Jangan Samgyetang - Jung-gu

Was overwhelmed as the menu is quite small and each one had to have a main dish. Seems that we got to order to ginseng chicken soup, the popular shop's highlight Samgyetang. We managed to finish the baby ginseng chicken. One of us chose number 6 the normal Samgyetang, the other number 7, perilla Samgyetang. The basic one, soup is sweet and clear, a mini finger size ginseng was found inside each of our pot. The gluttonous rice was also well simmered and stuff into the chicken. The chicken flesh is tender, gentle peal and the meal is off. Dip it with the pepper salt. Good for a good day. The Perilla Samgyetang had stronger taste and slightly foamy and milkish like, no milk taste, just similar colour and texture. The banchan we had free chicken blizzard. It was not that well seasoned but as I love chicken glizzard, I don't mind. Got one refill too, coz too shy to get a third. The other 2 banchan was served in 2 huge black pots, about palm size. U refill it when u need. Do not eat directly from the black pot. The banchan quality was not that good, the green veg was other. Other kimchi like veg was ok. The table opposite us had at least 2-3 pot refill. Finally after paying, I saw some ginseng wine and some roasted salt displayed and to be sold. As the English salt ginseng wine, chinese character writes ginseng soup. Unsure of what it was, we did not ask and exit the shop. Ginseng soup is slightly more costly that nor al meal, likely because u got good soup, tender whole chicken, ginseng and banchan. Hot flavoured water is served free too. Cashier ,ade a mistake of passing us another 5 person's bill. Luckily we alr roughly tallied our bill and could point out the mistake which cashier apologised. Genuine mistake I guess, but just take note.

Very nice (and first) ginseng chicken soup experience! Finally something that has a subtle non spicy taste in Korea! Owners are friendly, and the place feels authentic homely.

Lovely warm unassuming place with value on it 's plate. Generous portion and very tasty. Tried first time abalone=delicious. Good to see that the tradition is maintained despite being in a touristy area. My Korean food journey just started

This is a great choice Samgyetang. The chicken and seasoned and cooked perfectly. The owners run a great business and provide excellent service. The ginseng wine is also good.

This is a old samgyetang place with limited seating. There two variants and we tried both the classic and one that seemed to taste like it had red bean. The service was ok, seemed a little rude. The chicken was moist and tender, the abalone was firm and chewy but the soup can be a bit bland. The fried ginseng was unique but it had a slightly astringent and bitter taste. Overall, not bad.
