Hwajeong-dong yukgaejang and ox head gukbap late dinner: Pyeongando

Pyeongando Restaurant Hwajeong Branch is a 24-hour gukbap (rice and soup) restaurant in Hwajeong-dong, Goyang, directly across from the Deogyang-gu Office. Late one evening a couple ordered the Korean beef ox head gukbap set and the traditional yukgaejang (spicy beef and vegetable soup) and traded bowls: the ox head gukbap was a solid, straightforward version, while the yukgaejang was fiery and deeply savoury enough to bring them back. Sundae (blood sausage) and organ meat refills at Pyeongando run only 11:30–14:00 and 17:30–20:00, so check the times before going.

Goyang kalguksu with ongsimi: Bongpyeong Gohyang Makguksu

Bongpyeong Gohyang Makguksu is a 30-year-old restaurant on Naktagogae hill in Deokyang-gu, Goyang, Gyeonggi, making its own makguksu (chilled buckwheat noodles) and kalguksu (knife-cut noodles) in house. The writer and his wife ordered perilla-buckwheat kalguksu, bibim makguksu and a buckwheat pancake, and every order arrives with a starter of barley rice, house-made kimchi, perilla oil and gochujang. For noodles that are mild and easy on the stomach, Bongpyeong Gohyang Makguksu is a good fit.
