Matsuni Sundaeguk Gamjatang
맛순이 순대국 감자탕 The sign is the shop's nickname plus the two things it sells: sundae-guk, pork-and-blood-sausage soup, and gamjatang, the pork-spine pot — though what people actually order is the ppyeojjim, the same spine served without broth.

Matsuni Sundaeguk Gamjatang is a pork-soup and pork-spine house two minutes on foot from exit 3 at Ujangsan on line 5, on the ground floor of a roadside building past Songhwa market on the way into Hwagok-dong. It opens at eight in the morning and closes at ten at night, so people come both to cure a hangover and to drink through an evening — but it is known for the ppyeojjim rather than for the gamjatang on its sign: pork spine without broth, tossed in a hot red sauce under a heap of bean sprouts, sold only in portions for two, three or four. The soups — sundae-guk, spine soup, offal soup — are single bowls you can eat alone, and the side dishes come from a help-yourself counter.

Counted from what bloggers wrote in their posts; we did not confirm it with the restaurant. Where the values differ, it may be a change over time rather than a disagreement, so we show when each one was written.
What sets it apart
- Not one writer ordered the gamjatang on the sign. It appears only as a name and a price copied off the board, and two of those mentions are promises to try it next time. What people order is the ppyeojjim — one came because a friend insisted on it, another because few places sell it at all. Two writers could not finish the two-person portion, and one gave up on the bowl of rice she had meant to have with it. On how the gamjatang tastes we have nothing to report.
- The side dishes are yours to fetch, as often as you like. Radish kimchi, cabbage kimchi, green chillies, raw onion and chopped chilli seasoning sit on a counter at one side — "help yourself as much as you want, no need to catch anyone's eye," as one writer puts it. One post says the kimchi is made on the premises, and several others, independently of that, simply say it was good. Ground perilla and chilli seasoning are set out to stir into the bowl; shrimp paste and pepper are on the table.
- On the thing that usually divides opinion at a pork-soup house — the barnyard smell — nobody disagrees. Writers call the broth clean and free of it; not one reports catching it. The meat "falls apart at the touch of a chopstick" and "comes off the bone with no effort" in several accounts, and one writer found it too thick for a single mouthful. The sauce on the ppyeojjim is hot but not fierce: a writer who dislikes chilli calls it only mildly so, and another says it is nowhere near punishing.
- It opens at eight in the morning. Two writers give the walk from the station — 150 metres from exit 3 by one account, two minutes by the other. The early opening means one writer had spine soup and sundae-guk for breakfast; by day the room fills with people who work and live nearby, and in the evening it turns into a drinking room. One writer infers that last part from seeing sulguk and boiled pork on the list. All five posts that give hours agree on 08:00–22:00 — but they disagree about the closing day (see below).

Getting there
Naver Map has a full English mode — Settings → Language → English. In Korea it gives better walking and transit directions than Google Maps.
Getting inside
Not one post says anything about a threshold, a ramp or wheelchair access. All six skip the way in and start at the table: nobody records a step, a lip at the door, or which way the door swings. The registry lists the shop on the ground floor, but "ground floor" in a registry is not the same as level entry. Whether you could get in with a wheelchair or a pushchair, we do not know. If it matters, the telephone is the only way to find out.
No one mentioned: Second floor · In a basement · Lift to the floor · Ramp at the door · Step at the entrance · Step-free access · Toilet inside · Accessible toilet · Separate restrooms. That is not the same as there being none — it means we could not confirm it. Worth calling ahead, and do tell us: we will put it here.

What we do not know
- The posts disagree about the closing day. A June 2025 writer states plainly: open Tuesday to Sunday, eight until ten, closed every Monday. The others — including one from the same month and one from April 2026 — say "every day, 08:00–22:00", and several of those are lifting the line from a place-information block at the foot of the post. We could not settle whether a Monday closure was copied away as "every day", or whether the shop changed. If you are going on a Monday, ring first. No post mentions a mid-afternoon break or a last order — not that there is none, but that nobody wrote it down.
- Not one post mentions the toilet. Whether it is inside or out in the corridor, whether men's and women's are separate, how big it is — there is not a line in any of the six. For a place that serves soup from eight in the morning until ten at night that is a fair thing to wonder about, and we have no answer. This is not a report that there is no toilet; it is a report that nobody wrote about it.
- Not one post mentions a floor or a stairway. The registry gives the address as ground floor and the photographs show a sign at street level, but no writer says anything about which floor they were on or whether they went up or down to get there. Whether there is a second room upstairs, we have not confirmed.
- Not one post reports queueing. Two other things are written down instead. The first is that the room fills fast: "there was nobody when we walked in, and it was full soon after"; "it was dinner time, and it filled up while we ate." All six writers sat down without saying they waited. The second is that the ppyeojjim sells out often — the April 2026 writer got it on his fifth attempt, and asks "have you got bones today?" before anything else. The risk here reads as a wasted journey rather than a queue. No post says whether you can book.
- Two writers say the opposite about the size of the room. A July 2025 post calls it roomier than expected and very comfortable; a June 2025 post says it is not especially large, with about eight tables. Only the second writer counted the tables, so we have no other figure to weigh it against. There is room for a group around a pot of ppyeojjim; no post says whether there is a private room. Several describe old photographs on the wall and a homely feel.
- The telephone number in the registry does not match the one in the posts. Our ledger, taken from the business licence, gives 02-2602-5855; a July 2025 post and an April 2026 post both give 02-2620-1327. These are not transposed digits but different numbers. We have not established which one rings — that needs somebody to dial it, so we have left the registry value in place. Both posts carry their number inside a place-information block at the foot of the page.
- Prices went up during 2025, and one figure does not fit. Only two writers photographed the board, in July and in November. Over those four months the plain sundae-guk and the spine soup went from ₩9,000 to ₩10,000, and the gamjatang from ₩30,000 to ₩38,000 (medium) and ₩39,000 to ₩45,000 (large). The ppyeojjim did not move: ₩25,000, ₩35,000, ₩45,000 for two, three and four. The figure that does not fit is the spine soup — a June 2025 post gives ₩10,000, the July board ₩9,000. We could not settle whether the June writer misremembered or the price dipped. The only price in a 2026 post is ₩45,000 for the ppyeojjim, so what it costs now we do not know.
- No post declares that the meal was paid for by anyone else. Two say they paid themselves: one opens by stating the review was bought with his own money and without support of any kind, the other attaches a Naver receipt verification from November 2025. The remaining four say nothing about money. Saying nothing is neither a declaration that they paid nor an admission that they did not. We found no batch of near-identical posts uploaded on one day and no shared block of hashtags; the six dates are spread across fourteen months.
