Visiting on a weekday late evening with family, the writer had dongchimi makguksu (chilled radish-broth buckwheat noodles), sesame-oil bibim makguksu, and a half-plate of crispy mandu, finding the noodles springy rather than easily snapping. The crispy-outside, juicy-inside mandu turned out to be the most satisfying part of this Sinsa Station Korean restaurant. ## Good to know - **Perilla oil makguksu**: ₩12,000 - **Sesame oil bibim makguksu**: ₩12,000 - **Dongchimi makguksu**: ₩12,000 - **Crispy fried mandu (half plate)**: ₩4,000 - **Location**: 48-39 Gangnam-daero 95-gil, 1F, Seocho-gu, Seoul, South Korea — 5-min walk between Sinsa Station Exit 4 and Jamwon Station Exit 1 - **Basic side dishes**: Pickled radish, soy sauce for mandu *as written by the visitor on Sep 8, 2026* Sammiri Makguksu (삼미리막국수) is a new spot in Jamwon-dong near Sinsa Station — here's my write-up from a weekday late-evening visit~ I went for dinner after work with my family, and from the noodles to the mandu (dumplings), everything felt clean and light, good enough even for a solo lunch or a casual Korean meal. Since the buckwheat noodles are made in-house, the texture was noticeably different from typical makguksu, and honestly, the fried mandu was seriously delicious. ![Sammiri Makguksu signature dish near Sinsa Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinsa-station-buckwheat-noodles-family-dinner/sinsa-station-buckwheat-noodles-family-dinner-01-qdm5r-1200.webp) *Sinsa Station lunch spot* The restaurant is a quick 5-minute walk between Sinsa Station Exit 4 and Jamwon Station Exit 1 — an easy Korean restaurant to find. ## Location of this Sinsa Station lunch spot ![Sammiri Makguksu exterior on the ground floor of a building](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinsa-station-buckwheat-noodles-family-dinner/sinsa-station-buckwheat-noodles-family-dinner-02-1slqh-966.webp) *Restaurant exterior* Sammiri Makguksu is a clean, newly opened buckwheat noodle specialist in Jamwon-dong.

They had just the right springiness, which made slurping them a lot more satisfying! ## Savory sesame-oil bibim noodles ![A bowl of sesame-oil bibim makguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinsa-station-buckwheat-noodles-family-dinner/sinsa-station-buckwheat-noodles-family-dinner-14-1sa1k-966.webp) *₩12,000* The sauce leans sweet-and-spicy rather than fiery, with sesame oil adding a nutty richness — an easygoing style that works for almost anyone. ![Bibim makguksu topped with sweet-and-spicy sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinsa-station-buckwheat-noodles-family-dinner/sinsa-station-buckwheat-noodles-family-dinner-15-xop66-966.webp) ![Buckwheat noodles mixed with sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinsa-station-buckwheat-noodles-family-dinner/sinsa-station-buckwheat-noodles-family-dinner-16-asyf2-966.webp) The noodles mixed well with the sauce without going mushy or breaking apart, which made the texture especially good when eaten as bibim (mixed noodles). ![A chopstick-full of bibim makguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinsa-station-buckwheat-noodles-family-dinner/sinsa-station-buckwheat-noodles-family-dinner-17-1tuir-966.webp) ![Sharing two bowls of dongchimi and bibim makguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinsa-station-buckwheat-noodles-family-dinner/sinsa-station-buckwheat-noodles-family-dinner-18-vc6d4-966.webp) If the dongchimi noodles are cool and light, the bibim version is richer and bolder — so I'd recommend ordering one of each to share! ## Recommended side: crispy fried mandu ![A half-plate of crispy fried mandu](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinsa-station-buckwheat-noodles-family-dinner/sinsa-station-buckwheat-noodles-family-dinner-19-105u0-966.webp) *Crispy fried mandu half-plate ₩4,000* And surprisingly, the tastiest thing of all was the ₩4,000 half-plate of crispy fried mandu..! Fried fresh after ordering, the outside is truly crispy while the inside stays juicy and moist. ![Cross-section of a mandu with a crispy exterior](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinsa-station-buckwheat-noodles-family-dinner/sinsa-station-buckwheat-noodles-family-dinner-20-ul1fl-966.webp) ![Mandu dipped in soy sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinsa-station-buckwheat-noodles-family-dinner/sinsa-station-buckwheat-noodles-family-dinner-21-1208y-966.webp) Honestly, I was satisfied enough to call this place a mandu spot..!! Since you can order a half-plate, it's great to pair with a single bowl of makguksu when eating solo, and easy to add more plates when dining with family. If you're looking for an easy dinner with family after work, or a clean solo meal near Sinsa Station, this newly opened Korean restaurant is worth recommending~ ## Summary - Value: noodle bowls from ₩12,000, springy house-made buckwheat noodles - Portion: one noodle dish per person plus mandu recommended — the mandu was especially crispy outside and moist inside - Atmosphere: a Jamwon-dong Korean restaurant that's comfortable even for a solo office-worker lunch ## Where it is - Sammiri Makguksu (삼미리막국수) - 48-39 Gangnam-daero 95-gil, 1F, Seocho-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 서초구 강남대로95길 48-39 1층 - 37.5135184, 127.0165659 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%82%BC%EB%AF%B8%EB%A6%AC%EB%A7%89%EA%B5%AD%EC%88%98/@37.5135184,127.0165659,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@apron-hook/sinsa-station-buckwheat-noodles-family-dinner/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
