The restaurant is devoted to serving <em>yukgaejang,<\/em> a spicy beef soup dish which was previously served\u00a0as part of the Korean royal court cuisine during the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910). It is a popular soup dish because of its health benefits.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">In Manila, Yukdaejang makes sure that what they offer would suit the Filipino taste. With most of their dishes being vegetarian-friendly, they try to create delicious and nutritious dishes for everyone to try.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-22330\" src=\"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/04\/yukgaejang-bgc-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\"><em>Original Yukgaejang (Php 400)<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">What makes their <em>yukgaejang<\/em> full-flavored is because their beef soup is boiled for 24 hours.
