SEOUL TTUKBAEGI ( 서울 뚝배기 )

Meals here carry a warm, grandma-style home-cooked feel. The kitchen specializes in hearty options like doganitang (ox knee soup) and oxtail soup, served in large stone pots with generous meat portions and rice noodles. Diners season the broth themselves at the table with salt and fresh scallions, pairing the soups with sides of cabbage kimchi, radish, and bean sprouts. The menu also features jokbal (pig trotters). While this semi-small venue is generally quiet, it can transform into a rowdy space during larger parties.
