Recommend K-Food Gukbap! DoYajip in Seoul Euljiro

Hi everyone, I'm SeoBi.

Today, I want to share a review of a fantastic restaurant called DoYajip Euljiro Branch, right in the heart of Euljiro, Seoul.

This spot offers a variety of dishes during the day—think chilled seasoned pork, comforting gukbap (rice soup), and Korean beef tartare bibimbap. By evening, it transforms into a meat lover’s haven.

I haven’t tried everything on the menu, but today I’m focusing on the gukbap I had.

First Impressions

When you sit down, you’re greeted with a set of complimentary side dishes: napa cabbage kimchi, kkakdugi (cubed radish kimchi), seasoned seaweed, and salted octopus. Don’t worry about extra charges—these sides come free of cost.

Gukbap Experience

The gukbap here is made by slowly simmering pork bones and meat to extract a rich, hearty broth. The rice is served already soaked in this flavorful soup, and as you can see from the photo, there’s even a generous clump of noodles in the bowl.

What I really loved was the broth’s perfect temperature—it’s served warm enough to enjoy right away. In the winter, its mild yet savory taste will definitely warm you up.

A Few Tips for Enjoying Your Meal

When you order the gukbap, a dipping sauce is also provided. This sauce isn’t for the soup; it’s perfect for dipping the tender meat.

If the soup seems a bit mild, try adding a little fermented shrimp sauce or a pinch of salt to boost the flavor.

For an extra kick, mix in some of the complimentary kimchi or dadegi (spicy seasoning). It adds a whole new twist to the taste.

If you’re in Korea and looking for a hearty, satisfying meal, I highly recommend giving this gukbap a try. Especially if you’re around Euljiro, DoYajip is definitely worth a visit.

Enjoy your meal and see you next time!
