At Daesungjip, a rich, milky broth comes brimming with tender beef knee cartilage (dogani), tendon (suji), and shank (satae), all served with a dose of old-school hospitality. There’s no trace of gaminess—just a clean, subtly sweet broth with a luxuriously silky mouthfeel from well-emulsified fat. The steaming soup, springy dogani, and fluffy rice form a perfect trio, elevated by sharp kimchi, crisp kkakdugi, and bold gochujang garlic on the side. Owner Lee Chun-hee, still behind the ladle daily, may just be the key to the unwavering quality of this beloved doganitang.
