Seoul Hapjeong Gomtang Restaurant: “Baune Naju Gomtang”

The Hapjeong Station area in Seoul can be considered a transportation hub in the northwest region of Seoul. It is a transfer station for Subway Lines 2 and 6, and serves as a central transportation hub with various buses passing through.

Furthermore, as the Hongdae commercial area expands, it has also extended to the Hapjeong area. In addition to the Hongdae commercial area, you can find the Mesena Polis and Delight Square shopping districts nearby.

Thanks to this, you can find a variety of restaurants here. This time, I visited “Baune Naju Gomtang,” a local restaurant that is perfect for a simple meal. Baune Naju Gomtang is a gomtang (beef bone soup) restaurant located in an alley restaurant district behind the Mapo Han River Prugio Apartments.
