Tosokchon (토속촌) Samgyetang (Ginseng Chicken Soup)

My friends brought me to Tosokchon (토속촌), one of the restaurants that famous with their Samgyetang (삼계탕) or also known as Chicken Ginseng Soup to have a try on it. 


We heard that there is always a super long queue of visitors every day. We were so lucky that the queue wasn’t that long during our visit. 


The interior of the restaurant was attractive as the restaurant was converted from a 
traditional Hanok. The restaurant was big with several different dining sections. Some are 
with low tables where customers will sit on the cushion on the floor, and some are with 
normal tables and chairs. 


We were shocked when the dishes were served. We had just ordered 4 chickens for 4 young ladies while 1 portion is enough to be shared by 2 people. The inner chicken was filled with glutinous rice, ginseng and other medical herbs and grains. 




They also served a small cup of Ginseng alcohol per customers and there are unlimited Kimchi 
and pickles on the dining table for the customers. 

How to reach there?
Gyeongbokgung Station (Seoul Subway Line 3), Exit 2.
Go straight about 170m and turn left onto Jahamun-ro 5-gil Road.
Tosokchon (토속촌) is located 10m ahead on the left.
