Jung-gu · Da-dong / Dried pollack soup
무교동북어국집
Running since 1968 in the old Mukyo-dong office district, this single-menu restaurant serves the mild, clear pollack soup Seoul office workers turn to as a gentle hangover cure. It opens early and is built for a quick, quiet meal rather than a leisurely dinner.

Bugeo-guk · dried pollack soup
There's one dish to order — the dried pollack soup — with free refills of rice and broth if you're still hungry.
It's a single-dish restaurant that closes early, so it works best for breakfast or lunch.

Excellent flavor in this dry pollack soup. Wonderful balance, super clean broth. Really popular spot, but the line moves fast. They serve only one thing, so they bring your soup, rice and veg quickly. Fun to watch the pros at work here too, it is as efficient as I have ever seen
Breakfast in Seoul. I came here twice again this time. The price has gone up again, but I guess that can't be helped. This place is a must-visit. Development is progressing around here, so who knows how much longer I'll be able to eat here. 2026, 2027👍🫶❤️
