OUR STORY

Ten years on the cutting board.

— CHAPTER 01

Ten years in the middle of an Insadong alley.

Doma Insadong is a Korean restaurant at 6-1 Insadong 8-gil, in the middle of an alley lined with craft shops and tea houses. The business has been registered at this address since 2017, and we have been cooking sotbap — rice steamed to order in its own stone pot — for close to ten years. Many guests walk over after seeing Gyeongbokgung Palace, Gwanghwamun, Bukchon, Jogyesa Temple or Cheonggyecheon, which makes this a Korean restaurant as much for visitors as for the neighbourhood. Traditional Korean culture and traditional Korean food, still alive in the middle of a very modern downtown.

FIG. 02CHAPTER 02

— CHAPTER 02

A soybean paste stew twenty years in the making.

Our glass door says, in Korean, “the best soybean paste stew in Seoul.” That is our own claim and we stand behind it: it is the dish we have been making the same way for twenty years, and it comes with every sotbap set and every charcoal-grilled set on the menu. You can also order it on its own for ₩8,000. At a Korean restaurant, we think everything is judged by the bowl of stew.

Timber beams and a folk-painting tiger.

Above the entrance hangs a minhwa — Korean folk painting — of tigers with magpies, rabbits, a cauldron and an open fire. Inside, thick timber columns, walls built from salvaged old doors and low pendant lamps set the room. For makgeolli we pour Boksoondoga, Jipyeong and Buja Makgeolli, with Sejan Makgeolli served as an aperitif. The idea is simple: a Korean restaurant should look and feel like one, not only taste like one.

— CHAPTER 04

Menus in four languages.

We keep printed menus in Korean, English, Japanese and Chinese, and each dish lists its ingredients and how it is cooked — so a first visit to a Korean restaurant does not have to start with guesswork. The gondre and lotus-root sotbap has a vegetarian option; just ask a member of staff. Takeaway is available alongside dining in.

    도마 DOMA 인사점...!! 매우 쾌적하고 깔끔하며 한국적인 안락한 분위기에서, 서울 최고의 된장찌개를 즐기실 수 있는 곳입니다. 한옥을 기반으로 지어진 건물이 무척 인상깊네요. 음식을 말씀드리자면 된장찌개도 완벽하지만, 해물파전과 고기구이도 아주 아주 맛이 좋았습니다. 인사동에 위치해있기에 접근성과 입지 모두 참으루 좋았습니다. 추천드리고 싶은 맛집입니다. 외국인 분들도 Korean Quisine을 제대로 즐기시고 싶을때 가보시면 후회하시지 않을 것입니다. 토종 한국인분들도, 시골 밥상이 그리울때 한번 가보시기를 강조드려요~~!! 소주 한잔 곁들이기 너무나 좋은 장소입니다 :)

  • W***e

    I loved the seasoned thistle rice hot pot! It's the kind of meal that reminds you how great simple rice can taste. The beef soybean paste soup included in the set was a perfect match and really brought out the flavors of the rice. This meal was pure comfort food. Highly recommended for anyone craving authentic hot pot rice and bean paste soup. — Seasoned thistle with rice in a hot pot set는 정말 너무 맛이 좋았다. 이렇게 밥이 맛있는거구나 하고, 느끼게 해준다. 정식에 따라오는 beef soybean paste soup도, 솥밥과 너무 잘어울렸고, 밥맛을 한층 맛있게 만들어 줬다. 따뜻한 솥밥과 된장찌개는 마음을 포근하게 감싸주는 듯 했다. 맛있는 밥과찌게를 원하면, 이곳을 꼭 방문해 보기 바란다.

  • 꼴**마

    가격도 괜찮구 마약까지는 아니지만ㅋ 된찌맛나요~ 냉이랑 고기랑 건더기도 많구 흔히 먹게되는 된장찌개맛있는 식당집꺼에다가 건더기가 많아서 좋았어용! 육회비빔밥도 육회푸짐하고 고기랑된찌는 솥밥으로 바꿀수있어서 숭늉도 먹고 맛있게 잘먹었습니당! 아, 이베리코 고기에다가 허브소금이나 와사비찍어먹으니 넘맛있네요ㅜ

  • R***k

    된장찌개 맛집으로 추천하고 싶은 곳입니다. 가격도 대체로 합리적이고 전통적인 느낌을 가진 곳이라 자주 찾는 곳입니다. 단, 점심시간에는 일찍 가지 않으면 오랫동안 대기를 해야하는 곳이므로 참고하시기 바랍니다. 된장찌개와 함께 선택할 수 있는 제육볶음, 고등어구이, 비빔밥 등이 정식 형태로 나오니 입맛에 따라 골라 먹을 수 있습니다. 된장찌개 위에 얹어 나오는 달래 맛이 신의 한수.

  • S***K

    맛은 좋지만 좀 어수선한 자리들이 있어요. 음식은 정식이 제일 무난하고 솥밥 안 좋아하는 분은 다른 메뉴에 공깃밥으로 하세요. 웨이팅 예전보다는 심하지 않아요

  • N***e

    된장도 맛있고 갈비솥밥도 맛있어요. 된장에 고기도 푸짐했고 솥밥에 갈비도 푸짐하게 들었어용 은행과 대추 밤을 같이 넣고 만들어서 잡내없이 좋은맛이어용

  • N**T

    마약된장찌개라고 해서 기대 많았는데, 된장찌개에 소고기+달래+냉이라니. 맛이 없을 수가 없는 조합 아닌가. 집에서 끓여도 나르코스 꼬라인 된장찌개다. 건더기도 푸짐함. 이베리코 돼지 목살 정식, 갈비 솥밥 정식 먹었는데 개인적으론 이베리코 쪽이 입에 맞음. 직원분들 친절하고 추가 잘주셔서 그냥 별 5개. 재방문하면 친절한 직원분들 때문. 언제 가도 대기는 각오해야함.

  • m**s

    휴일 저녁에 예약하고 방문했습니다. 음식 맛있고, 양도 많아서 배부르게 잘 먹었습니다.

  • G***K

    식사시간에는 줄서서 대기해야 하는데 대기판에 전화번호를 적고 차례가 되면 카톡으로 알려준다. 고기한판과 된장찌개를 주문했다. 좋은 고기를 잘 구워서 제공하는데 고기 양이 많아서 가성비도 있는편. 같이 나오는 양파 브로콜리등 구운 채소도 맛있다. 마약 된장찌개라고 하나 개인적으로 고기들어간 찌개를 안좋아해서 불호. 그러나 좋아하는사람이 더 많은듯. 직원이 음식 설명도 잘해주고 친절하다

  • C***m

    된장찌개와 솥밥이 정말 잘어울렸습니다. 갈비솥밥이 일반 솥밥보다 더 고소해서 된장찌개와 더 잘 어울렸습니다. 정갈한 반찬과 고기가 마음에 들었고 특히 마약된장찌개라는 말이 무색치 않을 정도로 훌륭한 맛으로 찌개를 좋아하지 않는 와이프도 한 그릇을 비웠습니다. 재방문 의사 100%입니다~!

  • 나**록

    가성비가 좀 떨어지긴 하지만 기본기가 충실하고 음식 맛은 훌륭합니다. 외국인도 많이 찾고, 퇴근한 직장인들의 휴식처랄까... 막걸리 한잔에 딱 어울리는 좋은 음식점입니다. n차 방문했는데 이제서야 리뷰 남기네요 ㅎㅎ

  • L***C

    인사동 쌈지길 근처 맛집입니다. 가격대가 조금은 있지만 한식을 좋아하시는 분이라면 꼭 한번쯤은 들러보셔야할 맛집입니다. 갓 지은 솥밥에 나물반찬과 마약된장찌개와 본인이 고른 메인메뉴를 같이 먹으면 너무 맛있습니다. 마지막 나올때는 요구르트 필수입니다 ㅎㅎ

FAQ

Frequently asked

The questions we are asked most about hours, booking, the menu and language support.

Where is Doma Insadong?

6-1 Insadong 8-gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul. This Korean restaurant is about a 5-minute walk from Anguk Station (Line 3) Exit 6 and about 7 minutes from Jonggak Station (Line 1) Exit 3. Turn into the alley beside the Taeseonggwan Chinese restaurant and look for the yellow “도마” sign under the folk-painting tigers.

What are your opening hours?

Open daily 11:30–21:00, with a break from 15:30 to 17:00. Last order is 14:50 for lunch and 20:20 for dinner. We do not take orders during the break, so please plan your visit around it.

Can I make a reservation?

Yes. Phone (+82 2-733-9376) and Naver booking are both available on weekdays and weekends, for every service hour. Please note that CatchTable handles remote waitlisting only, not reservations.

Do you have menus in other languages?

Yes — printed menus in Korean, English, Japanese and Chinese are on every table. Each dish lists its ingredients and cooking method, which makes ordering straightforward even on a first visit to a Korean restaurant.

What should I order?

The soybean paste stew we have made for twenty years, which is included with every sotbap set and charcoal-grilled set. For a first visit, the short-rib sotbap set (₩25,000) or the beef and Jeju radish sotbap set (₩17,000) are good places to start. For a group, try the meat set (₩56,000) or the black pork shabu-shabu (₩24,000).

Do you have a vegetarian option?

The Jeongseon gondre and lotus-root sotbap set (₩21,000) has a vegetarian option — please ask a member of staff when ordering and we will go through it with you. Note that the standard set comes with the soybean paste stew, which contains beef.

Is there parking?

We do not have a private car park. Parts of Insadong are pedestrian-only, so the subway or a nearby public car park is easiest — we are about a 5-minute walk from Anguk Station Exit 6.

Do you offer takeaway or delivery?

Takeaway is available alongside dining in. Delivery and which dishes are available for it can change, so please call +82 2-733-9376 to check.

What is nearby?

Gyeongbokgung Palace, Gwanghwamun, Bukchon, Jogyesa Temple and Cheonggyecheon are all within walking distance. Many guests come for a meal after browsing the craft shops and tea houses along Insadong street.

Has the restaurant been on television?

Yes. The black pork shabu-shabu was featured on Matissneun Nyeoseokdeul, the soybean paste stew and short-rib sotbap set on MBC Live Today, and the stew sets together with our three sotbap on SBS Live Today.
