Woodam is a newer Korean beef-soup and comfort-food spot on 37th Avenue focused on slow-simmered gomtang, galbitang, and collagen-rich broths. The space is more polished than the older Union Street stalwarts, but the menu still leans toward warming, soup-centric meals rather than grill-your-own barbecue.
Must-Try Dishes: Collagen gomtang, Galbitang (short rib soup), Yukgaejang (spicy beef soup)
What makes it special: A modern Korean comfort spot built around collagen-rich beef soups and slow-simmered broths.

Kimganae is a busy Korean bunsik shop specializing in kimbap, tteokbokki, and rice bowls served from morning through late evening. It’s designed for quick, affordable meals with trays of triangle kimbap, casual counter ordering, and a menu that works as well for solo snacks as it does for low-key group grazing.
Must-Try Dishes: Signature samgak kimbap, Tteokbokki, Kimbap and donburi combo
What makes it special: A Korean bunsik counter devoted to everyday kimbap, rice bowls, and snackable plates at low prices.
