About this place
One dish that diners single out at Ku-tan is dak-kal-guksu, a hot pot of chicken simmered for a long time in broth, bone-in chicken, spring onions, potatoes, tteok (rice cakes) and kalguksu noodles. The menu also offers it for 2 people. Lunch diners have described the cloudy, chicken-rich broth, the chewy texture of the flat noodles and the generous amount of ingredients. One diner also recommended it as a milder option for those who prefer less heat.
Seafood jeon is another dish to consider. One review praised its generous seafood filling and crisp outside, contrasting with a soft, fluffy centre. The menu also lists chive jeon and cheese-and-potato jeon, so there are options for a shared dinner around the table. In the evening, small plates such as bossam, tteokbokki and steamed dumplings are available too.
Lunch sets include beef bulgogi, sundubu and stone-pot bibimbap, served with rice or soup, Korean seaweed, salad and kimchi, depending on the set. In Ogikubo, Ku-tan offers a choice of Korean dishes ranging from weekday-style lunch sets to hot pots and small plates in the evening.
