Goseong Somori Gukbap

Address

119 Seonyu-ro, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul

Description

This restaurant is located between Yangpyeong Station and Yeongdeungpo-gu Office Station in Seoul, and it’s a great spot to enjoy Hanwoo Beef Head Gukbap (Korean beef head soup with rice) and boiled beef slices. 🐮 Gukbap is made by simmering beef head bones and meat for hours to extract a deep, rich broth, then adding generous chunks of tender meat. It’s a nutritious dish packed with protein and collagen—perfect for boosting your health, especially during seasonal changes. Each bowl comes with glass noodles, green onions, salt, and pepper, and you can ask the staff to leave out any ingredients you don’t eat. Side dishes are simple but essential: napa cabbage kimchi, kkakdugi (radish kimchi), and a light dipping sauce for the meat. Scoop into the earthenware bowl, and you’ll find it brimming with tender beef. The broth has a deep, hearty flavor that’s both clean and comforting, while the meat is chewy yet elastic, giving a satisfying bite. Dip it into the slightly sweet sauce, and the beef’s flavor shines even more. Of course, kkakdugi and kimchi are must-have pairings with gukbap—alternate bites to balance the flavors. Another specialty here is boiled beef slices (Suyuk) 🥩, made with beef cheek and tongue—the only other dish besides gukbap. Though a bit pricey, it’s known for its consistently excellent flavor. Cheek meat has a firm yet soft texture and deep umami, while the tongue has a slightly springier bite. The meat is thickly sliced and served on a bed of green onions for extra aroma, and pairs perfectly with kimchi. The suyuk is kept warm on a portable gas stove at your table, so you can flip the pieces occasionally and enjoy them hot until the end. If you need more side dishes, simply grab them yourself at the self-service station. And of course, the grand finale of any gukbap experience is mixing rice into the broth 🍚. After enjoying the meat and soup, toss in the rice and stir—it’s the ultimate comfort. Pro tip: add a splash of kkakdugi brine to give it a tangy, lightly spicy kick. In the world of gukbap, good kkakdugi is everything. 😎
