A delicious sundubu-guk (spicy soft tofu soup) restaurant

is near my house, so

I'm going to introduce it to you.

The exact name is

Baeknyeon Gwangmyeong Sundubu-guk Mangpo Main Branch, and

it is located near the front gate of Neulpureun Byeoksan Apartment in Mangpo-dong.

The nearest station is Mangpo Station.

It's a famous sundubu-guk restaurant in Mom Cafe,

and it's a place I've been enjoying since last fall.

Recently, they expanded their space

at the same location.

It's always a place with a wait, so

I used to stand in line from around 10:30 am on weekdays

before it opened at 11 am and eat there.

My child loves this type of Korean soup, so

I wanted to feed him, but

they didn't do takeout,

it was hard to bring him on weekdays,

and the weekend wait was daunting, so I put it off.

After hearing about their expansion,

I decided to try the Saturday wait.

It would be nice to wait before they open, but

my child's baseball practice ended around 11 am,

so we arrived at the restaurant around 11:20 am.

There was already a long line ㅜ.

But the weather was getting cooler, so

it was bearable to wait with my child.

We waited about an hour

and had our meal around 12:30 pm.

And shortly after we entered,

they closed before 1 pm due to running out of ingredients.

They expanded,

so the restaurant seemed bigger, but

the turnover rate didn't seem that fast.

Originally, there was one person in the kitchen

and one person serving, but

after the expansion, they had 2-3 more people serving,

but they still seem to be adjusting.

However, since the restaurant is bigger,

it's more spacious than the previous space

and it's nice to eat there.

There's also a self-service area where you can get more side dishes.

The menu has three options:

Sundubu-guk (spicy soft tofu soup), Dwaejimuri Gukbap (pork head soup),

and a new So Ppolsal Gukbap (beef brisket soup) (9,000 won).

My husband had the spicy Sundubu-guk,

I had the spicy Dwaejimuri Gukbap without the noodles,

and my elementary school child had the regular Dwaejimuri Gukbap.

If you order spicy, they cook it with spicy seasoning,

which is much better than adding minced seasoning separately.

The chopped green onions piled on top

are a characteristic of Baeknyeon Sundubu-guk.

Even my child who doesn't know the taste of green onions

enjoyed it.

My child was bored after waiting for an hour, but

he gave it a thumbs up 👍 after one bite.

The amount of meat is really generous,

the broth is rich, and

it's delicious no matter when you eat it.

As the weather starts to get cold,

I think I'll crave it more.

Since their ingredients run out quickly,

I recommend going earlier than their 11 am opening time

to wait.

People are already lining up from 10:30 am.

They are closed on Sundays, and

it seems like many people come from far away on Saturdays.

Go earlier to wait or

I recommend weekday waiting over weekend waiting.
