Hansung Kalguksu

A friend recommended this family-run spot, and wow, it did not disappoint! The Jeyuk (boiled pork belly) is hands down the best I’ve ever had. I regret ordering the small portion—should’ve gone big and skipped one of the other dishes! The pork belly is tender, with zero "piggy" smell (a rare feat), and the Saeujeot (shrimp sauce) is incredibly fresh, savory, and pairs perfectly with the meat. The Nakji-Beokkeum (spicy stir-fried octopus) was another highlight. The portion is generous, made with fresh, local small octopus, and the sauce is a perfect balance of sweet, salty, and a sneaky kick of spice. You can even add noodles to soak up all that deliciousness. The Anju-Mandu (jumbo Korean dumplings) are no joke—huge and hearty! The hot soup they come in is just what you need on a chilly day. I arrived around noon on a weekday, so there was a short wait, but it moved quickly. The service was warm, friendly, and super efficient.

This is a traditional restaurant that has been around since 1983. They offer some decent Korean dishes like shrimp jeon and jeyook. Their specialties are jeyook and sooyook. The restaurant moved to this location a few years ago, but the previous location was better.

We honestly really liked the noodle soup, it was clean and great hand pulled texture. The Mandu were okay, but the pork belly and shrimp fritters were the best! It was quick, cheap and delicious!

Super authentic Korea food! Must try the braised beef and Octopus spicy noodles! This place is very popular and doesn’t take any reservations so make sure to come early or be prepared to queue up with the other locals.

It’s very hard to make Kalguksu this bad. Don’t come here and save time and money going to another restaurant. It was really busy but im assuming everyone is there to just try it and won’t come back second time. Portion is very small aswell but they make it look generous by giving noodle refill.

Korean traditional 주점(Ju Jeom : Korean equivalent of bistrot) with great quality and very traditional taste. Their foods are amazing but the price is quite expensive.
