01 LOCAL TABLEDurumi Haejangjip
Durumi Haejanggip is a Korean neighborhood restaurant in Seogyo-dong, between Hongdae and Hapjeong. Despite its name, the restaurant is more than a simple hangover-soup spot. Its lunch menu includes Haejangguk at ₩12,000, while the broader menu moves into beef-based dishes, yukhoe, suyuk and hot pots. In the evening, gopchang-jeongol (beef tripe hot pot) and suyuk-jeongol make the restaurant work equally well as a casual Korean drinking spot. The atmosphere is closer to a comfortable Korean neighborhood restaurant than a polished tourist restaurant. Recent visitor accounts describe a busy lunch service and a casual, old-school feel, while the location is convenient for travelers moving between Hongdae, Hapjeong and Yeonnam. It is particularly useful for visitors who want to experience a Korean meal that changes character from a bowl of soup at lunch to shared food and drinks in the evening.
