City Guide Review: Geumgok Samgyetang (Daegu)
Nested at the heart of Daegu is a picturesque restaurant draped in ivy — home to some of the best samgyetang (Korean-style chicken soup) in Daegu. The best part is that the soup is MSG-free! Samgyetang is a traditional Korean chicken soup made with sweet rice and flavored with ginger. At Geumgok Samgyetang, the dish is served with some radish kimchi and marinated garlic.
