Bonjuk 본죽 Seoul National University Station

Despite its name, Bonjuk is not located directly next to the subway station, and you have to walk a bit uphill to reach it. It is situated in a red corner building that is easily visible from afar. Bonjuk specializes in Korean porridge, with options like sweet pumpkin porridge, red bean porridge, and red bean porridge. These porridges are popular in Korea and enjoyed by people of all ages, especially when feeling under the weather. The prices are around 10,000 KRW and the portion sizes are generous. Personally, I don't usually eat porridge, but I found Bonjuk to be a reliable option for a herbal meal when other options weren't available. This review was last updated on December 24, 2021.
