You just need to remember three things: Jamsil, Songridangil, and Yukgaejang. Whenever I crave hearty Yukgaejang, I head there intentionally. It’s also my go-to for battling hangovers. The portions are generous, perfect for a satisfying meal. The soup at Yukjangjeong is incredibly rich and flavorful. Its thickness and robustness leave a lasting impression, making you wonder about the secret recipe behind it. I was particularly impressed by how the bold soup flavor seamlessly blended with the spiciness of the chili, highlighting the natural ingredients used.
Everything about this place exudes heartiness. From the sizable chunks of spring onions to the fresh-looking onions and well-seasoned meat, each component feels vibrant. Even the radish kimchi retains its crunchiness, offering a delightful contrast to the comforting white rice. To wrap up the meal, they serve a refreshing dessert, like the apple I had on my visit.
With its open kitchen concept, Yukjangjeong is perfect for solo diners. While the menu revolves around Yukgaejang, there are variations like Yuk Ramen, Yukgaltang, and Bricket Yukjang, but I stuck to the classic. Whether you’re in the mood for a soothing bowl of soup with a side of soju or craving a flavorful meal, Yukjangjeong won’t disappoint. Located on Songridan-gil, it’s easy to spot and worth the visit.
