Seongsu · Beef Gukbap

About
On the kind of day that calls for a hot, filling bowl, this is an easy place to walk into. Somugwan builds its table around beef gukbap — a plain, proper meal anyone can sit down to without ceremony.
Rather than chase flourish, the kitchen concentrates on the basics, adding its own care to dishes everyone already knows.
Familiar, and better for it — deeper for the care behind it.
The Bowl
Beef gukbap is the house dish: a deep, well-drawn broth with a generous amount in it. A spoon of rice, a mouthful of broth — the appeal of gukbap is that it asks nothing of you.

Suyuk & Jeon
Beyond the gukbap there is a beef bulgogi rice bowl and tender boiled beef — dishes that suit anyone at the table.
The potato jeon comes out golden outside and soft within: good alongside a meal, and just as good with suyuk and a light drink.
The Room
A pitched timber ceiling, vertical slatted partitions, and light that spreads low between them. A noren bearing the restaurant's name hangs at the kitchen doorway; ink-wash paintings hang on the walls.
It suits a solid meal on your own as easily as a long table shared with colleagues and friends.
