Family Friendly Favorites
Gahwa is a bone-soup specialist just off Union Street where seolleongtang, kimchi, and bossam anchor an otherwise modest, no-frills room. Locals treat it as a dependable place for slow-simmered broths and everyday Korean plates rather than a flashy barbecue destination.
Must-Try Dishes:
Seolleongtang (ox bone soup), Bossam (boiled pork with kimchi), Dolsot bibimbap
What Makes it Special: An old-school Korean soup house known for deeply milky seolleongtang and classic banchan.

Woodam

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.
