It's about a 7-minute walk from Exit 3 of Seongsu Station on Line 2. ![Path to the 4th floor Food Garden at Musinsa Mega Store](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-station-pork-soup-solo-dining-haw/seongsu-station-pork-soup-solo-dining-haw-03-ivb09-966.webp) Once you get to the Mega Store and head up to the 4th floor, there's a food garden ![Interior of the 4th floor Food Garden at Musinsa Mega Store](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-station-pork-soup-solo-dining-haw/seongsu-station-pork-soup-solo-dining-haw-04-gcdhd-966.webp) and that's where Dwaeji Gomtang House Musinsa Mega Store Branch is set up as a special pop-up! ## Inside Dwaeji Gomtang House: solo seats with bag hooks ![Dwaeji Gomtang House set up as a special pop-up between food court stalls](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-station-pork-soup-solo-dining-haw/seongsu-station-pork-soup-solo-dining-haw-05-1lme3-966.webp) This is Dwaeji Gomtang House Musinsa Mega Store Branch. It's set up as a special pop-up tucked between food court stalls. ![Food court tables and solo dining seats](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-station-pork-soup-solo-dining-haw/seongsu-station-pork-soup-solo-dining-haw-06-10k33-966.webp) The tables are standard food court tables, so there were plenty of both solo seats and regular tables. The solo seats in particular had a bag hook underneath, which was really convenient. ## Dwaeji Gomtang House menu and prices ![Menu board at Dwaeji Gomtang House](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-station-pork-soup-solo-dining-haw/seongsu-station-pork-soup-solo-dining-haw-07-1c6jf-966.webp) The main menu items are the Clear Gomtang Set and the Spicy Gomtang Set, with side dishes like minari (water dropwort) tot (hijiki seaweed) king mandu, cold pork belly, and herring roe radish. Note that ordering the Clear Gomtang Set already comes with herring roe radish as a side dish, so you don't need to order it separately. ![Side menu listing with herring roe radish noted](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-station-pork-soup-solo-dining-haw/seongsu-station-pork-soup-solo-dining-haw-08-131lv-966.webp) There's also cola, zero cola, and cider. ![Drink menu and country-of-origin notice](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-station-pork-soup-solo-dining-haw/seongsu-station-pork-soup-solo-dining-haw-09-uweh3-966.webp) For reference, the chili powder, rice, barley, pork, and seaweed here are all domestic (Korean). I ordered the Clear Gomtang Set and the minari tot king mandu. ![Kiosk for ordering at Dwaeji Gomtang House](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-station-pork-soup-solo-dining-haw/seongsu-station-pork-soup-solo-dining-haw-10-3lh1f-966.webp) You can order at the kiosk, ![Buzzer received after ordering](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-station-pork-soup-solo-dining-haw/seongsu-station-pork-soup-solo-dining-haw-11-27kv0-966.webp) and when the buzzer goes off, you just pick up your order. ## What the Clear Gomtang Set tastes like ![Full spread of the Clear Gomtang Set](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-station-pork-soup-solo-dining-haw/seongsu-station-pork-soup-solo-dining-haw-12-13gqw-966.webp) First up, the Clear Gomtang Set I ordered. The centerpiece is a pork gomtang so clear you can see the bottom of the bowl, ![Clear pork gomtang broth showing the bottom of the bowl](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-station-pork-soup-solo-dining-haw/seongsu-station-pork-soup-solo-dining-haw-13-i8s4q-966.webp) ![Close-up of the clear pork gomtang broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-station-pork-soup-solo-dining-haw/seongsu-station-pork-soup-solo-dining-haw-14-o9baj-966.webp) and the side dishes were seokbakji (young radish kimchi) and herring roe radish, ![Seokbakji and herring roe radish side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-station-pork-soup-solo-dining-haw/seongsu-station-pork-soup-solo-dining-haw-15-1m5yg-966.webp) along with salted shrimp, a slice of orange for dessert, and chili paste pickle. ![Salted shrimp, a slice of orange, and chili paste pickle](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-station-pork-soup-solo-dining-haw/seongsu-station-pork-soup-solo-dining-haw-16-7m1w4-966.webp) Interestingly, the garnish on top was green onion and tot (hijiki seaweed). ![Pork gomtang topped with green onion and tot seaweed garnish](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-station-pork-soup-solo-dining-haw/seongsu-station-pork-soup-solo-dining-haw-17-1cjfc-966.webp) I tried the broth first. They say it's clarified using low-temperature, high-pressure cooking... and there wasn't a hint of gamey pork smell, just a mild, clean broth. By my standards, this is perfectly Seoul-style broth! If pyeongyang naengmyeon (cold buckwheat noodle soup) were a gomtang, I imagine it would feel like this. ![Thinly layered pork slices on top of the broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-station-pork-soup-solo-dining-haw/seongsu-station-pork-soup-solo-dining-haw-18-cymaw-966.webp) The meat was layered on top of the pork gomtang, and as you can see, it's cut very thin, so it has a tender feel. Meat sitting in soup usually turns out dense, but because it's so thin, it wasn't like that at all. Eating it with the chili paste pickle set aside in the small bowl on the right was a perfect match. The chili paste pickle tastes exactly like homemade doenjang (soybean paste)-pickled chili peppers, you know? It went well with the plain, mild meat. It also paired well with the salted shrimp. ![Toryeom barley rice underneath the meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-station-pork-soup-solo-dining-haw/seongsu-station-pork-soup-solo-dining-haw-19-1k6jj-966.webp) Under the meat was toryeom (parboiled) barley rice. Eating it, I noticed the portion here is really generous. I'd say even an adult man could fill up on this alone without ordering a larger size. The herring roe radish was spicy with the distinct salty tang of herring roe, and the radish had a nice crunch that went great alongside the gomtang. ![Table setting with gomtang and minari tot king mandu](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-station-pork-soup-solo-dining-haw/seongsu-station-pork-soup-solo-dining-haw-20-15wpl-966.webp) ## Minari Tot King Mandu: a flat-style dumpling And the other thing I ordered, the minari tot king mandu! It comes as a set of 3. ![Minari tot king mandu served as a set of 3](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-station-pork-soup-solo-dining-haw/seongsu-station-pork-soup-solo-dining-haw-21-45037-966.webp) I was expecting a regular round king mandu (dumpling), but it turned out to be this flat dumpling shape. ![Flat king mandu compared in size to a finger](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-station-pork-soup-solo-dining-haw/seongsu-station-pork-soup-solo-dining-haw-22-efhws-966.webp) Comparing it against my fingers, you can see it's genuinely huge. It truly lived up to the name 'king mandu.' ![Spicy dipping sauce with chili peppers for the mandu](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-station-pork-soup-solo-dining-haw/seongsu-station-pork-soup-solo-dining-haw-23-1160j-966.webp) The dipping sauce had a spicy kick with chili peppers mixed in. So I piled it on top like this. ![Cross-section of the minari tot king mandu](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-station-pork-soup-solo-dining-haw/seongsu-station-pork-soup-solo-dining-haw-24-pqk1q-966.webp) Here's a cross-section of the minari tot king mandu! Overall it's a mild, unassuming meat mandu flavor, but with minari (water dropwort) mixed in, there was a faint, fragrant herby aroma. ## The verdict in one line So that's my honest rundown of Dwaeji Gomtang House Musinsa Mega Store Branch! 📌 To sum it up in a line: - ✅ About a 7-minute walk from Seongsu Station (Line 2) Exit 3 - ✅ The clear pork gomtang has a mild, clean flavor - ✅ Amazing when paired with chili paste pickle, salted shrimp, and herring roe radish Honestly, having only eaten thick, heavy, or spicy broths before, this kind of broth gave me a pleasant shock. If this place were near my office, I think I'd eat here for lunch often.
