Haidilao Daehak-ro 하이디라오 대학로점

One pot split into four sections lets the table simmer mala, tomato, mushroom and samgye chicken broths side by side. Leaving one section as plain water gives you a place to rinse ladles so the flavors stay separate. Thin-sliced beef brisket and lamb are the basic meats, and duck intestines add a crunchy bite. Stir an egg into the tomato broth, or stuff tofu pockets with shrimp paste. The sauce bar is charged per person. Ordering kung fu noodles brings a staff member to stretch the dough beside your table. Prices run high, parking near this Daehak-ro branch is difficult, and booking ahead helps on busy evenings.
