## In short

Baekok Yongsan is a Korean restaurant on Hangang-daero 10-gil near Sinyongsan Station in Yongsan, Seoul, serving pork gomtang (pork bone broth soup) in a modern take on a hanok interior, with a sectioned long-table area that suits a family meal. At Baekok Yongsan the order was pork gomtang 11,000 won, spicy pig tail (bulkkorangji) 17,000 won, cabbage mandu (dumplings) 5 pieces 10,000 won, and a glass of baekseju (herbal rice wine) 2,000 won. The broth had no gamy smell, the pig tail meat slipped straight off the bone, and the menu is easy to mix and match depending on who you bring.

When I'm hunting for a good restaurant near Sinyongsan Station, atmosphere matters almost as much as the menu. Especially for a meal with parents or family, the food needs to be clean, sure, but I also look for a space that isn't too loud and works well for sharing several dishes at once.

Baekok Yongsan hit all three pretty precisely. I tried the pork gomtang, the spicy pig tail (bulkkorangji), and the cabbage mandu — and instead of any single thing standing out, the whole balance of price, taste, and atmosphere worked together.

The exterior is modern and clean, which made a good first impression. It's a Korean restaurant, but instead of the typical look, it felt a bit more polished — good vibes for walking in with family.

## Inside Baekok Yongsan: sectioned long-table seating for families

Inside, Baekok Yongsan has a modern take on a traditional hanok (Korean house), with a separately sectioned area holding a long table. There are also window-side tables and small tables, so it looked easy to pick seating depending on group size.

Once inside, the feel was different from the exterior. Traditional paintings mixed with warm-toned chairs and a wood-tone floor — to me it read like a hanok reimagined in a modern way.

Modern, but not cold — comfortable and cozy, like someone's home. With window-side tables and small tables both available, it looked easy to use the space depending on how many people you're with.

What I especially liked for a family meal was that there's a separately sectioned space.

It's a space where several people can sit around a long table together, which seemed like a great fit for coming with parents or wanting a slightly more intimate family meal. When eating with family, having a seat that's comfortable for conversation matters just as much as the food, and that part clearly stood out.

## Pork gomtang, 11,000 won: was the broth clean and free of any gamy smell?

What I ordered at Baekok Yongsan was the signature pork gomtang for 11,000 won, the spicy pig tail for 17,000 won, and cabbage mandu (5 pieces) for 10,000 won. The pork gomtang had almost no gamy pork smell, and the broth wasn't heavy while still having great depth of flavor.

Once this combination was laid out on the table, the spread looked quite substantial. And the first thing I want to talk about here is, of course, the pork gomtang.

The menu description says it's pork gomtang generously filled with domestic sow foreleg meat, and what I noticed first when I actually tried it was how clean it tasted. There was almost no gamy pork smell, and the broth wasn't heavy while still delivering great depth of flavor.

The meat itself was just pure tenderness. Moist and soft going down — and true to the restaurant's name (Baekok means 'white jade'), the pork even looked jade-white and clean.

Take a spoonful of rice with the meat and you really understand why this is the signature dish. It's not flashy or loaded with extras — closer to the textbook version of pork gomtang. I thought it would also be an easy pick if I came here with parents who like clean, mild Korean food.

Of all the places I've visited in August, this was one that really stood out to me, and eating this pork gomtang pretty much sealed that impression.

## Cabbage mandu and spicy pig tail: how well did the two dishes go together?

The cabbage mandu (dumplings) is 5 pieces for 10,000 won, and the spicy pig tail (bulkkorangji) is 17,000 won. The cabbage mandu uses cabbage instead of dumpling wrapper for a light, clean taste, and the pig tail's base spice level felt about as spicy as yeolramyeon (a very spicy instant noodle).

When you're with family, it's more fun to lay out several dishes and share rather than sticking to one menu item. Baekok Yongsan's sides held up well too, which was another plus. First, the cabbage mandu — 5 pieces for 10,000 won.

![A plate of 5 cabbage-wrapped mandu](https://img.superchart.com/images/baekok-yongsan-family-dinner-bulkkorangji/baekok-yongsan-family-dinner-bulkkorangji-12-18p3b-900.webp)

Instead of a regular dumpling wrapper, cabbage wraps around the filling, which gave a clean first impression — and it tasted light and on the healthier side too.

![Cross-section of a cabbage mandu packed full inside](https://img.superchart.com/images/baekok-yongsan-family-dinner-bulkkorangji/baekok-yongsan-family-dinner-bulkkorangji-13-1iouq-900.webp)

Cut it open and the inside is really packed. It's filled with meat and kimchi, and there's barely any empty space, so each bite had real presence.

Ordering this alongside the pork gomtang gave a nice change of texture and flavor. And the dish that really shifted the mood was the spicy pig tail.

![Spicy pig tail topped with scallion and sesame seeds](https://img.superchart.com/images/baekok-yongsan-family-dinner-bulkkorangji/baekok-yongsan-family-dinner-bulkkorangji-14-1czhv-900.webp)

The base level 1 spice felt about as spicy as yeolramyeon, and apparently the spice level can be adjusted. Spicy sauce topped with scallion and sesame seeds — a completely different direction from the pork gomtang.

What really surprised me was the texture. It was tender enough that the meat separated right off the bone in my mouth. You'd think a tail dish might be a bit of a hassle to eat, but the meat pulled away easily, making it genuinely fun to eat.

Even at level 1, the spice was pretty strong — exactly the kind of thing Koreans tend to love — and eating this naturally made me want a drink to go with it.

## A glass of baekseju for 2,000 won, plus the service at Baekok Yongsan

Baekok Yongsan's baekseju (rice wine) is 2,000 won a glass. It paired so well with the spice of the pig tail that I ended up ordering another one.

So what I ordered alongside it was a cool glass of baekseju, priced at 2,000 won a glass. It matched the pig tail's spiciness quite well, and since it was so cheap, I ended up ordering a second glass. My original 'just one glass' plan got revised pretty easily in the face of 2,000 won.

If you enjoy a drink with your meal, I'd recommend pairing it with the spicy pig tail. On the other hand, if you're having a family meal without alcohol, pork gomtang plus cabbage mandu was a clean, well-matched combination. Since the dishes have such different characters, it's a plus that you can change up the combination depending on who you're with.

On top of that, the staff's service was genuinely impressive. Attentive, and there wasn't a single moment during the meal where I felt something was lacking. Even when the food and space are great, the whole experience can shift if service falls short — but here, it stayed satisfying right to the end.
