Bakmakrye Cheongjindong Haejangguk operates 24 hours a day, providing a reliable option for a filling meal at any hour. Located at 105 Gwanak-ro in Seoul's Gwanak-gu, the establishment stands out primarily for its exceptional affordability. The signature Yang-seonji (tripe and blood curd) hangover soup is priced at only 6,500 won, yet it contains a generous amount of ingredients that nearly overflow the bowl. The broth offers a mild spiciness that serves well as a restorative meal without being overly intense. Eating the soup with the provided raw garlic helps eliminate any strong scents associated with the innards. Generous portions of kkakdugi and mustard sauce accompany the meal, and additional servings of rice are available at no extra cost. Many frequent visitors report higher satisfaction with the tripe-based soup compared to the pork bone version. Given its proximity to local police and fire stations, the dining room often fills with public officials and residents during standard lunch and dinner times. Planning a visit outside these peak hours ensures a more relaxed experience. On Sunday mornings, hikers and locals stop by, though the atmosphere remains relatively calm. The building offers parking space for about ten vehicles in front. However, since the nearest subway station is some distance away, using the bus is a more practical transport option. The combination of low prices, large portions, and round-the-clock service maintains the restaurant's local popularity, supported by the attentive conduct of the staff.
