Tosokchon places top 2 on the must-try korean food in Seoul - well at least based on the article I read. So when I went there last January 2016, I made sure I'd be able to try out the resto. They said there’s always a long queue but when I went there, there was just a decent number of customers – had an early lunch by the way on a Sunday, around 11AM. Not sure if that explains it.
Their Samgyetang is served sizzling hot, full of herbs and spices, and very enticing. Perfect for the cold winter. Note that this comes with a free side dish like kimchi. The chicken and the soup really tasted good - your taste buds can easily distinguish that the ingredients are fresh.
Just a note though, you’d have one whole chicken in one serving. So if you just want to try this most-raved about Samgyetang and is travelling with a group, suggest you order one. Well, it surely’s still a case to case basis – depending on the capacity of your stomach and how hungry you are at the moment.

The place is a must visit for foreign tourists! Despite the fact that the price of the samgyetang is higher than average (15000 won compared to the usual 10000 won in other places), the place always has a waiting line during dining hours. Personally thought the place was kind of overhyped though. Although you could feel that they put more effort into using quality ingredients and whatnots, I felt that the taste was not that different from other places.
