About this spot
In the heart of Insadong, this spot serves hand-pulled sujebi dough that you tear with your own hands before dipping into a savory broth loaded with beef and vegetables. The experience is as much about the communal chaos of tearing the noodles as it is about the rich, comforting flavor of the simmering soup.
💡 Tips before you go
- Ask for extra broth if you want to dip your torn dough pieces directly into the bowl for maximum flavor absorption.
- Bring a napkin because tearing soggy sujebi by hand can get messy quickly.
- Order a side of kimchi jjigae to cleanse your palate between rounds of the handmade noodle soup.
