Herbal Samgyetang
A clear broth infused with ginseng and medicinal herbs. Start here on your first visit.
Samgyetang, steamed in a siru
We age our chicken for three days, then slowly steam it in a siru.
The meat falls off the bone. The broth stays clear and deep.
Hanbang Samgye Myeongga Siheung is a samgyetang (Korean ginseng chicken soup) restaurant that opened in 2020 at 1F, 8 Siheung-daero 63-gil, Geumcheon-gu, Seoul, a 5-minute walk from Exit 1 of Geumcheon-gu Office Station. Fresh Harim chicken is aged for 3 days and steamed in a siru, a traditional earthenware steamer, then served as herbal, mung bean or perilla samgyetang. After samgyetang, our most popular dish is dakbokkeumtang (spicy braised chicken). Kimchi is made in-house with Korean ingredients, and groups of 10 to 52 can book. Open weekdays 10:30–22:00 and weekends 10:30–21:00, closed every third Saturday. Most dishes are available for takeout (except jjukkumi, dakgalbi, budae-jjigae, kalguksu and tteok-mandu-guk). To book, call 0507-1361-8873.
Our process
We steam instead of boil. It takes longer, but the chicken keeps its natural flavor and the herbs keep their aroma.
We only use fresh, never frozen, chicken.
Three days of aging removes gaminess and tenderizes the meat.
The chicken is slowly cooked with medicinal herbs in a traditional earthenware steamer.
Served piping hot in your choice of herbal, mung bean or perilla broth.
We never serve imported kimchi. Ours is made in the restaurant with Korean ingredients. As a CESCO Members restaurant, we keep strict hygiene standards.
Group dining
We have plenty of seating for company dinners and family gatherings around Geumcheon-gu and Siheung-dong.
Visitor info
Closed every third Saturday of the month.
