Geomdan seafood restaurant for clam soup and bossam: Taegine

This time, I went with just my child and me, and it was a place I was happy with because it was good value and easy to manage with a child. It has newly opened in Geomdan New Town, so I think there may still be lots of people who do not know about it—I’ll leave a detailed review.

If you are looking for a seafood restaurant near Ara Station in Geomdan New Town, this may be helpful. As you would expect from a newly opened popular spot, the restaurant was really clean, and the self-service bar (side-dish station) was kept neat too.

Even though we visited after 7 p.m. on a weekday, there were quite a few people there. It really made me see that this was a seafood restaurant near Ara Station that people have been talking about. The dining room had plenty of space between tables too, so it was nice to eat in a comfortable atmosphere.

Tang Bossam Set: What It Includes and the Price

That day, we ordered the Tang Bossam Set (clam soup + bossam). At ₩14,000 per person, it was quite generously put together for the price, so it felt like good value. Since it lets you enjoy clam soup and bossam at once, we could have a filling meal without agonizing over several different menu items.

There was a separate clam tank outside the restaurant, so it was nice that you could see the fresh clams right away before tasting them. Seeing the tank first gave me confidence in the freshness.

That gave me the impression that, among seafood restaurants near Ara Station, this is one that pays attention to freshness.

Tender, Generous Bossam Pork

There was quite a lot of bossam pork. The meat itself was tender and tasty on its own, and it also went well dipped in the sauce.

It was also a great match with ssam (lettuce wraps) or shredded dried radish.

Above all, its tender texture made it good as a side dish for my child’s meal too. It was convenient because I could feed it without worry, to the point that I did not need to bring a separate side dish for my child.

Clam Soup My 35-Month-Old Enjoyed Too

You can choose either a spicy or clear flavor for the clam soup, and it contained a variety of clams, including scallops and hard clams.

The portion was really generous too. The clams had been well purged of sand and were fresh, so we could eat without worrying about any fishy smell. My 35-month-old really enjoyed the clams too. I shelled them myself and gave my child just the meat, and they liked them enough to keep asking for more.

If you have been looking for a seafood restaurant near Ara Station that is good to visit with a child, I think you will be happy with this part.

A few fish cake skewers came with it too, which made it fun to eat. The vegetables soaked in the broth were tasty, and they were a really good match with the bossam.

The broth itself was clean and not overly seasoned, so I kept spooning it up without feeling weighed down.

A Self-Service Bar for Barley Rice and White Rice

At the self-service bar, you can have unlimited refills of barley rice and white rice. It is really delicious mixed with yeolmu kimchi (young radish kimchi) and sesame oil.

Before the main meal, I lightly had it as bibimbap (mixed rice) like an appetizer first. I liked how it neatly awakened my appetite.

The side dishes were arranged neatly too, which made the hygiene feel trustworthy.

Soft-Serve Ice Cream After the Meal

Finally, there was a separate soft-serve ice cream machine in the restaurant, so we could naturally enjoy dessert after the meal too.

Finishing with ice cream together with my child made it a satisfying meal. This kind of thoughtful setup naturally made me want to come back next time.

What Made It Easy to Visit with a Child

Parking was available, and they had high chairs and children’s tableware well prepared, so it was a place that felt easy to visit with a child.
