One serving of the pufferfish seafood kalguksu is 11,000 won, the octopus stir-fry is 17,000 won and the king meat mandu (dumplings) is 7,000 won, and because both the kalguksu and the octopus can be ordered as a single portion, a family of three with a baby ate comfortably.

It's a chain, so I decided to visit the direct-run branch! ![Entrance of Yubok Haemul Kalguksu Dongtan Direct Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-yubok-clam-knife-noodle-solo-portion/dongtan-yubok-clam-knife-noodle-solo-portion-02-b24dt-900.webp) ![Storefront of Yubok near Dongtan Central Park](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-yubok-clam-knife-noodle-solo-portion/dongtan-yubok-clam-knife-noodle-solo-portion-03-1gjaa-900.webp) ## Parking and waiting time at Yubok Haemul Kalguksu There's a wait during busy hours, so it seems to already be a local favorite among Dongtan residents. You can park in front of the restaurant, or use the Central Park public parking lot 3 minutes away for 1.5 hours free — and if you show proof of parking, they give you a canned drink. ### Inside the Dongtan branch ![Interior seating at Yubok Haemul Kalguksu Dongtan Direct Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-yubok-clam-knife-noodle-solo-portion/dongtan-yubok-clam-knife-noodle-solo-portion-04-46gtd-900.webp) ![Dining hall on a weekend around lunchtime](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-yubok-clam-knife-noodle-solo-portion/dongtan-yubok-clam-knife-noodle-solo-portion-05-13l59-900.webp) The inside is nice and clean too. When I visited around 11:30 on a weekend, a little less than half the seats were still open, but by nearly noon it was completely full. If you want to avoid the wait, I'd recommend going a bit earlier. ![Table set with a gas burner and basic seasonings](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-yubok-clam-knife-noodle-solo-portion/dongtan-yubok-clam-knife-noodle-solo-portion-06-196fg-900.webp) Since the kalguksu is cooked fresh at the table, each table has its own gas burner and basic seasonings. ## Can you order kalguksu as a single serving? ![Menu board at Yubok Haemul Kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-yubok-clam-knife-noodle-solo-portion/dongtan-yubok-clam-knife-noodle-solo-portion-07-buh2i-900.webp) Yubok Haemul Kalguksu Dongtan Direct Branch's menu has kalguksu, webfoot octopus, savory pancakes, egg-wrapped octopus hot plate, mandu and more. What I really liked was that most kalguksu places require you to order for two or more people, but here you can order kalguksu and octopus each as a single serving. So I ordered one serving of pufferfish seafood kalguksu, one serving of grilled webfoot octopus stir-fry, and the king meat mandu. ![Sign explaining the pufferfish broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-yubok-clam-knife-noodle-solo-portion/dongtan-yubok-clam-knife-noodle-solo-portion-08-xnz8g-900.webp) ![Guide showing how to enjoy the kalguksu and octopus best](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-yubok-clam-knife-noodle-solo-portion/dongtan-yubok-clam-knife-noodle-solo-portion-09-1vtxd-900.webp) The broth apparently minimizes seasoning and uses wild dried pufferfish simmered for a long time. Each table also has handy tips for how to eat the kalguksu or octopus stir-fry most deliciously! ### Side dishes and the free barley rice for the baby ![Basic side dishes of diced radish kimchi and radish](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-yubok-clam-knife-noodle-solo-portion/dongtan-yubok-clam-knife-noodle-solo-portion-10-amk0u-900.webp) ![Free barley rice served with gochujang on top](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-yubok-clam-knife-noodle-solo-portion/dongtan-yubok-clam-knife-noodle-solo-portion-11-1eteu-900.webp) The basic side dishes are diced radish kimchi and radish. Since I visited with a baby, I was going to order a separate bowl of rice — turns out the adult version comes as barley rice topped with gochujang (red chili paste), while the baby version thoughtfully comes topped with roasted powder instead. Nice touch. ## Pufferfish seafood kalguksu, 11,000 won a serving ![Table setting with a pot of pufferfish seafood kalguksu, single serving](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-yubok-clam-knife-noodle-solo-portion/dongtan-yubok-clam-knife-noodle-solo-portion-12-1y149-900.webp) ![Pufferfish seafood kalguksu loaded with sea squirt and clams](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-yubok-clam-knife-noodle-solo-portion/dongtan-yubok-clam-knife-noodle-solo-portion-13-1x8m0-900.webp) I was surprised by the amount of sea squirt and clams in a single serving. The vegetables were generous too — so much that I wondered how it could possibly be this price. ![Seafood kalguksu simmering at the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-yubok-clam-knife-noodle-solo-portion/dongtan-yubok-clam-knife-noodle-solo-portion-14-kjgbd-900.webp) ![Kalguksu noodles and broth served in a bowl](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-yubok-clam-knife-noodle-solo-portion/dongtan-yubok-clam-knife-noodle-solo-portion-15-empw4-900.webp) One bite in, the noodles were chewy, and thanks to the oysters, sea squirt, and clams loaded into the pufferfish broth, the soup was clean yet refreshing. Even the baby seemed to genuinely love it and kept asking for more — a flavor that everyone from adults to kids can enjoy. ![Kimchi served alongside the kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-yubok-clam-knife-noodle-solo-portion/dongtan-yubok-clam-knife-noodle-solo-portion-16-17ts2-900.webp) ![A bite of kalguksu topped with kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-yubok-clam-knife-noodle-solo-portion/dongtan-yubok-clam-knife-noodle-solo-portion-17-1cm91-900.webp) Midway through I tried a bite of the kimchi, and honestly the kimchi is the real kicker here. Kimchi really matters at a kalguksu restaurant, and this place's kimchi was genuinely delicious. ## King meat mandu, 7,000 won ![A plate of king meat mandu](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-yubok-clam-knife-noodle-solo-portion/dongtan-yubok-clam-knife-noodle-solo-portion-18-1311l-900.webp) ![King meat mandu filling packed with green onion](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-yubok-clam-knife-noodle-solo-portion/dongtan-yubok-clam-knife-noodle-solo-portion-19-inixi-900.webp) The king meat mandu (dumplings) were packed with green onion and well-seasoned, so they were perfect even without soy sauce. They were tasty on their own, but dipping them into the kalguksu broth to eat like a moist mandu soup was also a great combination. ## Flame-grilled webfoot octopus stir-fry, 17,000 won ![Single serving of grilled webfoot octopus stir-fry](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-yubok-clam-knife-noodle-solo-portion/dongtan-yubok-clam-knife-noodle-solo-portion-20-16x9a-900.webp) Lastly, the fiery red grilled webfoot octopus stir-fry. ![Fiery red grilled webfoot octopus stir-fry with smoky aroma](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-yubok-clam-knife-noodle-solo-portion/dongtan-yubok-clam-knife-noodle-solo-portion-21-xmp9g-900.webp) ![Kalguksu noodles mixed into the octopus sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-yubok-clam-knife-noodle-solo-portion/dongtan-yubok-clam-knife-noodle-solo-portion-22-foimb-900.webp) Since it's char-grilled octopus, it has a subtle smoky flavor along with a delicious spiciness. Just like the tip card mentioned earlier, mixing the kalguksu noodles into the octopus sauce is truly amazing — spicy but addictive. If you order both octopus and kalguksu, you have to try this combination at least once. ## Where it is - Yubok Haemul Kalguksu Dongtan Direct Branch (유복해물칼국수 동탄직영점) - 경기 화성시 동탄공원로3길 3 1층, Hwaseong, Gyeonggi, South Korea - 경기도 화성시 동탄구 동탄공원로3길 3 1층 유복해물칼국수 동탄직영점 - 37.2067149, 127.0603803 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%9C%A0%EB%B3%B5%ED%95%B4%EB%AC%BC%EC%B9%BC%EA%B5%AD%EC%88%98%20%EB%8F%99%ED%83%84%EC%A7%81%EC%98%81%EC%A0%90/@37.2067149,127.0603803,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@anseong-noon-porch/dongtan-yubok-clam-knife-noodle-solo-portion/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
