It is famous for Korean beef gomguk along with nearby Pyeongnam Restaurant at Pohang Jukdo Market. There are only two items on the menu: gomguk soup and beef. The Korean beef gomguk soup, which continues to be cooked at the entrance of the store, is served as soon as you order it. The characteristic is that it contains plenty of chewy head meat in the thick, white soup. The tender texture of the beef that melts and disappears even though it has been cut into large pieces is excellent. If you dip the pickled onions served as a side dish in soy sauce, you can enjoy it refreshingly.
