Somunnan Seongsu Gamjatang (Pork Bone Soup)

Loved the pork backbone stew here. Long queue outside but seemed to move quickly. Lots of locals eating here. Food came quickly and hit the spot on a chilly winter day. So warm and satisfying. We asked for a ramyon to add to the soup once we had eaten some of the pork bone. Was a bit hard to get the servers attention because they were so busy, but still good nonetheless.

Delicious!! It’s not that spicy for Thai ppl like me. It’s quite light but has umami taste. Lastly, they gave us large portion!! I will definitely come back here.

Food: Really delicious! The flavors are excellent, and the side vegetables are fresh and high quality. Staff: Most of the staff are very helpful, but the cashier was a bit cold toward customers, which slightly affected the experience. Note: The soup is amazing, but the aroma is quite strong—your clothes might pick up the smell after the meal. Overall, definitely worth trying!

Was apprehensive of the mixed reviews but decided to give it a try since we were in the area. There was a queue of about 20 people in front but the queue moved really quickly. Took about 15 mins to get seated. We found the service to be good and the pork rib soup (we ordered a medium) to be really flavourful. Added some hand torn noodles when we were about finished with the dish. Heavenly on a cold day!

It was the best pork bone stew I've ever had. The broth was rich and deeply flavorful, and the meat was so tender it practically fell off the bone. The spices were perfectly balanced, providing a comforting and satisfying savory flavor with a slightly spicy kick in every bite. It was served bubbling hot, accompanied by hearty potatoes and greens, making it the ultimate soul food. We finished our stew with hand pulled noodles and I can't stop thinking about it! Plus, they are open 24 hrs!

We came on a rainy Monday night and had to wait about 30 minutes or so. After you’re seated someone will come by and basically order for you based on the size of your party. The flavour of the gamjatang was pretty much expected, hearty and warm and not too spicy which is exactly the way it should be. However the bone pieces were kind of lacking in meat and it was a struggle to pick it off the bone with whatever pieces we were given. After finishing the bone pieces we had to flag down two different servers to get sujebi added to our pot to finish off our meal. The first lady nodded when we asked but never came back to actually give us sujebi. We probably sat there for a good 15 minutes before realizing she wasn’t gonna do it so we had to try and flag a different person. He also kind of was running around bustling but finally flagged down someone else to get us the sujebi. I’m not sure if it’s because we’re foreigners that they kind of were hoping we’d give up but my friend and I are stubborn and sunk cost fallacy set in so we never gave up until we got the dang sujebi lol. This made the effort worth it with the chewy hand torn noodles to finish off the great broth (which the server had to top up since it boiled down so much from us waiting around so long for the sujebi). We saw that the Korean locals would actually get fried rice after the sujebi but considering how long it took to even get the sujebi we just took what we could get and called it a night.

I was a solo diner and got seated right away during dinner hours. There was a lot of meat on the pork bone and I like the tangy soy sauce dipping that came with the dish. Overall very value for money and I enjoyed the meal.

The food here was incredibly tender, and the portions are very generous—you can even choose the portion size based on how many people are dining. I came alone, so I was seated at a single table that felt a bit like an exam desk, which was actually fine for solo dining. Even though I arrived around 11 PM, the place was still completely full, which says a lot about its popularity. If you’re a soup lover, this spot is highly recommended. The soup is comforting, flavorful, and especially perfect during the winter season. Definitely a satisfying and warming experience overall.
