Yongsan Samgyetang is a samgyetang (ginseng chicken soup) specialist in Yongsan-gu, Seoul, operating for 29 years. Beyond the classic version, the restaurant features perilla seed samgyetang made with Naju-grown perilla and black sesame samgyetang using Boryeong-sourced black sesame. The perilla version has a rich, nutty broth without being greasy, while the black sesame variant pairs creamy dark broth with tender chicken. Crispy potato or kimchi pancakes complement the soup well. Half-chicken portions and solo dining are available. There is no break time, so visiting outside peak hours ensures a relaxed meal. Parking fits up to three cars.
