Compiled from 20 blog posts read in fullSources →
A clam kalguksu house on the second and third floors of its own building down a side street near Yangjae Station (65 Gangnam-daero 37-gil, Seocho-gu). Kalguksu, Pyongyang dumplings and dumpling soup are 12,000 won each, summer cold soybean noodles 13,000 won, bossam and jokbal 50,000 won. The ground floor is parking. The building is new; three posts remember an earlier single-storey place with a hall and a floor-seating room. We read 30 posts from 15 July to 14 October 2026; 20 of them record an actual meal.

Counted from what bloggers wrote in their posts; we did not confirm it with the restaurant. Where the values differ, it may be a change over time rather than a disagreement, so we show when each one was written.
What sets it apart
- Waits vary. Five posts queued and four walked straight in. One waited on the stairs after 2pm on a weekday, one found a long line near the end of lunch, one queued at 12:30 but got in quickly; one found it easy around 11am. There is no ticket or app, and a sign says the whole party must be present before being seated.
- Food comes fast: five posts say so, one under five minutes, one almost on sitting down. A party of seven found only the kalguksu took about ten minutes.
- Seven posts found the portions large, one calling it nearly one and a half servings; one post disagreed.

Eight posts say the building has parking, and two describe attendants taking the car. One estimated about ten spaces, found it full at 12:30 and paid 5,000 won at a nearby lot; another left the key and had to walk to wherever the car had been moved.

Where it is
We could not find this shop’s own listing on Naver Map, so the link searches for its Korean name around this spot instead.
From the station
1 posts say it is walkable from the station.
Getting inside
| Second floor | 7 of 20 posts |
|---|
The dining rooms are on the second and third floors; seven posts mention going up, and one sat on the third floor. The ground floor is a car park.
No post mentions a basement; the floors described are ground-floor parking and dining on two and three.
We don't know about steps at the entrance or wheelchair and stroller access. Three posts mention climbing stairs; none says whether there is a lift.
We don't know where the toilets are or whether they are separate; no post says.
No one mentioned: In a basement · Lift to the floor · Ramp at the door · Step at the entrance · Step-free access · Toilet inside · Accessible toilet · Separate restrooms. That is not the same as there being none — it means we could not confirm it. Worth calling ahead, and do tell us: we will put it here.

Posts that followed a TV spot
Of the 29 posts we gathered, 9 went up on a single day right after a TV spot and show no sign of a visit. They retell the broadcast, so we left them out of the counts.
| 2026-10-05 | 2 posts in one day |

We do not discard them. That a TV spot produced a burst of posts is itself something worth knowing about a place, and a star rating will not show it.

What we do not know
- The current building is new: one post says the restaurant expanded into it, two remember the old single-storey room with floor seating. No post dates the move, so we have not counted anything about the old place.
- Opinions on price split: one says expensive, two say not, three don't conclude. Menu prices agree across July to October 2026, though one listing gives 11,000 won for kalguksu and one caption gives 11,000 won for the soybean noodles.
- Most posts give 11am to 9pm, closed Mondays, but largely copied from listings. One says weekdays run to 9:30pm and one says Sundays closed. No post mentions a break time.
- Only one post describes getting there: about five minutes' walk from Yangjae Station, tucked into a side street, and it recommends public transport. Other exit numbers and distances were copied from listings.
- No post reports booking; the note that group bookings go by phone is copied. Many posts give the same phone number, 02-3473-7972.
- Only one post comments on service, unfavourably: four diners got two wet wipes.
