Insadong & Jongno · Places
Cheongjinok
청진옥A haejangguk (hangover soup) restaurant at 32 Jong-ro 3-gil. The shop says it opened in 1937 in Pimatgol's hangover-soup alley and is now run by the third generation. The signature is a clear beef soup with tripe and ox-blood curd: ₩12,000, or ₩15,000 for the large. It opens at 06:00 every day, which makes it an easy breakfast.
Ilpum Yangpyeong Haejangguk, Jongno 3-ga
일품양평해장국 종로3가점A haejangguk (hangover soup) restaurant at 107-1 Supyo-ro in Nagwon-dong. It is open 24 hours every day, so any time works. The signature is Yangpyeong-style soup with ox-blood curd and beef offal; there is also pork-bone soup, offal soup, blood-curd soup and sundaeguk. Sources differ on the price of the signature soup: blogs from April and July 2026 say ₩10,000 (₩12,000 large in the April post), one June blog says ₩13,000, and Kakao Map lists no prices.
Imun Seolnongtang
이문설농탕A seolleongtang (ox-bone soup) restaurant at 38-13 Ujeongguk-ro. The shop says it opened in 1904, and the Michelin Guide website lists it as a selected restaurant (not a Bib Gourmand). Seolleongtang is ₩15,000, or ₩18,000 for the large (Kakao Map). It opens at 08:00 every day, so breakfast works, though it is one of the later openers among Insadong and Jongno's breakfast spots.
Isaac Toast Jongno 3-ga
이삭토스트 종로3가점A branch of the Isaac Toast chain at 1F, 98 Supyo-ro, toward Exit 15 of Jongno 3-ga Station. It is open 07:00–22:00 Monday to Saturday and closed on Sundays; Kakao Map, Naver and DiningCode all agree. A November 2024 review says you can't eat in (takeaway and delivery only), so treat it as a grab-and-go breakfast.
