Hangaram 한가람

A full spread of side dishes lands with every set meal at this yakseon (medicinal-food) restaurant in Sogong-dong, run by the holder of Korea's first master title in yakseon cooking. The two signatures are ganjang gejang jeongsik, soy-marinated raw crab whose shell gets rice mixed into it, and bori gulbi jeongsik, built around plump grilled dried yellow croaker. Other sets cover abalone with braised beef shank, grilled tilefish, eel and LA-style short ribs, and there is a vegan table as well. Rice is refilled on request, and a pumpkin sikhye (sweet rice drink) closes the meal. After a fire in 2024 the dining room was rebuilt with a more modern look. The building sits on a quiet side street about 400m from Myeong-dong Station, and parking is tight.
