Olympic Cheonggukjang
About
Olympic Cheonggukjang, on Olympic Blvd in K-Town, specializes in cheonggukjang, a quick-fermented soybean paste that's richer and funkier than doenjang, served as a stew with multigrain rice and banchan. The kitchen keeps the salt low and skips the MSG, and Korean locals love it like home cooking.
Jasmine says
A soybean stew that's honestly funky and deeply fragrant.
