We ordered two bowls of Wolha Gomtang and added extra meat to one for ₩6,000, tasting it with refreshing kimchi and adjusting the seasoning ourselves. Verdict: a great fit for a clean, comforting meal rather than a heavy broth. ## Good to know - **Address**: 16-1 Insadong 8-gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul, South Korea, 1F - **Getting there**: Walking distance from Exit 5 of Anguk Station - **Extra meat**: ₩6,000 - **Seating**: Bar seating available *as written by the visitor on Sep 12, 2026* I went to Wolhadong because I wanted something warm around Anguk that would not feel too heavy. We ordered two bowls of Wolha Gomtang, adding extra meat to one of them. It felt a little different from regular pork gukbap (pork soup with rice) from the very first impression. Rather than a milky or heavy style, this is a clear, light pork gomtang (pork soup), and it reminded me of the pork gukbap at Dongbonggwang in Apgujeong. If you like a clean broth, I think it will suit you well. ![Wolhadong exterior and sign](https://img.superchart.com/images/anguk-clear-pork-gomtang-wolhadong/anguk-clear-pork-gomtang-wolhadong-01-14f7d-1200.webp) ![Wolhadong exterior and sign](https://img.superchart.com/images/anguk-clear-pork-gomtang-wolhadong/anguk-clear-pork-gomtang-wolhadong-02-qhriq-900.webp) ## Where is Wolhadong? It is on the first floor at 16-1 Insadong 8-gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul, South Korea, and you can walk there from Exit 5 of Anguk Station. ![Directions to Wolhadong](https://img.superchart.com/images/anguk-clear-pork-gomtang-wolhadong/anguk-clear-pork-gomtang-wolhadong-03-bqupm-900.webp) ![Directions to Wolhadong](https://img.superchart.com/images/anguk-clear-pork-gomtang-wolhadong/anguk-clear-pork-gomtang-wolhadong-04-1i7hr-900.webp) ![Directions to Wolhadong](https://img.superchart.com/images/anguk-clear-pork-gomtang-wolhadong/anguk-clear-pork-gomtang-wolhadong-05-agewg-900.webp) ![Wolhadong menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/anguk-clear-pork-gomtang-wolhadong/anguk-clear-pork-gomtang-wolhadong-06-aqvix-900.webp) *Menu* ## Clear pork gomtang that is deeper than expected ![Clear pork gomtang](https://img.superchart.com/images/anguk-clear-pork-gomtang-wolhadong/anguk-clear-pork-gomtang-wolhadong-07-vfuk4-900.webp) I tried a spoonful of the broth first, and it really was clear and clean. Instead of lingering heavily in the mouth like a rich beef-bone broth, it has a subtle savoriness drawn from the pork that follows afterward. It was not strongly greasy either, so it was easy to finish the whole bowl without feeling weighed down. ![Clear, light pork gomtang](https://img.superchart.com/images/anguk-clear-pork-gomtang-wolhadong/anguk-clear-pork-gomtang-wolhadong-08-9d8s0-900.webp) ![Clear, light pork gomtang](https://img.superchart.com/images/anguk-clear-pork-gomtang-wolhadong/anguk-clear-pork-gomtang-wolhadong-09-1f0vm-900.webp) That said, when I ate it, I could detect the faintest pork aroma from the meat itself. If you expect a broth that is almost completely odorless, it is worth keeping in mind; but if you are fine with the characteristic meat aroma of pork gomtang, it will probably just feel natural. ![Pork gomtang broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/anguk-clear-pork-gomtang-wolhadong/anguk-clear-pork-gomtang-wolhadong-10-vn0g1-900.webp) Wolha Gomtang is described as a clear, light style with little lingering greasiness. ## The bowl with extra meat ![Wolha Gomtang with extra meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/anguk-clear-pork-gomtang-wolhadong/anguk-clear-pork-gomtang-wolhadong-11-1pxna-900.webp) We added extra meat to one of the two bowls. The meat was tender rather than chewy, so it went well with the clear broth, and for someone like me who really likes meat, the upgraded bowl was definitely more ![Tender extra pork](https://img.superchart.com/images/anguk-clear-pork-gomtang-wolhadong/anguk-clear-pork-gomtang-wolhadong-12-1d0ef-900.webp) satisfying. The standard gomtang is fine for a light meal, but if the amount of meat matters to you, I would recommend adding ₩6,000 for extra meat. ## The pairing with refreshing kimchi ![Pork gomtang and kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/anguk-clear-pork-gomtang-wolhadong/anguk-clear-pork-gomtang-wolhadong-13-c66qx-900.webp) ![Refreshing kimchi and pork](https://img.superchart.com/images/anguk-clear-pork-gomtang-wolhadong/anguk-clear-pork-gomtang-wolhadong-14-4o1a4-900.webp) The kimchi served alongside tasted cool and refreshing to me. After a few spoonfuls of the clear, light broth, one bite of kimchi made my palate feel completely reset. I especially liked putting kimchi on a piece of pork and eating them together. ## Season it your way with salt, pepper, and chili oil It comes seasoned as is, but there is salt, pepper, and chili oil on the table, so you can adjust it to your taste. I liked tasting the clear broth without adding anything at first, then making little changes from the middle of the meal onward. ![Salt and pepper for seasoning gomtang](https://img.superchart.com/images/anguk-clear-pork-gomtang-wolhadong/anguk-clear-pork-gomtang-wolhadong-15-6ra5x-900.webp) ![Chili oil for seasoning gomtang](https://img.superchart.com/images/anguk-clear-pork-gomtang-wolhadong/anguk-clear-pork-gomtang-wolhadong-16-1yf9t-900.webp) ## Who it suits for lunch near Anguk Station Wolhadong is better suited to people who prefer clear, light pork gomtang over spicy, punchy pork gukbap. I think it would work especially well for anyone looking for a Korean meal in Insadong, a quiet place to eat with their parents, or somewhere for a solo meal or lunch in Insadong. Reference posts also confirm the calm hanok (traditional Korean house) atmosphere inside and the availability of bar seating. ![Wolhadong's calm interior and bar seating](https://img.superchart.com/images/anguk-clear-pork-gomtang-wolhadong/anguk-clear-pork-gomtang-wolhadong-17-19z6y-900.webp) ## My overall take on Wolhadong The key to the Wolha Gomtang I tried was clear, light broth + tender pork + refreshing kimchi. If you like the pork gukbap at Dongbonggwang in Apgujeong, it may feel similar in character, and it will likely suit you even more if you prefer neatly finishing a clean bowl over a rich, heavy broth. If two people visit as we did, ordering two regular gomtang bowls and adding meat to just one is also a nice way to compare the portions. If you are looking for gomtang near Anguk Station and need an easygoing Korean meal in Insadong, keep Wolhadong in mind. I think I will add extra meat again next time. ![Pork gomtang meal with extra meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/anguk-clear-pork-gomtang-wolhadong/anguk-clear-pork-gomtang-wolhadong-18-wfxp1-900.webp) ## Where it is - Wolhadong (월하동) - 16-1 Insadong 8-gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul, South Korea, 1F - 서울특별시 종로구 인사동8길 16-1 1층 - 37.5742337, 126.9860099 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%9B%94%ED%95%98%EB%8F%99/@37.5742337,126.9860099,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@seoul-supper-index/anguk-clear-pork-gomtang-wolhadong/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
