# Giheung kalguksu restaurant picked from Naver Map trending: Jangwongap - By Jiwon Rae (https://superchart.com/en/@anseong-dusk-counter/) - Written Sep 21, 2026 - Local places › Restaurants › Yongin, Gyeonggi - Sponsored: This visit was sponsored by the business. - English edition: https://superchart.com/en/@anseong-dusk-counter/yongin-giheung-kalguksu-jangwongap/ - Also in: [한국어](https://superchart.com/ko/@anseong-dusk-counter/yongin-giheung-kalguksu-jangwongap/index.md) ## In short Jangwongap Kalguksu Yongin Giheung Branch is a beef brisket and minari (water parsley) shabu kalguksu (knife-cut noodle) restaurant on Gomae-ro in Giheung-gu, Yongin, Gyeonggi. Picked from Naver Map's real-time trending places ranking, the meal was a whole-shrimp seafood pancake and two servings of the spicy brisket-and-minari shabu kalguksu, with the noodles timed by hourglass at 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 minutes — the 8-minute noodles tasted best. Free perilla oil kkakdugi (diced radish kimchi) fried rice and misugaru (roasted grain drink) at the register make Jangwongap a keeper on the Lotte Premium Outlet and IKEA day-trip route. ## Good to know - **Restaurant**: Jangwongap Kalguksu Yongin Giheung Branch - **Address**: 1st floor, 90 Gomae-ro, Giheung-gu, Yongin-si, Gyeonggi-do - **Hours**: Daily 10:30–21:00 (break 16:00–17:00) - **Parking**: In front of the restaurant - **What we ordered**: Whole-shrimp seafood pancake; spicy beef brisket and minari shabu kalguksu for 2 - **Free extras**: Kkakdugi fried rice; misugaru and snacks at the register - **Noodle cooking time**: 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10 minutes, timed with a provided hourglass *as written by the visitor on Sep 21, 2026* ## Why we picked this Giheung kalguksu restaurant off Naver Map's trending list I visited Yongin over the weekend, and I tried a restaurant-finding trick I saw on a blog haha — it's such a great tip for a neighborhood you don't know well✨ When you open Naver Map, it shows the places that are currently trending in real-time directions, and a lot of genuinely good local spots pop up there haha We were searching for kalguksu (knife-cut noodle soup), and Jangwongap Kalguksu came up in the rankings, so we went 😋 - Restaurant: Jangwongap Kalguksu - Address: 90 Gomae-ro, 1st floor, Giheung-gu, Yongin-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - Hours: Daily 10:30–21:00 (break time 16:00–17:00) - Parking: In front of the restaurant ![Exterior of Jangwongap Kalguksu Yongin Giheung Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongin-giheung-kalguksu-jangwongap/yongin-giheung-kalguksu-jangwongap-01-39zy9-966.webp) ![Interior of Jangwongap Kalguksu Yongin Giheung Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongin-giheung-kalguksu-jangwongap/yongin-giheung-kalguksu-jangwongap-02-sb3gx-966.webp) ![Table setting at Jangwongap Kalguksu Yongin Giheung Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongin-giheung-kalguksu-jangwongap/yongin-giheung-kalguksu-jangwongap-03-t3wtl-966.webp) ## What two people order at Jangwongap Kalguksu We tried the signature menu — whole shrimp seafood pancake and two servings of spicy beef brisket-mugwort wrap shabu kalguksu. The kkakdugi (diced radish kimchi) fried rice came free haha ![Table spread for two of beef brisket-mugwort shabu kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongin-giheung-kalguksu-jangwongap/yongin-giheung-kalguksu-jangwongap-04-31atz-966.webp) ### Whole-shrimp seafood pancake: spicier than it looks The pancake came out first — crispy all over with shrimp and squid piled on top, really generous. "Whole shrimp seafood pancake" was exactly the right description, not a gap anywhere. It was a little spicy, which paired well with the seafood and kept it from feeling greasy — good for sharing between two. But if you can't handle spice, it might be a bit much 😂 ![Whole shrimp seafood pancake topped with shrimp and squid](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongin-giheung-kalguksu-jangwongap/yongin-giheung-kalguksu-jangwongap-05-usv5l-966.webp) ![A crispy-fried piece of whole shrimp seafood pancake](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongin-giheung-kalguksu-jangwongap/yongin-giheung-kalguksu-jangwongap-06-1nwe7-966.webp) ## Brisket and minari wraps with mill-pressed sesame oil sauce The beef brisket and mugwort wrap comes with sesame oil sauce. The mill-pressed sesame oil sauce is really the genius move here — honestly, there are so many kalguksu places with this mushroom-shabu vibe. As someone from Deungchon-dong who eats this kind of food often, I wondered if it would feel the same, but dipping the beef and fresh mugwort together in the oil sauce the way you're supposed to, it was more fragrant and worked better than I expected! ![Plate of beef brisket and fresh mugwort for wrapping](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongin-giheung-kalguksu-jangwongap/yongin-giheung-kalguksu-jangwongap-07-1wd98-966.webp) ![Beef brisket blanched in spicy broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongin-giheung-kalguksu-jangwongap/yongin-giheung-kalguksu-jangwongap-08-1naen-966.webp) ![Dipping beef brisket-mugwort wrap into sesame oil sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongin-giheung-kalguksu-jangwongap/yongin-giheung-kalguksu-jangwongap-09-yoz01-966.webp) ![Beef brisket wrapped in mugwort leaf](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongin-giheung-kalguksu-jangwongap/yongin-giheung-kalguksu-jangwongap-10-gnzkt-966.webp) They said the sesame oil is pressed directly at a mill, so maybe that's why it tasted even better. The sesame oil sauce was so good I had two servings. The soy-wasabi sauce tastes like something you can get anywhere, so I stuck with the sesame oil sauce the whole time. ![Small dish of mill-pressed sesame oil sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongin-giheung-kalguksu-jangwongap/yongin-giheung-kalguksu-jangwongap-11-if20d-966.webp) ![Sesame oil sauce compared with soy-wasabi sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongin-giheung-kalguksu-jangwongap/yongin-giheung-kalguksu-jangwongap-12-nhmkm-966.webp) ![Uiseong garlic kimchi served as a side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongin-giheung-kalguksu-jangwongap/yongin-giheung-kalguksu-jangwongap-13-1qnoc-966.webp) ![Table with garlic kimchi and shabu broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongin-giheung-kalguksu-jangwongap/yongin-giheung-kalguksu-jangwongap-14-sbkac-966.webp) ### The side dish to know: Uiseong garlic kimchi, Korean-grown cabbage The side dish is garlic kimchi — pleasantly spicy rather than harsh, so I kept reaching for more. With the recent scare over Chinese-sourced kimchi, I always check the origin these days 🧐 It said domestic napa cabbage at the entrance, so I could eat it with peace of mind! True to Uiseong garlic kimchi, the subtle garlic aroma coming through was the charm. ## Noodles at 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 minutes: which one tastes best? And now, the key point here — the noodles. They call it the omakase of kalguksu, with instructions on how to eat it! I figured following the expert's method would taste better, so I read it carefully and gave it a try. There's a sand-timer hourglass, so it's easy to time haha. My boyfriend scooped out the noodles at each interval so we could compare as we ate 😋 The doneness levels are spaced at 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 minutes, and from the first bite I understood why they're so proud of the noodles. Thick noodles usually risk tasting floury, but here they soak up the broth so well and stay chewy — the best kalguksu noodles I've had in a while. I personally like well-cooked noodles, so from the 8-minute mark on, it suited my taste more. ![Timing the kalguksu noodles with a sand-timer hourglass](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongin-giheung-kalguksu-jangwongap/yongin-giheung-kalguksu-jangwongap-15-6631w-966.webp) ![Thick kalguksu noodles lifted out of the broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongin-giheung-kalguksu-jangwongap/yongin-giheung-kalguksu-jangwongap-16-hgkms-966.webp) ![A chopstick-full of noodles cooked at different intervals](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongin-giheung-kalguksu-jangwongap/yongin-giheung-kalguksu-jangwongap-17-1w3ny-966.webp) I ate the noodles with the garlic kimchi and also with the sesame oil sauce. Dipping noodles in sesame oil sauce doesn't sound like it would work, but surprisingly it does haha ![Kalguksu noodles dipped in sesame oil sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongin-giheung-kalguksu-jangwongap/yongin-giheung-kalguksu-jangwongap-18-16j9m-1200.webp) ![Kalguksu noodles topped with garlic kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongin-giheung-kalguksu-jangwongap/yongin-giheung-kalguksu-jangwongap-19-q10vv-966.webp) ![Noodles and mushrooms submerged in spicy broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongin-giheung-kalguksu-jangwongap/yongin-giheung-kalguksu-jangwongap-20-1yet1-966.webp) ![Pot of kalguksu in its final stage of cooking](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongin-giheung-kalguksu-jangwongap/yongin-giheung-kalguksu-jangwongap-21-1rb18-966.webp) ## Free perilla oil kkakdugi fried rice and misugaru for dessert For the kkakdugi fried rice, you call a staff member over to order — they ladle out some broth and drizzle oil on the fried rice, and after that we do the stir-frying ourselves. The perilla oil kkakdugi fried rice was great too. The kkakdugi is a bit tangy, which made it even more appetizing haha ![Stir-frying perilla oil kkakdugi fried rice at the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongin-giheung-kalguksu-jangwongap/yongin-giheung-kalguksu-jangwongap-22-amxmw-966.webp) ![Golden-browned kkakdugi fried rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongin-giheung-kalguksu-jangwongap/yongin-giheung-kalguksu-jangwongap-23-hakb4-966.webp) ![A spoonful of finished perilla oil kkakdugi fried rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongin-giheung-kalguksu-jangwongap/yongin-giheung-kalguksu-jangwongap-24-qtg5e-966.webp) After eating well and heading out, I noticed misugaru and snacks set up near the register for dessert. The owner made sure we didn't miss it, telling us to definitely have a cup before leaving, so after eating our fill, a sweet cup of misugaru was the perfect finishing dessert haha ## Jangwongap as a stop on the Lotte Premium Outlet and IKEA route With Lotte Premium Outlet, IKEA, and Living Power Center (recommended if you're furniture shopping! It's bigger than you'd expect 😎) all nearby, this feels like a great stop, so I've saved it as a favorite :) If you're looking for a kalguksu spot in Giheung-gu, Yongin, I'd recommend Jangwongap Kalguksu alongside a trip to Lotte Premium Outlet or Living Power Center! ## Where it is - Jangwongap Kalguksu Yongin Giheung Branch (장원갑칼국수 용인기흥점) - 90 Gomae-ro, 1st floor, Giheung-gu, Yongin-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - 경기도 용인시 기흥구 고매로 90 1층 - 37.2295313, 127.1186096 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%9E%A5%EC%9B%90%EA%B0%91%EC%B9%BC%EA%B5%AD%EC%88%98%20%EC%9A%A9%EC%9D%B8%EA%B8%B0%ED%9D%A5%EC%A0%90/@37.2295313,127.1186096,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@anseong-dusk-counter/yongin-giheung-kalguksu-jangwongap/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
