Being able to grab a warm bowl when day blurs into night is surprisingly comforting. A clear, soothing broth and a filling meal feel extra satisfying when you don't have to worry about the clock. Haejangguk delivers that cozy contentment with deeply simmered stocks and balanced ingredients, and restaurants that keep their lights on through the night earn a special kind of trust. Here are Seoul spots where you can enjoy haejangguk any hour.
Delicious and open 24 hours? Sindang's Gul Yechan
Gul Yechan is a long-running oyster specialty spot in Sindang that stays open 24/7, so it's a go-to for late-night and early-morning diners. Their gul-gukbap piles oysters and mushrooms into a light, fragrant broth with rice gently ladled in — the mild seasoning lets the seafood and mushroom aromas take center stage. If you prefer a soup-only option, try the gul-tang. In raw oyster season they source fresh oysters from Tongyeong daily, and the sashimi is a must-try.

Hotspot for seonji haejangguk, Cheongdam-dong's Saebyeokjip
True to its name, Saebyeokjip stays open through the night and draws a steady late-night crowd in Cheongdam-dong. Tucked just south of Yeongdong Bridge, this Korean comfort-food spot is known for celebrity visits after hours. It even appeared on a popular food show, and many people come during the day for the standout hanwoo yukhoe bibimbap. Aside from the raw beef bibimbap, their seonji haejangguk — served as a separate soup — is a beloved choice.

A drinker's refuge — Seongsikyung’s go-to in Sinseol-dong, Eomeoni Daesungjip
At Eomeoni Daesungjip in Sinseol-dong, a single slice of braised entrails pairs perfectly with a bottle of soju. Their tender boiled beef and rich, savory entrails practically demand a drink. The meat is clean-tasting and cooked until melt-in-your-mouth soft — a true highlight. Their haejangguk, made with 55 years of know-how, features finely chopped brisket and generous, tender mustard greens. The soup is a clean, comforting bowl: a 24-hour simmered beef bone stock with large pieces of seonji adding a toasty richness.

24-hour seolleongtang favorite, Nonhyeon's Yeongdong Seolleongtang
Sitting across the alley from the spots famous for spicy braised monkfish and soy-marinated crab, Yeongdong Seolleongtang opened in the mid-'70s and has been in its current location for about 40 years — a true neighborhood institution with roughly 45 years of history. It's busy 24/7: dawn for hangover cures, midday for lunch, and evenings for drinks. Their signature seolleongtang comes in a stone pot with a rich broth, meat, and somyeon noodles — served plain so you can season it at the table with scallions, pepper, and salt. If you like a gentler bowl, ask them to skip the MSG when you order.

Finish your hangover with a clean, refreshing broth — Eunpyeong's Netgiri Kongnamul Gukbap
