The samgyetang and kimchi pancake were both amazing! This was our second time trying samgyetang in Korea, but it was even better than the first place we tried it. It feels very healthy, light, and tasty. The kimchi side dishes were also very good and paired well with the meal. Th

Loved the Samgyetang here. Had the black sesame & the herbal version. Super fantastic. Do arrive early as there is usually a queue. We went at 10.45am just before they open at 11am.

A long-running local favorite among Koreans, this restaurant is best known for its samgyetang(삼계탕). If you're in the mood for something spicy, don't miss the dakbokkeumtang(닭볶음탕).
