Yejengak Seolleongtang in Gunpo for Dogani-tang

Hi, this is Ijjingne. My dad's knees had been hurting lately, and since summer had arrived, I wanted to treat him to something nourishing. To buy him dogani-tang, which is said in the source to be good for knees, I visited the Gunpo seolleongtang spot Yejengak Seolleongtang.

Yejengak is near Geumjeong Station, just before going up Geumjeong overpass, on the corner of a large intersection. It has a private parking lot and a parking attendant, so parking is convenient. If you go up the overpass next to it, it connects right to Anyang Hogye-dong and Uiwang, so people from those areas seem to visit often too.

The interior was very spacious. There were solo dining seats, group seats, and one floor-seating room inside. It looked comfortable for family groups bringing older relatives.

The kimchi and kkakdugi seemed hygienically managed. Once we sat down, they brought a plate for serving and cool kimchi. We cut and set up only as much as we wanted. The pickled onions were seasoned well, and I also made good use of the wasabi. As a wasabi lover, I added one more serving.

Real knee dogani-tang Seonji haejangguk

My mom and dad ordered dogani-tang, and I wanted something spicy rather than a white broth, so I chose seonji haejangguk.

I saw this notice after ordering, and my mom regretted not ordering sohanmari-tang. Next time, I want to come back for that too. It is nice that there is also a spicy version. If you pay in cash, you receive one pack of sagol broth for every KRW 25,000, and cumulative receipts are accepted, so it would be nice to visit several times and collect that event broth.

Cups and seasonings were neatly arranged at each seat. The restroom was also well maintained and clean. Details like this show the care in a place.

The dogani-tang finally came out. It was served boiling in a ttukbaegi, and they showed it in front of us and then separated it. Since it comes in large pieces, it must be difficult to eat as-is. They carefully removed the bones, cut it into bite-size pieces, and placed it on a plate.

The broth looked really milky. The restaurant had confidently written that it was boiled only with beef bone and no other additives, which made it feel trustworthy.

It also had jujube and ginseng, and there was a lot of dogani.

We put the meat back into the ttukbaegi, added rice, and ate it well. I also took a little from my dad's bowl, and the broth was truly rich while the dogani was chewy. At first I thought it might be greasy because it looked like fatty meat, but it was not at all. I was won over too.

For reference, this is also a good gukbap place near Geumjeong Station, and the seonji haejangguk is very well made. The seonji was very soft and fresh. The portion was large, so after sharing some with my dad, it felt just right.

It was so good that we even brought some home as takeout. Taking it home means it was the real thing. If you want seolleongtang or dogani-tang with rich broth around Anyang, Gunpo, Uiwang, or Ansan, go to Yejengak.
