Dae-gu-tang
대구탕
The headline order: a clean but deeply savory cod soup that makes the most sense after hiking or in colder weather.
황대구탕
A sturdy cod-soup stop on the Seoraksan approach road that works especially well after a cold or rainy mountain day.
Pro tip
Come here when the group wants something hot and restorative rather than another seafood showpiece. It is a better post-hike answer than a celebratory dinner spot.
