Compiled from 15 blog posts read in fullSources →
A hand-cut noodle shop at 290 Gwangnaru-ro in Seongsu-dong 2-ga, across from the Seongdong tax office. Kalguksu, kaljebi and sujebi come in a doenjang-based broth for 9,000 won a bowl, or 12,000 won as a set with two steamed dumplings. Nine posts say extra noodles and rice are free. We read 20 posts from November 30, 2024 to September 7, 2026; 18 describe an actual visit. A March 2025 post noted prices had gone up 1,000 won and the dumpling set was new since the writer's previous visit.

Rows without a count: 5 of 10 posts.
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
- Kimchi is self-served or refilled; four posts say so. One describes it arriving in a small crock to take from as needed, another says the writer went back for more about four times. Several posts note that kimchi, with a chopped chili paste, is the only side.
- Six posts call it cheap and none call it expensive. One marvels at a bowl this size for 9,000 won in Seongsu; the March 2025 post said it was still good value despite the 1,000-won rise. Two posts found the portions large.
- Many are repeat customers: six posts mention earlier visits, including one writer who has come since childhood, one who eats alone here on late-work nights, and one who goes after work to avoid the lunch crowd.

Two posts say there is no parking, and one driver paid at a nearby lot. The tip to use the tax office lot opposite appears only in a copied info block.

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
2 posts say it is walkable from the station.
Getting inside
No post described the floor from experience; only the address says ground floor.
We don't know whether there is a step at the door or whether a wheelchair or stroller can get in; no post mentioned it.
No post said where the toilet is or whether it is separated by gender.
No one mentioned: Second floor · 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 17 posts we gathered, 2 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.
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
- Seating is tight: two posts say the tables are packed close together, and none describe the room as roomy.
- Posts disagree on getting there: two found it easy by public transport (on a main road, one bus ride), two said it is far from the subway, and one advised taking a local bus because Seongsu Station is a long walk. The 745 m distance from exit 2 appears only in a copied info block.
- Waiting is unclear: one post says there is a queue at lunch and one guesses lunch might be a little busy. No post gave a waiting time.
- Ten posts list opening hours, all in copied info blocks: mostly 10:30-20:30 with a 15:00-16:00 break and Sundays off. Five say Saturday closes at 15:00, two give the same hours Monday through Saturday, one puts the break end at 16:30, and one headline claims there is no break at all.
- Prices have changed: a March 2025 post noted a 1,000-won rise, and posts from May 2025 to April 2026 consistently give 9,000 won a bowl and 12,000 won for the set. No post recorded the earlier price.
- Two posts give different phone numbers (02-462-4389 and 02-462-4839). Bookings are mentioned only in a copied block, so we don't know whether you can reserve.
