Wondang, Goyang sundae soup restaurant with a bossam set: Gohyangok

Why a hot bowl of soup near Seooreung and the Wondang golf courses?

With the weather getting chillier lately, I kept craving something warm and hearty. Looking for a satisfying soup dish, I visited Gohyangok Eolkeun Sundaeguk Wondang Branch, known as a Seooreung food spot. It's close to Seongsa-dong and Wonheung-dong, as well as Starfield Goyang, IKEA, and Seooreung. There are also golf courses like Hanyang CC, Hanyang Pine CC, and Goyang CC nearby, so it seemed like a good option to stop by before or after a round.

Gohyangok Eolkeun Sundaeguk Wondang Branch: location, hours and parking

First, let me show you one of the dishes I ordered. The restaurant is open every day, and it opens especially early on weekends, so it looks good for breakfast or a meal before or after a round of golf. I also checked the Chuseok holiday hours — it's closed on Friday, September 25.

The restaurant is fairly large, so it was easy to find. It's about 100m on foot from the Heungdo-dong Community Center bus stop.

Parking is available in the space in front of the restaurant, which made it convenient to visit by car.

Seating for solo diners, couples and families

There's a range of seating, from solo seats to 2-seat and 4-seat tables. It looked comfortable whether visiting alone or with family and friends.

Disposable aprons and spoon rests were also available.

Menu and prices: sundae soup and the sundae bossam set

There's eolkeun sundaeguk (spicy sundae soup) and various other sundae soups, plus suyuk gukbap, eolkeun suyuk gukbap, hwangtae haejangguk (dried pollack hangover soup), and siraegi sundaeguk. There are also side dishes like pyeonyuk (sliced boiled pork), bossam, and modeum sundae to go along with them.

• Sundaeguk 2 (per person): ₩11,000
• Sunsundaeguk (Sundae & Bossam Set): ₩16,000

I thought about just getting sundae soup, but ended up ordering sunsundaeguk instead so I could have sundae and bossam together.

Apparently, if you write a Google review, you get 4 galbi mandu (rib dumplings) as a bonus.

The side dishes came with onions, peppers, yeolmu kimchi (young radish kimchi), somyeon (thin wheat noodles), and kimchi — a good combination to go with the sundae soup.

What's at the self-serve corner?

Any extra side dishes could be freely taken from the self-serve corner.

Each table had shrimp salt, dadegi (spicy chili paste), and perilla seed powder, so I could season the broth to my taste.

How the sundae soup broth tastes: rich yet clean

My order arrived. It came out piping hot in a stone bowl, packed generously with ingredients — it looked really appetizing. The broth was rich yet clean, and delicious.

Adding dadegi gave it a spicy kick. I also tried adding the somyeon that came with it into the broth, and it went really well together.

The sundae was tasty, and the meat inside was moist and tender too. It also went well with the mumallaengi (dried radish pickle).

Sunsundaeguk: hinoki-steamed bossam with sundae

Sunsundaeguk comes with sundae soup, plus hinoki-steamed bossam and sundae on the side.

The bossam had no unpleasant gamey smell, and overall it was moist and tender. Having bossam along with the sundae soup made for an even more filling meal.

They also sell ice cream, which seemed like a nice option for dessert.

I also filmed the dishes and side dishes I ordered at Gohyangok Eolkeun Sundaeguk Wondang Branch.

The restaurant is spacious, and with parking well set up, it was convenient to visit by car. There's a range of soup dishes like sundae soup and suyuk gukbap, and options that let you enjoy sundae and bossam together, so there's something to fit different tastes. On weekends it opens from 5:30 AM, so I felt it's a great place to visit before or after a round of golf, or whenever you want a hearty meal.
