If you’re around Daehak-ro and craving something warm, spicy, and customizable, you’ve got to try 샹츠마라!

You pick your own ingredients (veggies, noodles, tofu, meats), and they cook everything in a rich, numbing-spicy broth. The spice level is adjustable, so it works whether you want mild or full-on mala.

The place is casual and popular with students and theater-goers, so the vibe is lively but relaxed — great before or after a show, or just a chill meal with friends.

Bonus: They also offer dry malatang if you’re not in the mood for soup.

📍 Location: Near Daehak-ro (Hyehwa Station area), Jongno-gu, Seoul
💸 Price: About 10,000–15,000 KRW depending on ingredients

Great for quick meals, late dinners, or when you’re craving something spicy and filling!
