Ask most Koreans where to get traditional Korean porridge, juk, and you’ll most likely be pointed towards the popular juk chain restaurant Bonjuk. But to find a juk (porridge) restaurant that goes above and beyond is difficult. But there’s a little known hole-in-the-wall secret that does just that. Tucked away in the Gwanghwamun area, the juk served at Chowon comes with a yellow egg yolk in the center and several side dishes. With prices slightly cheaper than your average porridge restaurant it’s a really good find for those that need an easy-to-digest meal or need to warm up from the cold. The store’s ginger chicken porridge (samgye-juk) is especially delicious if you’re looking to get that embers in your system warmed up!
