It was my first time eating malatang. YouTuber Karami recommended it to me so I went there. The beef was absolutely delicious, but the sancho or spices were not to my taste. As you can see, the sweet and sour pork has a strong seasoning.

I wanted to eat real Rajji, so I went there even though it was far away, but it was delicious!!!

it is delicious! It's attractive. It's definitely different from Korean malatang.

I keep coming back to Konkuk University Bongja Malatang because the Malatang is clean and delicious without being greasy. The broth has a good balance, so the taste of the ingredients is vivid! Fried rice is an absolute must to make it complete. My ttogajip❤️

A place where you can eat real malatang! You can feel the flavor of the fragrant mara. The soup is clean and has a deep homemade taste. When ordering malatang, you must order fried rice here. The grains of rice are well seasoned and seasoned well! Maratang For me, this place is number one.

Since the woman came alone and ate a bowl of Malatang, they didn't even take the luggage off the table. It was as friendly as eating at home; The female owner is so unfriendly... I came here to avoid dinner time, and there was a group of customers in the store. The owner told me to sit in the corner so that he could take away my luggage, so I cleaned up the cushion and sat down. It's normal for them to throw the menu, and when I ordered Malatang, I asked them to move the table one more time, but she just pushed it to the side. The two tables in front of the kitchen were all piled up with the owner's personal luggage, so I asked if I could put it away, and she said no. Since I ordered one, I just ate it. The tables are sticky, there aren't many ingredients for this price, and the nearby Chinese restaurant is delicious, but I don't think I'll come here and eat... Be careful if you're just going to eat malatang with girls.

Konkuk University Bongjamaratang. This is a long-established Chinese restaurant in Seoul with a local Chinese flavor that is hard to find in Korea. This restaurant's signature dish, lamb malatang, is made with various spices such as dried chili peppers and huahuao, but if you are not used to foods with such a strong flavor, you may have some preferences. However, after eating it a few times, it has a strangely addictive quality that makes you want to keep eating it. The Jisamseondo was so delicious that I wanted to eat it with rice😋 It's good value for money, and the strangely addictive taste of Bongjamaratang makes me want to try other menu items next time. 📌 Menu - Lamb Malatang - Stir-fried Three-Colored Vegetables - Water Dumplings 🚨For more detailed information about the restaurant (reservation/menu/parking, etc.), please check the ‘Restaurant Travels of the Unfamiliar’ blog!

It tastes good, but it’s not especially distinctive. Don’t come all the way out here—find a good local spot in your own neighborhood.
