What is Gomtang(곰탕)?

Gomtang is a Korean traditional thick soup or stew, cooked with any kind of meat and parts of meat such as beef, pork or chicken bones.

What is Gukbab(국밥)?

Gukbap is a type of Korean cuisine that consists of rice in a soup. Depending on your preference, you can have rice on the side or in the soup.

“Our broth is unique to traditional Gomtang as it is made without any bones or other parts of pork. Okdongsik’s special recipe only uses meat and vegetables. What you get after many hours of slow simmering is a clean, savory broth with the deepest umami. If you’ve had Gomtang or Gukbap in the past, you will see the clear difference.The light, refreshing, salad-like kimchi is carefully made to enhance the flavor and texture of Pork Gomtang. Our house special spicy fermented pepper sauce also brings a kick to the meat so please add it to your taste.”
