A Beloved Local Restaurant Steps Away from Magoknaru Station
In the dense cluster of eateries outside Exit 1 of Magoknaru Station (Line 9), one name consistently rises above the noise: MaBuJa Saeng Samgyeopsal. Operating since the district’s early development, this restaurant has expanded from a modest, single-unit storefront to a spacious dining venue, thanks to unwavering local support. During dinner hours, the restaurant hums with energy, often requiring a wait even with its numerous tables. In a neighborhood where new businesses come and go, MaBuJa has secured its place as the representative taste of Magoknaru.
The Secret Behind the Flavor: Taebaek Highland Kimchi
What truly sets MaBuJa’s kimchi stew apart is its crystal-clear, savory broth—a rarity in a city where kimchi stews often lean heavily on artificial seasoning. The secret? Fresh, crunchy kimchi sourced from Taebaek’s highlands, which imparts a clean, refreshing depth to every spoonful. The kimchi retains its texture even after simmering, and when paired with a serving of noodles added at the end, it delivers a moment that makes diners pause and think: this is something special.
Generous Cuts of Pork and Whole Kimchi for a Rich Broth
The stew features thick cuts of pork belly alongside large pieces of kimchi, simmered until they melt into the broth, creating a harmony of savory, tangy, and umami-rich flavors. The pork is tender yet retains a satisfying chew, its richness balanced perfectly with the acidity of the kimchi, producing a broth that feels simultaneously hearty and cleansing.
A Comforting Touch: Complimentary Rolled Omelette
There’s an unspoken rule: kimchi stew pairs perfectly with rolled omelette. At MaBuJa, a fluffy, warm omelette comes complimentary with each order, making the meal even more comforting. While it may lack seaweed flakes, at KRW 9,000 per serving (including rice, stew, and omelette), this set offers exceptional value and taste in the heart of Seoul.
A Rare Kimchi Stew Specialist in Magoknaru
In a neighborhood where specialized kimchi stew restaurants are scarce, MaBuJa Saeng Samgyeopsal fills a notable gap. While dinner hours are bustling, lunchtime remains relatively relaxed, making it a perfect time to savor their acclaimed kimchi stew alongside thick-cut pork belly. If you find yourself craving a bowl of refreshing, deeply satisfying kimchi stew, MaBuJa Saeng Samgyeopsal is a must-visit spot in Magoknaru.
