/itaewon-spicy-bone-stew-raw-egg-04-k1hw3-966.webp) Since it's newly opened, the interior was so clean, spacious, and nice. A comfortable amount of people too!! Lots of families, some foreign visitors — a really diverse mix, very Itaewon. ![Interior of the restaurant with customers seated](https://img.superchart.com/images/itaewon-spicy-bone-stew-raw-egg/itaewon-spicy-bone-stew-raw-egg-05-ouens-966.webp) ![Table setup for ordering directly at the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/itaewon-spicy-bone-stew-raw-egg/itaewon-spicy-bone-stew-raw-egg-06-15dq2-966.webp) You can order right at the table and pay all at once afterward, so it wasn't a hassle at all haha ![Menu board listing gamjatang and bone stew](https://img.superchart.com/images/itaewon-spicy-bone-stew-raw-egg/itaewon-spicy-bone-stew-raw-egg-07-12n1t-966.webp) ![Menu board listing bone hangover soup and side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/itaewon-spicy-bone-stew-raw-egg/itaewon-spicy-bone-stew-raw-egg-08-nbge0-966.webp) ## The menu: gamjatang, bone stew and grilled bones Here's the menu for reference!!!! The mains are gamjatang, bone stew, and grilled bones. There are even several kinds of gamjatang!! - Gamjatang: Nuri Gamjatang (basic), spicy gamjatang, aged kimchi gamjatang, sundae hotpot gamjatang, soybean cream gamjatang, mala gamjatang - Bone stew: soy-braised bone stew, spicy bone stew, aged kimchi bone stew - The direct-fire grilled bones also seemed really popular haha - There were also lots of bone hangover soup options great for solo dining, so it seemed good for everyone to order whatever they wanted!!! ![Empty table before the spicy bone stew arrives](https://img.superchart.com/images/itaewon-spicy-bone-stew-raw-egg/itaewon-spicy-bone-stew-raw-egg-09-gwjci-966.webp) ## How spicy is the mild spicy bone stew? The spicy bone stew lets you choose between mild and spicy, but even the mild level was hot for a spice-wimp like me. I've had plenty of gamjatang, so I was torn between bone stew and grilled bones, but I'd read reviews that grilled bones can't be spice-adjusted and come out really spicy ㅠㅠ, so I went with the spicy bone stew!!! ((But... I turned out to be a total spice-wimp.... Thinking about it, the name itself has 'spicy' in it... even the mild level was hot.. ㅠㅠ)) Since they said it takes 15–20 minutes to cook, we ordered it right away!!! ![Order details for the two-person meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/itaewon-spicy-bone-stew-raw-egg/itaewon-spicy-bone-stew-raw-egg-10-1o8c6-966.webp) ### What two people ordered, and what it cost - Spicy bone stew, small — ₩37,000 - Rice x2 — ₩2,000 - Meat king dumplings (4pcs) — ₩7,000 - Drink — ₩3,000 - Raw egg — ₩1,000 That's the full order for two of us... hahahaha. We were going to get fried rice but it's only available from 2 servings and seemed like it'd be way too filling, so we went with plain rice instead and added meat king dumplings!!!! ![Standard side dishes: diced radish kimchi and fresh kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/itaewon-spicy-bone-stew-raw-egg/itaewon-spicy-bone-stew-raw-egg-11-9ryu8-966.webp) ## Diced radish kimchi and self-serve onion soy pickles The basic side dishes are diced radish kimchi (kkakdugi) and fresh cabbage kimchi, and the kkakdugi was genuinely insane • • • I refilled it and ate more!!!!! ![Self-serve bar in the center of the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/itaewon-spicy-bone-stew-raw-egg/itaewon-spicy-bone-stew-raw-egg-12-1u5t9-966.webp) That spot in the middle is the self-serve bar!!! ![Onion soy pickles brought over from the self-serve bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/itaewon-spicy-bone-stew-raw-egg/itaewon-spicy-bone-stew-raw-egg-13-yjahw-m-966.webp) I piled on those onion soy pickles from the self-serve bar. They go so so so well with the bone stew!!! ![Free gamjatang broth served with the bone stew order](https://img.superchart.com/images/itaewon-spicy-bone-stew-raw-egg/itaewon-spicy-bone-stew-raw-egg-14-1f6zz-966.webp) ## Order the bone stew and the gamjatang broth is free And here, if you order bone stew, you get gamjatang broth for free..!!!!!!! I was already craving soup, so this was amazing......!!!!!! ![Full spread of gamjatang broth, rice, and side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/itaewon-spicy-bone-stew-raw-egg/itaewon-spicy-bone-stew-raw-egg-15-r0fko-966.webp) Honestly, the gamjatang broth alone with kkakdugi and onion pickles could've been enough to finish a bowl of rice ㅠ ![Small size spicy bone stew placed on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/itaewon-spicy-bone-stew-raw-egg/itaewon-spicy-bone-stew-raw-egg-16-1nkbn-966.webp) ## Is the small spicy bone stew enough for two? And here comes the bone stew. The small size is more than enough for two people!!! We didn't add any extra noodles or sides, but it already comes standard with udon noodles, sujebi (torn dough flakes), and rice cakes!!!!!! ![Spicy bone stew with udon noodles, sujebi, and rice cakes](https://img.superchart.com/images/itaewon-spicy-bone-stew-raw-egg/itaewon-spicy-bone-stew-raw-egg-17-2s992-1200.webp) It was cooked so thoroughly that the meat fell right off the bone. So so tender and delicious meat!!!! The udon noodles were genuinely chewy too. Udon is the best. Why can't the udon noodles from the grocery store ever be this chewy... ㅠ ![Mushrooms and cabbage found inside the bone stew](https://img.superchart.com/images/itaewon-spicy-bone-stew-raw-egg/itaewon-spicy-bone-stew-raw-egg-18-xusmn-966.webp) And surprisingly, the mushrooms and cabbage in it were so delicious.. the cabbage was so good we actually kept offering it to each other instead of eating it ourselves. That's how good it was...!!! I don't know what we would've done without ordering the king dumplings...... honestly, as a spice-wimp, the bone stew was really spicy for me ...... ㅠㅠ It's spicy in a good way though!!!! ![Raw egg mixed into rice alongside meat king dumplings](https://img.superchart.com/images/itaewon-spicy-bone-stew-raw-egg/itaewon-spicy-bone-stew-raw-egg-19-58gxg-966.webp) ## Cutting the heat with a raw egg over rice Mixing the raw egg (₩1,000) into the rice and eating it alongside the bone stew cooled down the spice perfectly and was just right haha. Next time maybe I'll try the soy-braised bone stew..? Or kong-guksu (chilled soybean noodle soup)!!! Not many places still serve kong-guksu in September.
