Jangsu Samgyetang Nakwon Branch

ABOUT
Jangsu Samgyetang’s Nakwon branch is a Korean soup restaurant in the lively Jongno area of central Seoul. Its specialty is samgyetang, a traditional dish made by simmering a young whole chicken with glutinous rice, ginseng, and other ingredients. The menu also includes half-portion chicken soup and herbal variations, giving diners options depending on their appetite and preferred flavor. Located on the second floor of Nakwon Building, the restaurant is convenient for visitors exploring Jongno 3-ga, Ikseon-dong, and nearby traditional shopping streets. It offers a straightforward way to experience a classic Korean nourishing soup in a neighborhood frequented by local diners.
WHAT LOCALS SAY
The menu offers several choices beyond standard samgyetang. Diners can choose a half portion for a lighter meal or try richer herbal versions such as yakgyetang and nokgak-tang. This variety is useful for visitors who want to compare different styles of Korean chicken soup. The restaurant is in an older commercial building rather than a standalone destination restaurant, so finding the second-floor entrance is important. Its location in central Jongno makes it convenient for a lunch break or a meal during a neighborhood walk. Samgyetang is generally mild rather than spicy, with tender chicken and rice cooked inside. Herbal versions may have a more pronounced medicinal aroma, so the standard samgyetang is a sensible first choice if you prefer familiar flavors.
