Hadongkwan

If you come to Myeongdong, you must eat at Hadongguan. It is recommended by Michelin Guide. There is only one dish, which is Korean beef soup rice. The price ranges from 9,000 to 30,000. The price varies depending on the amount of meat. I ordered the 20,000 one. If you don’t like offal, please let me know in advance. Remember to add more green onions [pig head] ​​​ ​

A long-established beef soup rice specialty store, the menu is very simple and unpretentious, just a variety of soups and different portions. You only buy different grades of beef soup rice, and the dish is just a simple bowl of beef soup rice and kimchi. You can add pepper, salt, chopped green onions, and kimchi juice according to your personal taste. You can also add more soup if there is no soup in the bowl.

It is similar to the clear soup beef in Chaoshan, but the tripe here is delicious. It is quite expensive, a bowl of soup and rice is about 80 RMB, and the price of meat is also quite expensive, but you can try it.

There are really a lot of Koreans in this restaurant. This is the first restaurant we have encountered where the waiter can't speak Chinese and has to rely on gestures throughout the whole process. There are four kinds of beef soup rice in the store: 1W2, 1W5, 2W, and 2W5. Due to the language barrier, the aunt in the store talked for a long time but we didn't understand the difference. We ordered the most expensive one, which felt like a lot of meat, and there were also beef offal. The broth was very clear, and it felt like there was not much oil. The taste was light, but there was salt and pepper on the table, and a small dish of soy sauce would be given with the soup and rice, so you can season it yourself. The pickled vegetables were also great, not spicy, and just right with the rice. By the way, if you don't have enough pickled vegetables, you can add more for free. The environment is a little crowded, but you can tolerate it for the sake of food. The waiter is very fast and quick, but his attitude... Compared to others who are busy and don't know what you are talking about, hahahaha.

A very good restaurant, I recommend it. There are no big dishes, but simple food can also make people taste the taste of happiness. A bowl of hot soup in the winter is enough to warm people's hearts, which is no less than sending charcoal in the snow, right? The rich soup tastes good and does not make your mouth dry after drinking it. An egg supplements the necessary nutrients, which is great.

This old restaurant that only serves one kind of food was selected by Michelin this year. I went there because of its reputation, but I didn't see the long queues I imagined. The menu is so simple that the only difference is the amount of meat. The beef and tripe are quite tender and refreshing. The taste of the soup can be adjusted by yourself, and it is quite good when paired with spicy kimchi.

This is an old shop in Myeongdong. It is located at the entrance of Euljiro. There is a pharmacy and a bank at the intersection, which is easy to recognize. I usually have breakfast here because there are few places open in Myeongdong early in the morning except for toast and Shenxian Snow Soup. The beef soup at Hadongguan is particularly light and refreshing, which is very suitable for breakfast. It is refreshing, simple, and nutritious. After eating it, you will have energy for the whole day.

[80-year-old traditional beef soup shop - Hedong Branch], Michelin Bib Gourmand recommendation in 2019. The beef soup is clear and rich in flavor, served with white rice and sprinkled with some chopped green onions. It is warm and soothing on a rainy morning.
