Mapo Yangji Seolleongtang is a 50-year-old seolleongtang institution, a four-minute walk from Gongdeok Station Exit 9, serving seolleongtang and beef offal suyuk. The broth sits between clear and milky, a textbook seolleongtang profile with a balanced interplay of refreshing, nutty, and meaty umami. The meat is mostly thin-sliced yangji, which limits richness slightly, but paired with thin noodles it makes a solid meal. The scallion kimchi pairing with the broth is outstanding, and the radish and napa kimchi are both well-fermented. The offal suyuk platter includes all four beef stomachs, offering a textural range that works well as a soju companion. Seating across two floors is generous, making solo dining and weekday dinners comfortable without much wait. Orders are placed at the table, with payment at the counter after the meal. Among Mapo's three major seolleongtang restaurants, this is the most accessible with the shortest waits.
