The best Haemultang in Korea
In Korea, the best Haemultang (seafood hot pot, 해물탕) tends to come from the places that have lasted. Each of these 9 restaurants is an officially recognized 백년가게, a business the Korean Ministry of SMEs certifies for 30 or more years of continuous operation. Korea's restaurant scene turns over fast, so a place that has served the same dish for decades has earned the word "best." Pick one near you and open it in your own map app for photos, hours, and directions.
