Beoseotjip 버섯집

400m from Ttukseom Station. Beoseotjip is a mushroom-focused Korean restaurant near Wangsimni in Seongdong-gu, Seoul, which has maintained its presence at the same location for over a decade. The kitchen builds its menu around fresh mushrooms prepared in soups and hot pots. The signature deulkkae (perilla seed) mushroom soup combines a rich, nutty perilla broth with assorted mushrooms for a comforting depth of flavor reminiscent of home cooking. The spicy mushroom soup uses a beef bone broth base enhanced with peppery seasoning, resulting in a clean yet warming bowl centered on oyster mushrooms and enoki alongside three or four other varieties. The mushroom bulgogi is braised to a low simmer, producing a concentrated savory broth at the bottom of the pan that rewards those who spoon it up on its own, a preparation particularly satisfying during the colder months. All mushrooms arrive in generous portions and in fresh condition, while the beef is consistently tender. Among the side dishes, the mung bean sprout salad is notable for its crisp texture and cool, refreshing flavor. The restaurant recently expanded its seating capacity from its originally compact layout, though lunchtime waits remain common in this office-dense neighborhood. Ingredients are sourced from a mix of domestic Korean, Chinese, Australian, and American suppliers as disclosed by the restaurant.
