To Sok Chon

I had read about the best place to get chicken soup. To Sok Chon is located at 85-1 Chaebu-dong, Jongno-gu. From Gyeongbokgung, walk 1 block west and cross the street. Turn right. At the first street, turn left after the CVS store. The restaurant opens at 10 am.

The restaurant is a series of hanoks and we were shown to one with western tables, rather than the Japanese ones. 

You’ll see a placard showing chicken soup in front of the restaurant. There is no English sign for the restaurant.

  

The chicken soup (Samgyetang) arrived and it was still boiling. It’s a ginseng chicken soup and the chicken is stuffed with chestnut, garlic, dried jujubes, ginseng & rice. It was tasty but I’m not sure I’m a big fan of ginseng.
