On the way to a camping trip in Yeongheungdo, the writer stopped in for a hearty brunch of mushroom kalguksu for two and pork cutlet, boiled tableside on the built-in burners, then finished off the leftover broth with snow cheese fried rice. A filling, clean meal for mornings when a whole pot of seafood stew feels like too much. ## Good to know - **Mushroom kalguksu**: ₩9,000 (for two) - **Handmade pork cutlet**: ₩13,000 - **Signature dishes**: Seafood rib jjimm, seafood jjim, abalone seafood hot pot, boneless monkfish jjim, spicy pork rib jjim - **Single/double meal menu**: Mushroom kalguksu, cold kalguksu, handmade pork cutlet - **Lunch**: Weekday lunch special discount menu available - **Tables**: Two built-in burners per table - **Parking**: Ample parking space - **Current promotion**: Free squid seaweed soup on your birthday; 3 fried squid pieces with a Naver receipt review *as written by the visitor on Sep 8, 2026* ![Main image of mushroom kalguksu at Haemokjeong Daebudo Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/daebudo-mushroom-kalguksu-cheese-fried-rice/daebudo-mushroom-kalguksu-cheese-fried-rice-01-110f1-1200.webp) ## Brunch in Daebudo on the way to camping The day we headed to Yeongheungdo to camp. Traffic on this route is hopeless if you leave late, so we set off early — and my stomach was already growling 😩 Pitching a tent takes energy too, so we made sure to grab brunch in Daebudo on the way to the campsite. After looking around, we landed on Haemokjeong Daebudo Branch, a Daebudo restaurant known for its seafood jjim (braised seafood stew). ![Exterior of Haemokjeong Daebudo Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/daebudo-mushroom-kalguksu-cheese-fried-rice/daebudo-mushroom-kalguksu-cheese-fried-rice-02-3gbsa-900.webp) ## Location, parking, and the mood inside Haemokjeong Daebudo Branch was easy to find by car, and there's a Hanaro Mart nearby too, so it's a handy spot to grab groceries while you're traveling. > Haemokjeong Daebudo Branch Parking space was plentiful too, which was great since most people get around Daebudo by car. It seems like the place hasn't been open long — everything from the exterior to the interior felt clean and put-together. It looked like a solid spot for a family meal or a group outing. ![Interior of Haemokjeong Daebudo Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/daebudo-mushroom-kalguksu-cheese-fried-rice/daebudo-mushroom-kalguksu-cheese-fried-rice-03-1hbdq-900.webp) ![View of the clean dining hall seating](https://img.superchart.com/images/daebudo-mushroom-kalguksu-cheese-fried-rice/daebudo-mushroom-kalguksu-cheese-fried-rice-04-1hg0t-900.webp) ![Tables and seating arrangement](https://img.superchart.com/images/daebudo-mushroom-kalguksu-cheese-fried-rice/daebudo-mushroom-kalguksu-cheese-fried-rice-05-lzjxb-900.webp) ![Another angle of the interior](https://img.superchart.com/images/daebudo-mushroom-kalguksu-cheese-fried-rice/daebudo-mushroom-kalguksu-cheese-fried-rice-06-enwl4-900.webp) ![Table with the built-in burner](https://img.superchart.com/images/daebudo-mushroom-kalguksu-cheese-fried-rice/daebudo-mushroom-kalguksu-cheese-fried-rice-07-evie7-900.webp) ![Interior decor of the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/daebudo-mushroom-kalguksu-cheese-fried-rice/daebudo-mushroom-kalguksu-cheese-fried-rice-08-1aa1f-900.webp) ![Seating area of Haemokjeong Daebudo Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/daebudo-mushroom-kalguksu-cheese-fried-rice/daebudo-mushroom-kalguksu-cheese-fried-rice-09-e62lm-900.webp) ![Menu board at Haemokjeong Daebudo Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/daebudo-mushroom-kalguksu-cheese-fried-rice/daebudo-mushroom-kalguksu-cheese-fried-rice-10-1my8k-900.webp) ## What's on the menu True to its reputation as a Daebudo seafood jjim spot, the signature menu has dishes made for sharing — seafood rib jjim, seafood jjim, abalone seafood hot pot, boneless monkfish jjim, spicy pork rib jjim, and more! There's also a good lineup of single or two-person meals like mushroom kalguksu, cold kalguksu, and handmade pork cutlet — plus a lunch special discount on weekdays. Pretty thoughtful, Haemokjeong ☺️ I did consider the seafood jjim since it seems to be the signature dish, but a whole pot of it felt like a lot for the morning ✔️ So we settled on mushroom kalguksu for two plus handmade pork cutlet. ![Ordered dishes and table setting](https://img.superchart.com/images/daebudo-mushroom-kalguksu-cheese-fried-rice/daebudo-mushroom-kalguksu-cheese-fried-rice-11-1vyrr-900.webp) ![Sign for the birthday seaweed soup and receipt review promotions](https://img.superchart.com/images/daebudo-mushroom-kalguksu-cheese-fried-rice/daebudo-mushroom-kalguksu-cheese-fried-rice-12-19m8g-900.webp) Here's the current promotion — 🎂 if you visit on your birthday, you get free squid seaweed soup 🍀 write a Naver receipt review and get 3 pieces of fried squid on the house. ## Mushroom kalguksu, ₩9,000 x 2 > Mushroom kalguksu, ₩9,000 x 2 First up was the mushroom kalguksu 🍄 It arrived in a big pot topped with oyster mushrooms and minari (water dropwort), looking seriously appetizing. The basic side dishes came out neatly arranged too — braised potatoes, chive salad, white kimchi, pickled peppers, and kimchi. It doesn't come fully cooked in a bowl — each table has two built-in burners, so you get to simmer it yourself, which I loved 🔥 The longer it simmered, the more the mushroom's distinct flavor and the minari's fragrance came through. One spoonful of that hot broth and my stomach felt instantly settled~😋 ![Pot of mushroom kalguksu topped with oyster mushrooms and minari](https://img.superchart.com/images/daebudo-mushroom-kalguksu-cheese-fried-rice/daebudo-mushroom-kalguksu-cheese-fried-rice-13-1u1jo-900.webp) ![Mushroom kalguksu set with the basic side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/daebudo-mushroom-kalguksu-cheese-fried-rice/daebudo-mushroom-kalguksu-cheese-fried-rice-14-3chcv-900.webp) ### How spicy is it? Haemokjeong's mushroom kalguksu comes in a red broth style 🌶️ Nicely spicy and tangy enough to wake up your appetite! But it's not extreme — even our household's official spice wimp of a kid could handle it just fine ☺️ ![Mushroom kalguksu simmering in red broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/daebudo-mushroom-kalguksu-cheese-fried-rice/daebudo-mushroom-kalguksu-cheese-fried-rice-15-14003-900.webp) ![Noodles lifted with a ladle](https://img.superchart.com/images/daebudo-mushroom-kalguksu-cheese-fried-rice/daebudo-mushroom-kalguksu-cheese-fried-rice-16-10nf7-900.webp) ![A bowl of kalguksu topped with minari and mushrooms](https://img.superchart.com/images/daebudo-mushroom-kalguksu-cheese-fried-rice/daebudo-mushroom-kalguksu-cheese-fried-rice-17-1wffj-900.webp) The noodles were chewy and smooth with no starchy heaviness, so they disappeared fast. Wrapping them around the well-cooked minari and oyster mushrooms made it even better! ## Handmade pork cutlet, ₩13,000 > Handmade pork cutlet, ₩13,000 ![Handmade pork cutlet plated with rice and angel hair salad](https://img.superchart.com/images/daebudo-mushroom-kalguksu-cheese-fried-rice/daebudo-mushroom-kalguksu-cheese-fried-rice-18-6b4kj-900.webp) Haemokjeong's handmade pork cutlet comes with crispy cutlet, rice, and angel hair salad. For families with kids, there's nothing more reliable than a cutlet~ ![Handmade pork cutlet with sauce served on the side](https://img.superchart.com/images/daebudo-mushroom-kalguksu-cheese-fried-rice/daebudo-mushroom-kalguksu-cheese-fried-rice-19-oed98-900.webp) ![Pork cutlet cut into bite-sized pieces](https://img.superchart.com/images/daebudo-mushroom-kalguksu-cheese-fried-rice/daebudo-mushroom-kalguksu-cheese-fried-rice-20-1azrd-900.webp) ![Cross-section of the pork cutlet with angel hair salad](https://img.superchart.com/images/daebudo-mushroom-kalguksu-cheese-fried-rice/daebudo-mushroom-kalguksu-cheese-fried-rice-21-315c3-900.webp) ![A piece of pork cutlet dipped in sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/daebudo-mushroom-kalguksu-cheese-fried-rice/daebudo-mushroom-kalguksu-cheese-fried-rice-22-wm3lc-900.webp) True to its name, the pork cutlet came out extra-large, and since I'm a dip-not-drench person, I appreciated that the sauce came on the side. Cutting it into bite-sized pieces and dipping into the sauce gave that familiar, satisfying taste 😋 Alternating with the slightly spicy mushroom kalguksu made for a great combo! ## Finishing with snow cheese fried rice > Finishing with snow cheese fried rice Once we finished the kalguksu, the owner offered to make fried rice and told us to just let him know when we were ready! The fried rice is a self-serve, DIY situation. With a small amount of leftover broth, you stir in the fried rice ingredients he sets out, and then pile on a generous heap of snow cheese at the end — pure bliss 😀 ![Snow cheese fried rice made with the leftover broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/daebudo-mushroom-kalguksu-cheese-fried-rice/daebudo-mushroom-kalguksu-cheese-fried-rice-23-ri3lh-900.webp) ![Close-up of fried rice piled high with snow cheese](https://img.superchart.com/images/daebudo-mushroom-kalguksu-cheese-fried-rice/daebudo-mushroom-kalguksu-cheese-fried-rice-24-10220-900.webp) The savory depth of the broth combined with the nutty richness of the snow cheese made for an unbeatable combo. And honestly, isn't the truest way to end a carb feast — with more carbs?? We scraped the bottom clean and ate every last bit before heading out ✌️ From seafood jjim and rib jjim to easygoing single-serving meals, there's a lot on offer here — if you're looking for a hearty, clean meal in Daebudo, give Haemokjeong Daebudo Branch a try! ## Where it is - Haemokjeong Daebudo Branch (해목정 대부도점) - 97 Sangdong-ro, Danwon-gu, Ansan-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - 경기도 안산시 단원구 상동로 97 1층 - 37.2410507, 126.5855562 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%95%B4%EB%AA%A9%EC%A0%95%20%EB%8C%80%EB%B6%80%EB%8F%84%EC%A0%90/@37.2410507,126.5855562,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@bupyeong-bench-meals/daebudo-mushroom-kalguksu-cheese-fried-rice/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
