POLLO GINSENG
If chicken soup for the soul is what you’re looking for, this samgyetang restaurant in Seoul has been feeding hungry souls since 1960.

They buy chickens that were raised for approximately 49 days and add gingseng, jujube, garlic and sticky rice along with several traditional Korean medicinal herbs. Koryeo Samgyetang has exactly what you need: Korean chicken soup for the body and soul.
