On a weekend lunch visit, two bowls of chicken kalguksu at 10,000 won each and one order of chewy mandu (dumplings) at 5,500 won arrived with half a chicken sitting whole in the bowl, so there was plenty of meat and a very generous portion. The perilla seed is restrained and the broth stays clean, which makes Eonyang Dak Kalguksu an easy Tongdosa-area choice for a meal with kids and parents. ## Good to know - **Location**: 6 Tongdosa-ro, Habuk-myeon, Yangsan, Gyeongnam — 5 minutes by car from Tongdosa Temple - **What we ordered**: Chicken kalguksu 10,000 won x2, chewy mandu (dumplings) 5,500 won x1 - **Other menu items**: Dak gomtang (clear chicken soup), Eonyang-style kalguksu, jjimdak (braised chicken) - **Side dishes**: Kimchi served with the meal; self-serve corner with spicy kimchi, mild kimchi and pickled radish - **Parking**: Large parking lot behind the restaurant - **Price reference**: ₩10,000 ≈ $7.4 · ₩5,500 ≈ $4.1 (2026-09-15) *as written by the visitor on Sep 5, 2026* ![Signature photo of chicken kalguksu at Eonyang Dak Kalguksu Tongdosa Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/eonyang-chicken-kalguksu-tongdosa-half-chicken/eonyang-chicken-kalguksu-tongdosa-half-chicken-01-nyb1a-1200.webp) Last weekend I was hunting for good restaurants near Tongdosa Temple in Yangsan and ended up at Eonyang Dak Kalguksu Tongdosa Branch! They said their chicken kalguksu comes with "a whole half chicken" in it, which got me really excited. Here's my honest review after visiting in person! ## Where is Eonyang Dak Kalguksu Tongdosa Branch, and is there parking? Eonyang Dak Kalguksu Tongdosa Branch is at 6 Tongdosa-ro, Habuk-myeon, Yangsan-si, Gyeongnam, just 5 minutes by car from Tongdosa Temple. It's a great stop before or after exploring the temple. ![Exterior of Eonyang Dak Kalguksu Tongdosa Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/eonyang-chicken-kalguksu-tongdosa-half-chicken/eonyang-chicken-kalguksu-tongdosa-half-chicken-02-50hy4-966.webp) ![Large parking lot behind the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/eonyang-chicken-kalguksu-tongdosa-half-chicken/eonyang-chicken-kalguksu-tongdosa-half-chicken-03-gj2xa-966.webp) There's a large parking lot right behind the restaurant, so you can eat comfortably without worrying about parking. ![Spacious seating inside the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/eonyang-chicken-kalguksu-tongdosa-half-chicken/eonyang-chicken-kalguksu-tongdosa-half-chicken-04-11gtf-966.webp) The interior is pretty large and spacious, so it'd be comfortable for a group to eat here too. We arrived a bit before the usual lunch rush, and there were already quite a few customers! ## Eonyang Dak Kalguksu menu and prices The signature chicken kalguksu is ₩10,000, and the chewy mandu (dumplings) are ₩5,500. There's also dak gomtang (chicken soup), Eonyang-style kalguksu, and jjimdak (braised chicken). We ordered two chicken kalguksu and one order of chewy mandu :) ![Menu board listing chicken kalguksu and jjimdak](https://img.superchart.com/images/eonyang-chicken-kalguksu-tongdosa-half-chicken/eonyang-chicken-kalguksu-tongdosa-half-chicken-05-1btl7-966.webp) ## Self-serve kimchi: spicy and mild, free to refill Eonyang Dak Kalguksu Tongdosa Branch serves kimchi as a basic side dish, but this kimchi is REALLY spicy!! (Spice-wimps beware) Luckily there's milder kimchi at the self-serve corner. ![Spicy kimchi served as a basic side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/eonyang-chicken-kalguksu-tongdosa-half-chicken/eonyang-chicken-kalguksu-tongdosa-half-chicken-06-17h9y-966.webp) ![Self-serve corner with kimchi and pickled radish](https://img.superchart.com/images/eonyang-chicken-kalguksu-tongdosa-half-chicken/eonyang-chicken-kalguksu-tongdosa-half-chicken-07-ji0b2-966.webp) At the self-serve corner, kimchi is divided into spicy and mild versions. There's also pickled radish available. You know a chicken kalguksu place needs good kimchi, right?! They said the kimchi is made fresh every day, which got me even more excited :) ![Comparison of mild kimchi and spicy kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/eonyang-chicken-kalguksu-tongdosa-half-chicken/eonyang-chicken-kalguksu-tongdosa-half-chicken-08-1me6p-966.webp) *(top) mild kimchi (bottom) spicy kimchi* The spicy kimchi has a bit more umami and is really tasty, but as a spice-wimp myself it was tough to handle...haha. Still, the mild kimchi was really good too. I refilled it twice. Kimchi spot confirmed!! ## Chewy mandu and chicken kalguksu with half a chicken: honest review The chewy mandu came out first. Lined up neatly~ ![Chewy mandu neatly arranged on a plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/eonyang-chicken-kalguksu-tongdosa-half-chicken/eonyang-chicken-kalguksu-tongdosa-half-chicken-09-gfkui-966.webp) ![Close-up of chewy mandu](https://img.superchart.com/images/eonyang-chicken-kalguksu-tongdosa-half-chicken/eonyang-chicken-kalguksu-tongdosa-half-chicken-10-gby9u-966.webp) ![Cross-section of a chewy mandu packed with filling](https://img.superchart.com/images/eonyang-chicken-kalguksu-tongdosa-half-chicken/eonyang-chicken-kalguksu-tongdosa-half-chicken-11-1nhhx-966.webp) True to their name, the mandu wrapper was super chewy and tender, and the filling was packed full — a great pairing with the kalguksu. ![A bowl of chicken kalguksu with milky white broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/eonyang-chicken-kalguksu-tongdosa-half-chicken/eonyang-chicken-kalguksu-tongdosa-half-chicken-12-1xqmb-966.webp) Finally, the star of the show, chicken kalguksu, arrived :) A milky white broth with a huge piece of chicken in it! ![Chicken kalguksu with a whole half chicken in the bowl](https://img.superchart.com/images/eonyang-chicken-kalguksu-tongdosa-half-chicken/eonyang-chicken-kalguksu-tongdosa-half-chicken-13-rjrhw-966.webp) The chicken kalguksu I've had before always came with chicken torn into bite-sized pieces, so it was surprising to see a whole half chicken sitting in the bowl. Because of that, the portion felt enormous. So much meat, so much to eat! ![Chewy kalguksu noodles lifted up with chopsticks](https://img.superchart.com/images/eonyang-chicken-kalguksu-tongdosa-half-chicken/eonyang-chicken-kalguksu-tongdosa-half-chicken-14-1kfdd-966.webp) And the kalguksu noodles are really, really chewy. Eat them with a piece of kimchi on top and it's absolutely delicious!! ![Chicken kalguksu broth topped with perilla seed powder](https://img.superchart.com/images/eonyang-chicken-kalguksu-tongdosa-half-chicken/eonyang-chicken-kalguksu-tongdosa-half-chicken-15-1g6gj-966.webp) Personally I'm not a fan of when there's way too much perilla seed powder, but here the nuttiness was just right, and the chicken broth wasn't too heavy — a very clean broth. It's already seasoned, but not salty at all, just the right amount of savory deliciousness! ## Why Eonyang Dak Kalguksu suits a Tongdosa Temple day trip If you're planning a trip to Tongdosa this weekend, how about chicken kalguksu as your Tongdosa restaurant pick?
