It is because I start thinking about a mild, warming bowl with pufferfish in the broth. That day, too, lunch ended up being a little late. While wondering what to eat, I thought of pufferfish soup in Cheongdam and found a place: Bogi-o Boguk (복이오복국), Cheongdam branch. ![Pufferfish soup at Bogi-o Boguk Cheongdam branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongdam-pufferfish-clear-soup/cheongdam-pufferfish-clear-soup-03-1egt1-1200.webp) ![Clear pufferfish soup meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongdam-pufferfish-clear-soup/cheongdam-pufferfish-clear-soup-04-p8oon-900.webp) Since I generally love pufferfish soup, I did not deliberate over the menu for long. I wanted something clean and simple, so I chose clear pufferfish soup. ## The feel of a pufferfish restaurant on Dosan-daero ![Exterior of Bogi-o Boguk Cheongdam branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongdam-pufferfish-clear-soup/cheongdam-pufferfish-clear-soup-05-a4t3d-900.webp) ![Bogi-o Boguk exterior on Dosan-daero](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongdam-pufferfish-clear-soup/cheongdam-pufferfish-clear-soup-06-1elur-900.webp) ![Bogi-o Boguk sign at Cheongdam Deokyeong Building](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongdam-pufferfish-clear-soup/cheongdam-pufferfish-clear-soup-07-3el5b-900.webp) ![Entrance to Bogi-o Boguk Cheongdam branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongdam-pufferfish-clear-soup/cheongdam-pufferfish-clear-soup-08-kchsg-900.webp) Bogi-o Boguk, Cheongdam branch, is a restaurant specializing in pufferfish dishes on Dosan-daero. Its address is 2F, Cheongdam Deokyeong Building, 540 Dosan-daero, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea. When looking for somewhere to eat in Cheongdam, the atmosphere subtly becomes important too. The place feels tidy overall. The atmosphere suited a pufferfish meal well. Rather than feeling lavishly decorated, it is closer to being a good place for a calm meal. ![Interior of Bogi-o Boguk Cheongdam branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongdam-pufferfish-clear-soup/cheongdam-pufferfish-clear-soup-09-1lmay-900.webp) This time, I arrived a little after the lunch rush. Since peak dining time had passed, the restaurant felt relatively relaxed. Sometimes this kind of timing is even better. ![Relaxed restaurant interior after lunch hours](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongdam-pufferfish-clear-soup/cheongdam-pufferfish-clear-soup-10-1e61b-900.webp) You can choose from the menu slowly instead of during a crowded time. On a day for a warm soup dish, it is nice to sit and take things a little more leisurely too. ## Why I chose the clear tiger pufferfish soup ![Pufferfish soup order and origin information](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongdam-pufferfish-clear-soup/cheongdam-pufferfish-clear-soup-11-6ya2c-900.webp) ![Ordered clear tiger pufferfish soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongdam-pufferfish-clear-soup/cheongdam-pufferfish-clear-soup-12-1bs68-900.webp) The menu I chose that day was clear tiger pufferfish soup. Pufferfish soup can be enjoyed in several ways, but if you like a clean broth, the clear version is a good fit. I personally like pufferfish soup, so I naturally reach for dishes like this when I see them. What I especially liked was that they use domestic wild milbok pufferfish. I tend to look at the ingredients one more time when choosing a meal out, and this point felt reassuring. ![Clear pufferfish soup with domestic wild milbok](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongdam-pufferfish-clear-soup/cheongdam-pufferfish-clear-soup-13-s600x-900.webp) ![A mild bowl of clear pufferfish soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongdam-pufferfish-clear-soup/cheongdam-pufferfish-clear-soup-14-1j1hu-900.webp) ![Warm clear tiger pufferfish soup broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongdam-pufferfish-clear-soup/cheongdam-pufferfish-clear-soup-15-10xjc-900.webp) ![Clear pufferfish soup meal setting](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongdam-pufferfish-clear-soup/cheongdam-pufferfish-clear-soup-16-p03gt-900.webp) Clear pufferfish soup is a great match for times when you need a mild meal rather than something intensely seasoned. Perhaps because lunch had run late, taking the first spoonful of warm broth made the meal feel much more comforting. ## The menu when looking for pufferfish soup in Cheongdam ![Bogi-o Boguk pufferfish dish menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongdam-pufferfish-clear-soup/cheongdam-pufferfish-clear-soup-17-1yji1-900.webp) ![Pufferfish soup and pufferfish dish menu guide](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongdam-pufferfish-clear-soup/cheongdam-pufferfish-clear-soup-18-14cj8-900.webp) ![Menu selection at Bogi-o Boguk in Cheongdam](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongdam-pufferfish-clear-soup/cheongdam-pufferfish-clear-soup-19-gmujz-900.webp) Cheongdam has plenty of places to eat, but the choices naturally narrow when you are looking for pufferfish soup.
