# Itaewon family restaurant with rib soup for kids: Nuri Maeul Gamjatang - By Hajin (https://superchart.com/en/@small-restaurant-table/) - Written Sep 6, 2026 - Local places › Restaurants › Yongsan, Seoul - Sponsored: This review was written after receiving a complimentary meal from the restaurant. - English edition: https://superchart.com/en/@small-restaurant-table/itaewon-gamjatang-galbitang-family-meal/ - Also in: [한국어](https://superchart.com/ko/@small-restaurant-table/itaewon-gamjatang-galbitang-family-meal/index.md) ## In short Nuri Maeul Gamjatang Itaewon Branch is a 24-hour pork bone stew restaurant on the second floor right in front of Itaewon Station Exit 4 in Yongsan, Seoul. The order was a small pot of Nuri gamjatang (pork bone and potato stew) for two, a special galbitang (beef rib soup) for the kids and two bowls of rice, and the small pot arrived packed with radish greens while the rib soup came in an earthenware bowl with rice included. Three bones per person came out tender with no gamey smell and the kids cleaned out the rib soup, so Nuri Maeul Gamjatang works for both a family meal and a late-night hangover cure. ## Good to know - **Address**: 176 Itaewon-ro, 2nd floor, Yongsan-gu, Seoul - **Hours**: Open 24 hours, every day of the year - **What we ordered**: Nuri gamjatang for 2, special galbitang, 2 bowls of rice - **Rice included?**: Galbitang comes with rice; rice is ordered separately with gamjatang - **How to order**: Table tablet ordering, card payment on the spot - **House rules**: One menu item per person; 2-hour limit on weekends and when full - **Parking**: No dedicated lot (use the Hannam-dong Community Center public parking) - **Also good to know**: Yongsan-gu meal vouchers and prepayment accepted; self-bar for side dishes and water *as written by the visitor on Sep 6, 2026* ## A 24-hour gamjatang restaurant right outside Itaewon Station Exit 4 Nuri Maeul Gamjatang Itaewon Branch is an Itaewon gamjatang spot you see the moment you step out of Itaewon Station Exit 4.
