I had samgyetang kalguksu with half a chicken, sticky rice, and ginseng sprouts for dinner with a friend. A satisfying choice for a warming meal on a chilly day. ## Good to know - **Ordered**: Samgyetang kalguksu - **Parking**: Restaurant-only parking directly in front of the building - **Seating**: Two-person tables and group seating *as written by the visitor on Sep 11, 2026* It had been a while since my friend and I decided to have dinner in Garak-dong. The weather had suddenly turned chilly, and I was craving something warm and brothy, so we finally visited Hanyang Dak Kalguksu Main Branch (한양닭칼국수 본점), a place I had been curious about for some time. ![Photo from a visit to Hanyang Dak Kalguksu Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/garak-samgye-kalguksu-hanyang-dak/garak-samgye-kalguksu-hanyang-dak-01-iqh3p-900.webp) ![Photo from a visit to Hanyang Dak Kalguksu Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/garak-samgye-kalguksu-hanyang-dak/garak-samgye-kalguksu-hanyang-dak-02-dobmq-1200.webp) I heard it is a place many people visit when looking for a filling meal near Garak Market, so I went in with high expectations~ ## A comfortable dining space in Garak-dong Hanyang Dak Kalguksu Main Branch is close to Garak Market and the National Police Hospital, so it was fairly easy to get to. There is restaurant-only parking right in front of the building, which made parking really convenient, and once inside, the overall atmosphere felt clean and comfortable. ![Restaurant-only parking at Hanyang Dak Kalguksu Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/garak-samgye-kalguksu-hanyang-dak/garak-samgye-kalguksu-hanyang-dak-03-1bri4-871.webp) ![Dining atmosphere at Hanyang Dak Kalguksu Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/garak-samgye-kalguksu-hanyang-dak/garak-samgye-kalguksu-hanyang-dak-04-1jpgw-900.webp) There was a good variety of table setups inside, from two-person tables that are nice for eating alone to group tables for several people. It was great for a casual dinner with a friend, and I thought it could also work well for family meals or company get-togethers~ ![Varied table seating at Hanyang Dak Kalguksu Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/garak-samgye-kalguksu-hanyang-dak/garak-samgye-kalguksu-hanyang-dak-05-1i31c-900.webp) ## Samgyetang kalguksu in rich chicken broth ![Samgyetang kalguksu menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/garak-samgye-kalguksu-hanyang-dak/garak-samgye-kalguksu-hanyang-dak-06-19prx-900.webp) ![Samgyetang kalguksu with rich chicken broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/garak-samgye-kalguksu-hanyang-dak/garak-samgye-kalguksu-hanyang-dak-07-1mzld-900.webp) The menu I ordered that day was samgyetang kalguksu, chicken noodle soup inspired by samgyetang. It comes with tender samgyetang chicken, sticky rice, and fragrant ginseng sprouts in a rich broth slowly simmered with chicken and medicinal herbs. ![Samgyetang chicken with sticky rice and ginseng sprouts](https://img.superchart.com/images/garak-samgye-kalguksu-hanyang-dak/garak-samgye-kalguksu-hanyang-dak-08-9iln2-900.webp) ![Components of samgyetang kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/garak-samgye-kalguksu-hanyang-dak/garak-samgye-kalguksu-hanyang-dak-09-phawc-900.webp) After a short wait, the samgyetang kalguksu arrived topped with big pieces of chicken. It looked more abundant than ordinary chicken kalguksu, and although it contains half a chicken, the pieces were quite large, so it felt generously portioned from the start. I tried the broth first, and it was clearly rich and deep. It had the flavor of chicken and herbs simmered for a long time, but the herbal aroma was not overpowering, making it easy to enjoy. ## Tender chicken and sticky rice ![Tender samgyetang chicken](https://img.superchart.com/images/garak-samgye-kalguksu-hanyang-dak/garak-samgye-kalguksu-hanyang-dak-10-pk500-900.webp) ![Samgyetang kalguksu with sticky rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/garak-samgye-kalguksu-hanyang-dak/garak-samgye-kalguksu-hanyang-dak-11-112ly-900.webp) The chicken was definitely what I remembered most about the samgyetang kalguksu. Because it had been cooked thoroughly, the meat was soft and tender enough to pull easily from the bones with chopsticks. I expected half a chicken to be a small portion, but it was far more filling than I thought. The chicken alone was satisfying, and the sticky rice tucked inside made it a complete meal. ![Chicken and sticky rice in samgyetang kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/garak-samgye-kalguksu-hanyang-dak/garak-samgye-kalguksu-hanyang-dak-12-12mmm-900.webp) ![A filling bowl of samgyetang kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/garak-samgye-kalguksu-hanyang-dak/garak-samgye-kalguksu-hanyang-dak-13-1scn7-900.webp) With ginseng sprouts on the side as well, it felt more like a nourishing meal than an ordinary bowl of kalguksu. The warm broth, tender chicken, and sticky rice went together beautifully, and I think it would be even more satisfying on a cold day~ ## Samgyetang kalguksu with kimchi ![Samgyetang kalguksu and kimchi together](https://img.superchart.com/images/garak-samgye-kalguksu-hanyang-dak/garak-samgye-kalguksu-hanyang-dak-14-nyiaj-900.webp) ![Kimchi eaten with chicken](https://img.superchart.com/images/garak-samgye-kalguksu-hanyang-dak/garak-samgye-kalguksu-hanyang-dak-15-1w643-900.webp) When I visit a kalguksu restaurant, I always pay attention to the kimchi too. The kimchi was a really good match for the samgyetang kalguksu. After a bite of mild, tender chicken, the kimchi refreshed my palate and naturally made me reach for more. It also went well with the rich broth, and personally, I found chicken and kimchi together to be the tastiest combination. Even while chatting leisurely with my friend, there was plenty to eat and I felt full through the very end. ## A filling dinner near Garak Market ![Meal at Hanyang Dak Kalguksu Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/garak-samgye-kalguksu-hanyang-dak/garak-samgye-kalguksu-hanyang-dak-16-1vzka-900.webp) ![Samgyetang kalguksu near Garak Market](https://img.superchart.com/images/garak-samgye-kalguksu-hanyang-dak/garak-samgye-kalguksu-hanyang-dak-17-18eae-900.webp) Hanyang Dak Kalguksu Main Branch, which I visited while looking for a good restaurant near Garak Market, was a satisfying spot for a warm, filling meal. The samgyetang kalguksu I ordered came with a remarkably large half chicken, plus rich chicken broth, sticky rice, and ginseng sprouts, so it truly felt like a nourishing meal. The interior also suited a range of occasions, from solo meals and family dinners to group gatherings. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a hearty dinner near Garak Market or something a little more special than standard kalguksu. Next time, I would like to order herbal boiled pork or spicy chicken stew with my friend too~ ## Where it is - Hanyang Dak Kalguksu Main Branch (한양닭칼국수 본점) - 4 Songi-ro 23-gil, Songpa-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 송파구 송이로23길 4 1층 - 37.494863, 127.1240839 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%95%9C%EC%96%91%EB%8B%AD%EC%B9%BC%EA%B5%AD%EC%88%98%20%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@37.494863,127.1240839,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@at-the-mirror/garak-samgye-kalguksu-hanyang-dak/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
