Grace Gukbap 그레이스국밥

So clear it recalls chicken stock, the broth at Grace Gukbap carries tender meat that keeps turning up spoon after spoon. The sticky rice holds its shape in the soup. Seoul-style kimchi is made daily, crisp and fresh enough to eat like a salad, and the kkakdugi suits the soup too. The set meal adds seasonal namul and a basil potato pancake, with boiled pork or jokbal (braised pig's trotters) depending on what is good that day. The owner explains each dish on the table in a calm voice. Food comes in brassware, books sit in one corner of the quiet room, and it opens on Saturdays.
