Two friends ordered leng saap (spicy sour pork bone soup) for 36,000 won, nasi goreng for 16,000 won and Chang beer for 8,000 won, then pulled the pork bones apart by hand in plastic gloves as the pot sat over a tabletop brazier. The sour, fiery leng saap broth with cold Chang beer was the combination worth coming back for. ## Good to know - **Location**: B1118, B1F Mecenatpolis, 45 Yanghwa-ro, Mapo-gu, Seoul - **Hours (weekdays)**: 11:30-22:00, break 15:00-17:00, last order 21:20 - **Hours (weekends)**: 11:30-22:00, last order 21:20 - **Leng saap**: 36,000 won (spice level adjustable) - **Nasi goreng**: 16,000 won - **Chang beer**: 8,000 won - **Seating**: About 80 seats, plus rooms for 4, 6 and 12 people - **Ordering**: Tabletop kiosk - **Complimentary side dish**: Pickled radish *as written by the visitor on Sep 18, 2026* My friend and I wanted to try something different in Hapjeong, so we headed to Saeng Augustine Hapjeong Branch.

The leng saap's spice level can be adjusted. ## Chang beer for 8,000 won: how it pairs with Thai food > Chang beer, ₩8,000 🌟Recommended drink🌟 ![Bottle and glass of Thai Chang beer](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-thai-leng-saep-chang-beer/hapjeong-thai-leng-saep-chang-beer-06-wm4ge-900.webp) The Chang beer arrived before the food did. ![Cold Chang beer poured into a glass](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-thai-leng-saep-chang-beer/hapjeong-thai-leng-saep-chang-beer-07-13b2l-m-900.webp) Pouring the cold beer into a glass really put me in the mood for Thai food. Chang beer went really well with both the sour, spicy leng saap broth and the rich, savory nasi goreng. ![Table set with Chang beer and Thai dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-thai-leng-saep-chang-beer/hapjeong-thai-leng-saep-chang-beer-08-1ts2w-900.webp) Both the leng saap and nasi goreng had really strong flavors, so a cold sip in between cleaned up the palate nicely haha. If you like a clean beer, I recommend it. Personally, big recommend!! ## Nasi goreng for 16,000 won, a seafood-packed fried rice > Nasi goreng, ₩16,000 The first dish to arrive was the nasi goreng. A glossy plate of fried rice topped with a fried egg and crispy toppings, served in a generous portion. My sweet friend scooped some onto my plate first. Just looking at it, you could tell how rich the seasoning and how savory the fried rice would be. ![A plate of nasi goreng topped with a fried egg](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-thai-leng-saep-chang-beer/hapjeong-thai-leng-saep-chang-beer-09-1dv42-900.webp) ![A generous serving of nasi goreng fried rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-thai-leng-saep-chang-beer/hapjeong-thai-leng-saep-chang-beer-10-1o41c-900.webp) The moment I took a bite, the umami hit hard. The seasoning was evenly mixed through the rice, salty with a hint of sweetness, and never bland — I kept going back for more. ![Close-up of seasoned nasi goreng fried rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-thai-leng-saep-chang-beer/hapjeong-thai-leng-saep-chang-beer-11-1hu62-900.webp) Mixing the soft egg yolk into the fried rice made the rich flavor even smoother. ![Nasi goreng mixed with egg yolk](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-thai-leng-saep-chang-beer/hapjeong-thai-leng-saep-chang-beer-12-1bdfa-900.webp) ![Nasi goreng showing shrimp, squid, and other seafood](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-thai-leng-saep-chang-beer/hapjeong-thai-leng-saep-chang-beer-13-ezlvt-900.webp) There wasn't just shrimp — squid and mussels were mixed in too, so the seafood portion felt really generous. ## Leng saap for 36,000 won: pulling the pork bones apart by hand The leng saap I'd only seen on Instagram finally showed up!! Once it arrived, the table was seriously packed. > Leng saap, ₩36,000 🌟Highly recommended🌟 ![Leng saap, a Thai dish piled with pork bones](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-thai-leng-saep-chang-beer/hapjeong-thai-leng-saep-chang-beer-14-dio61-1200.webp) Huge pork bones piled up like a mountain, topped generously with cilantro and finely chopped chili — it grabbed my attention the second it hit the table. ![Top of the leng saap topped with cilantro and chili](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-thai-leng-saep-chang-beer/hapjeong-thai-leng-saep-chang-beer-15-4r8s4-900.webp) It was way bigger in person than in photos — I was surprised the moment it arrived. ![A large chunk of pork bone from the leng saap](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-thai-leng-saep-chang-beer/hapjeong-thai-leng-saep-chang-beer-16-qxgwr-900.webp) Leng saap is a Thai dish where big bones and meat sit in a sour broth. ![Leng saap soaking in a sour broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-thai-leng-saep-chang-beer/hapjeong-thai-leng-saep-chang-beer-17-s753j-900.webp) It came with a stove on the table so it stays warm while you eat, which I liked. Two whole portions came out, so my friend and I each took one 🤣 With the plastic gloves provided, we pulled the meat off the bones by hand. The meat wasn't tough at all — really tender, it separated along the grain with just a gentle tug. There was more edible meat around the bones than I expected, so picking it apart piece by piece was actually fun. ![Meat pulled off the bone from the leng saap](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-thai-leng-saep-chang-beer/hapjeong-thai-leng-saep-chang-beer-18-18dw8-900.webp) ### What does the leng saap broth at Saeng Augustine taste like? Unlike a typical meat broth, the leng saap broth had a distinctly sour kick. ![A spoonful of leng saap broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-thai-leng-saep-chang-beer/hapjeong-thai-leng-saep-chang-beer-19-1pvw7-900.webp) At first the combination might feel unfamiliar, but the more you eat, the more the sourness and the rich umami of the meat come together, and you just keep spooning it up. After pulling off the meat and pouring the warm broth over it, the dish felt even juicier and more flavorful. The sour broth soaked into the mild meat, sharpening the flavor, and it paired great with the Chang beer haha ![Leng saap meat topped with broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-thai-leng-saep-chang-beer/hapjeong-thai-leng-saep-chang-beer-20-15ziw-900.webp) ![Leng saap warming on the tabletop stove](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-thai-leng-saep-chang-beer/hapjeong-thai-leng-saep-chang-beer-21-1jjvt-900.webp) The meat was juicy and tender, like it had been slow-cooked for a long time. ![Tender pork bone meat shredding along the grain](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-thai-leng-saep-chang-beer/hapjeong-thai-leng-saep-chang-beer-22-du7t2-900.webp) It shredded easily along the grain without being dry, and the meat itself was mild, so it balanced perfectly with the sour, spicy broth. ![A piece of leng saap meat being picked up](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-thai-leng-saep-chang-beer/hapjeong-thai-leng-saep-chang-beer-23-ivl8o-900.webp) If you come to Saeng Augustine, you have to order the leng saap — no question. ![Table set with both leng saap and nasi goreng](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-thai-leng-saep-chang-beer/hapjeong-thai-leng-saep-chang-beer-24-vs3qr-900.webp) If you're craving something different in Thai food, with tender meat piled high in leng saap and a nasi goreng loaded with seafood, check out Saeng Augustine Hapjeong Branch, a favorite among Hapjeong Station restaurants :) ## Where it is - Saeng Augustine Hapjeong Branch (생어거스틴 합정점) - B1118, B1F Mecenatpolis, 45 Yanghwa-ro, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 마포구 양화로 45 메세나폴리스 지하1층 B1118호 - 37.5514404, 126.9135867 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%83%9D%EC%96%B4%EA%B1%B0%EC%8A%A4%ED%8B%B4%20%ED%95%A9%EC%A0%95%EC%A0%90/@37.5514404,126.9135867,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@stainless-table-seoul/hapjeong-thai-leng-saep-chang-beer/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
