The original Maple Tree House, in a restored hillside house in Samcheong-dong, with a more intimate setting than the Itaewon branch and a view of the old.
Signature: Hanu beef, Samgyeopsal
Order: Hanwoo beef tasting set: three cuts of heritage Korean cattle served in the original house that started the Maple Tree brand.
Tip: The Samcheong branch has fewer tourist crowds than Itaewon on weekday lunchtimes.
Hadongkwan has been open since 1939 in Myeongdong and is in the Michelin Guide for a bowl of seolleongtang that has not changed: slow-cooked ox bone.
Signature: Seolleongtang
Order: Seolleongtang: ox-bone broth cooked until milky-white without additives.
Tip: The kitchen closes at 15:30 sharp; arrive for an early lunch to guarantee a bowl.
Korea's first registered restaurant, open since 1904 in Jongno, still serving a single dish: 17-hour ox bone seolleongtang with sliced brisket.
Signature: Seolleongtang
Order: Seolleongtang: 17-hour ox bone broth poured over sliced beef and soft wheat noodles.
Tip: Season the broth yourself with the salt provided; adding too much at once is the only mistake you can make.
A hanok courtyard dumpling kitchen in Bukchon, selling hand-formed mandu (dumplings) by the basket to a patient queue of Seoulites who find the 20-minute.
Signature: Steamed mandu, Mandu guk
Order: Steamed mandu (dumplings) with kimchi and pork filling, thin pleated skin.
Tip: The mandu guk (dumpling soup) is only slightly more expensive and adds a clear anchovy broth that makes it a meal.
Hongik Sutbul Galbi runs a charcoal-grill galbi room a block from Hongik University's main gate, with thick-cut marinated short rib and pork belly cooked.
Signature: Charcoal-grilled marinated galbi, Samgyeopsal
Order: Charcoal-grilled yangnyeom galbi (marinated short rib).
Tip: Ask for both yangnyeom (marinated) and saeng (fresh-cut) galbi to taste the marinade contrast; the kitchen sets the grill to the right charcoal heat.
Near Dongdaemun Fashion Market, Bonga cooks its seolleongtang in a traditional gamasot (iron cauldron) from ten beef cuts for 24 hours straight.
Signature: Seolleongtang
Order: Gamasot seolleongtang: broth from ten different beef cuts.
Tip: The 24-hour schedule means this is Seoul's best post-midnight beef broth bowl.
