The exterior had a strong retro vibe, but it wasn't too heavy-handed about it.
A hanok-style interior
Walking inside felt like stepping into a traditional hanok (Korean-style house) — quiet yet warm, and quite striking.
On top of that, it boasted a really spacious and comfortable layout.
The menu design also caught my eye — it looked just like a newspaper.
On the menu, doenjang (soybean paste) hot pot and sujuk (boiled pork/beef) hot pot led the lineup, alongside sundubu (soft tofu) hot pot, minari (water celery) pancake, and various seasoned side dishes.
What we ordered at Okdengjang Seohyeon Branch was the medium size mixed sujuk hot pot (₩38,000)!
What comes with the basic side dishes?
The basic side dishes were a tangy, sour scallion kimchi and a stir-fried kimchi cooked with pork.
The stir-fried kimchi, cooked with pork for extra savoriness, was great for a shot of soju before the main dish arrived. It was refillable too, so we could dig in without worrying about running out.
And the soy sauce dip, salted shrimp, and pickled garlic were more than enough to whet the appetite.
Medium size mixed sujuk hot pot (₩38,000)
Finally, the main dish arrived — the medium size mixed sujuk hot pot (₩38,000)!
A clear, refreshing broth came piled generously with beef shank, beef tendon, and short ribs.
On top, crown daisy, minari, and red chili peppers made for a colorful visual, and glass noodles lined the bottom.
We also ordered kalguksu (knife-cut noodle) noodles on the side.
As the clear, refreshing broth started to bubble away—
The texture of beef shank and beef tendon
First, I picked up a piece of beef shank. Thinly sliced, it had a nice softness along with a nutty flavor.
Next, I tried a piece of beef tendon. It was bouncy like jelly, with a light, non-greasy richness.
The minari also kept its fresh fragrance while soaking in the broth beautifully — excellent.
Next I tried the glass noodles that had been sitting at the bottom.
The glass noodles had really soaked up the broth deeply, giving them a clean, excellent flavor.
I also tried the short ribs, which had a much thicker texture compared to the thinly sliced beef shank. The contrast between the two was fantastic.
Wrapping the thinly sliced beef shank with minari—
—and dipping it into the soy sauce brought an instant smile.
I dipped the beef tendon into the soy sauce too, to taste.
A piece of pickled garlic on top added a refreshing tang.
Finishing with kalguksu noodles for a hearty meal
Once we'd eaten through most of the ingredients, we finally added the kalguksu noodles.
The chewy noodles soaked up the clear, refreshing broth deeply, adding even more savoriness,
and the broth turned even thicker.
Pairing beef shank and scallion kimchi with the kalguksu noodles—
—this right here is paradise, haha.
Before I knew it, eating without pause, we had completely cleared the whole dish!
Okdengjang Seohyeon Branch was where I ended up on a rainy day craving hot broth. The mixed sujuk hot pot delivered distinct textures across each ingredient — beef shank, beef tendon, and short ribs — haha. If you're looking for a well-known Korean restaurant near Seohyeon Station, it's a great pick for a family meal!
