Cheongwaok Euljiro 3-ga Jikyeong 청와옥 을지로3가직영점

One of Seoul's celebrated Big Three sundae-guk (blood sausage soup) restaurants, this directly managed branch sits right outside Exit 11 of Euljiro 3-ga Station in Junggu, Seoul. The signature broth is simmered for over eight hours with herbal ingredients, yet tastes purely rich and deeply savory without any medicinal notes. Each bowl of sundae-guk arrives packed with generous portions of sundae and pork at a price point around 10,000 won, which represents remarkable value by central Seoul standards, and fluffy white rice is refilled freely throughout the meal. The pyeonbaek-jeongsik (set meal with assorted boiled pork and sundae) is a popular upgrade, while the menu extends to charcoal-grilled Donghae squid, squid hot pot, and yukhoe (beef tartare), making it well-suited for group dinners and office gatherings alike. The carefully refined broth produces virtually no pork odor, allowing even those who typically avoid sundae-guk to enjoy the dish comfortably, and diners may choose between a clear broth or a spicier version. Complimentary coffee and juice are served after the meal. The spacious interior with its traditional Korean aesthetic draws both locals and international tourists, and the restaurant has been recognized with a Blue Ribbon designation. During weekday lunch, office-worker crowds create significant waits, so arriving before 11:30 AM or booking via Catch Table is advisable.
