There’s an entire bird in this Korean restaurant’s signature ginseng-chicken soup, and it sits in a wildly bubbling broth that’s subtly enriched with ginseng. In Korea, this stuff is served in the summer, but this is a quintessential winter soup, too—not aggressive in flavor but in comfort. For something a little stronger, try the spicy tofu stew, which proves that when served soft and warm and swimming in chili broth, tofu can be just as comforting as chicken.
