Located inside Andong's Central New Market, this restaurant has been run by three generations for over 50 years and serves just one dish. Scallions, chili, dried cabbage leaves and ox blood simmer for hours in a large iron pot, giving a bright red broth with deep flavour. All ingredients are sourced domestically in Korea. It has appeared on the TV programme Wednesday Foodie. It opens at 8:30 a.m., making it a good breakfast or hangover fix. Queues are common at mealtimes, but tables turn over quickly. Expect around KRW 10,000–12,000 per person; it is a short walk from the old market area in Andong.
