Best Herbal Chicken Soup (Samgyetang-Style) in Calgary

(56 reviews)

A Hanyang Korean Restaurant favourite, our Herbal Chicken Soup is prepared samgyetang-style: a whole young chicken stuffed with sticky rice and simmered for hours in a milky, medicinal broth infused with ginseng root, jujube dates, garlic, and chestnuts. The result is fall-off-the-bone tender chicken in a broth that's mild, deeply nourishing, and traditionally believed to restore energy and vitality.

About Our Herbal Chicken Soup (Samgyetang-Style)

At Hanyang Korean Restaurant, our Herbal Chicken Soup is made the traditional samgyetang way - a whole young chicken is cleaned, stuffed with glutinous rice, garlic cloves, and jujube dates, then simmered slowly with fresh ginseng root until the meat turns tender and the broth turns rich and milky-white.

Ginseng has been used in Korean cooking for centuries to fortify the body, and this soup is traditionally enjoyed during the hottest days of summer to fight fatigue with heat - though it's just as comforting on a chilly Calgary evening. It's a simple, honest bowl that lets the quality of the chicken and the fragrance of the herbs speak for themselves.

Why Our Herbal Chicken Soup Stands Out

What sets our Herbal Chicken Soup apart is the long, gentle simmer that keeps the chicken tender while drawing out the full aroma of the ginseng and jujube - a clean, nourishing broth rather than an overly rich or heavy one.

What Customers Say About Our Herbal Chicken Soup (Samgyetang-Style)

James O.
Chinook Centre Local

"The chicken practically falls apart with your spoon and the broth has this gentle ginseng aroma that's so comforting. Feels like medicine that actually tastes good."

Rachel N.
Southwood Resident

"I always order this when I'm feeling run down. The sticky rice inside the chicken is such a nice touch, and the broth is so soothing."

July 2026
Steven Y.
Acadia Visitor

"A whole chicken in the pot and it's still tender all the way through. This is real, traditional samgyetang - not the watered-down version you find elsewhere."
