Bangi-dong gamjatang restaurant: ₩32,000 small pot and beer, Boseung

I heard there was a really clean and delicious sundae gukbap (blood sausage soup) and gamjatang spot near the Bangi-dong food alley in Jamsil, so I went and checked it out — this is Boseung Hoegwan Bangi Branch (보승회관 방이점) :))

• Boseung Hoegwan Bangi Branch
• Open 24 hours every day
• 101 Ogeum-ro, 1F, Songpa-gu, Seoul, South Korea

Where Boseung Hoegwan Bangi Branch is and where to park

Boseung Hoegwan Bangi Branch is at 101 Ogeum-ro, 1F, Songpa-gu, Seoul, near the Bangi-dong food alley in Jamsil, and there's free parking right out front. Walking in is fine too, but the free parking really makes it easy to swing by for hangover soup after a heavy drinking night — if I'd known there was parking, I definitely would've brought the car!!

This is Boseung, a sundaeguk specialist and Bangi-dong favorite for gukbap (rice soup) and every drinking snack you could want!! They've got everything but the kitchen sink for anju (drinking food), so let's head in ~.~

What we ordered: small gamjatang for ₩32,000 and beer

📍 What we ordered for lunch at this Jamsil Station favorite 📍 Small gamjatang ₩32,000, beer ₩6,000

There's a Naver receipt review event, so don't miss it — it takes less than a minute on your phone, so definitely join in and get a free drink haha

Weekend lunch atmosphere and the partitioned booths

Boseung Hoegwan Bangi Branch is a huge place and every seat is partitioned, so we could eat in a semi-private setup. There were especially many solo diners at weekend lunch.

I guess it's a weekend lunch thing — there were really so many solo diners haha. Why does it seem to me like every single one of them is here for a hangover? (Well, birds of a feather and all that,,)

The place was huge and every seat had partitions, so we got to enjoy our meal semi-privately

Boseung Hoegwan Bangi Branch, this Bangi-dong gukbap favorite, is open 24 hours a day, year-round, so honestly it's a great spot for a second or third round of drinks at night too!! Definitely bookmarking this for the next Bangi-dong after-party spot ㅎ.ㅎ

Side dishes: napa cabbage kimchi and kkakdugi (radish kimchi)

Napa cabbage kimchi and radish kimchi came out, and between the two I really enjoyed the napa cabbage kimchi — it had a good amount of garlic in it, so it paired really well with the gamjatang 🫠

What's in the pot: siraegi greens, rice cakes and wide flat noodles

The small gamjatang at Boseung Hoegwan Bangi Branch came generously loaded with potatoes, siraegi (dried radish greens), glass noodles, rice cakes, and perilla leaves. What stood out was that the noodles weren't thin — they were wide, flat noodles.

Potatoes, the eternal partner of gamjatang!! And siraegi, noodles, rice cake, perilla leaves and more were all packed in generously, and what stood out was that the noodles were wide and flat instead of thin

Cheers ❤️ I don't usually drink beer much, but in summer I always start with beer,,!! Because summer is the season that pairs best with beer, hehe

Pork that slides right off the bone

One chunk was really huge, and it was cooked so well I could barely believe it — the meat just slid right off the bone

Maybe that's why it was so easy to eat without much effort!! The noodles and rice cakes that had soaked up all that gamjatang broth were seriously so good

It was a mustard sauce, but it wasn't sharply spicy, so it was delicious even with a generous dip

The plump wide flat noodles were seriously delicious!! Since the noodles weren't thin, they never broke apart even after being boiled for a while

It's a sundaeguk specialist in Bangi-dong, but since they make the gamjatang broth in-house too, it held its own against any dedicated gamjatang restaurant!!

The enoki mushrooms nearly got left out haha

And finally, the true star of gamjatang — the potatoes were boiled until so soft, and the ultimate move is to mash them into the broth at the end and scoop up a big spoonful

Is the small gamjatang enough for two people?

The ₩32,000 small gamjatang at Boseung Hoegwan Bangi Branch had just the right amount of meat for two, and if you want more you can add fried rice. Since I don't eat a huge amount, the two of us ended up completely stuffed. If you're looking for gamjatang in Bangi-dong with a mildly spicy but deep, rich broth, I highly recommend this place!!
