Hadongkwan
Korean
The soup runs out and then they close, which tells you most of what you need to know about Hadongkwan. This old-school gomtang shop in Myeongdong has been ladling the same clear, bone-deep beef broth since forever, served with brisket, rice warmed in the soup itself, and chopped scallions. Come early, expect a line, and order the kkakdugi on the side. It is a bowl of breakfast that makes a strong case for rethinking breakfast.

Gomtang
“When it comes to gomtang, a Korean beef soup traditionally served to the king, not many do it better than Hadongkwan.”
Eater “Its signature gomtang features a clean yet deeply savoury broth, generously filled with brisket, offal, and tripe.”
