Tucked in a quiet residential neighborhood in Umyeon-dong, Seocho-gu, Sonamujip is a beloved local spot known for its cheongguk-dak-doritang — a spicy braised chicken stew enriched with cheonggukjang (Korean fermented soybean paste) for a deep, mellow flavor without being harsh. The menu also features freshwater fish dishes such as steamed and spicy catfish stew. It sits near Seonbawi Station (Line 4).
