Spicy mushroom stew, then noodles, then fried rice at the original Deungchon kalguksu house

Self-paid. The blogger paid for this visit.

A decades-old two-floor restaurant in Deungchon-dong, credited as the original of Seoul's spicy mushroom and minari kalguksu. One price covers three rounds in the same pot: mushroom stew, thick noodles, then fried rice with egg and minari.

버섯과 미나리에서 우러난 채수와 비법 양념이 섞여서 국물이 진짜 깊고 진국이에요
The vegetable stock from the mushrooms and minari mixes with the house seasoning, so the broth is really deep and rich.
