The order was chicken kalguksu with kim (seaweed) topping at 10,900 won and a tasting portion of suyuk (boiled pork) at 10,900 won, pairing a deep chicken broth with moist slices of pork, while the self-serve bar let diners choose between spicy and mild kimchi. Broth, noodles and pork all landed well, making Cheongdam Dak Kalguksu a filling one-dish meal worth recommending. ## Good to know - **Address**: 1st floor, 9 Seongnam-daero 1480beon-gil, Sujeong-gu, Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-do - **Hours**: Sun–Fri 11:00–21:00 (break 15:00–16:30) - **Closed**: Every Saturday; closed Sep 25 for Chuseok - **Chicken kalguksu (kim topping)**: 10,900 won - **Cheongdam chicken kalguksu (egg)**: 11,900 won - **Spicy chicken kalguksu (kim or scallion topping)**: 11,900 won - **Chicken gomtang (with rice)**: 11,500 won / spicy chicken gomtang 12,500 won - **Spicy chicken stew (dak maeuntang)**: 29,000 won - **Samgye kalguksu (ginseng chicken noodle soup)**: 14,900 won / spicy version 15,900 won - **Sides**: Herbal suyuk 28,000 won, tasting suyuk 10,900 won, dumplings 6,900 won - **How to order**: Tablet ordering kiosk at every table - **Self-serve bar**: Kkakdugi (radish kimchi), spicy kimchi (★★★★★), mild kimchi - **Price reference**: ₩10,900 ≈ $7.9 (2026-09-18) *as written by the visitor on Sep 17, 2026* ![First look at Cheongdam Dak Kalguksu in Bokjeong-dong, Seongnam](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongdam-chicken-kalguksu-bokjeong-pork/cheongdam-chicken-kalguksu-bokjeong-pork-01-17aga-900.webp) On my way to see girl group Miyao at the Gachon University festival today, I stopped by Bokjeong-dong to visit Cheongdam Dak Kalguksu, a chicken noodle soup spot famous around Wirye. This restaurant is built around a 100% chicken broth simmered for over 12 hours and self-milled noodles aged at low temperature for over 48 hours, so it never sits heavy in your stomach — plus kimchi made fresh in-house every day. Their chicken maeuntang (spicy chicken stew), which is more addictive than dakbokkeumtang and packed with freshwater shrimp and fresh vegetables, is also famous. ## Where is Cheongdam Dak Kalguksu, and what are its hours? - 9 Seongnam-daero 1480beon-gil, Sujeong-gu, Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea, 1st floor - Hours (Sun–Fri) 11:00–21:00 - Break time 15:00–16:30 - Closed regularly on Saturdays - Closed Sep 25 for Chuseok ![Location and hours signage for Cheongdam Dak Kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongdam-chicken-kalguksu-bokjeong-pork/cheongdam-chicken-kalguksu-bokjeong-pork-02-1wtwv-900.webp) ## Cheongdam Dak Kalguksu menu and prices Chicken kalguksu - Cheongdam chicken kalguksu (egg): ₩11,900 - Chicken kalguksu (kim topping): ₩10,900 - Chicken kalguksu (scallion topping): ₩10,900 - Spicy Cheongdam chicken kalguksu (egg): ₩12,900 - Spicy chicken kalguksu (kim topping): ₩11,900 - Spicy chicken kalguksu (scallion topping): ₩11,900 Gomtang (a nourishing dish with tender chicken thigh in herbal broth) - Chicken gomtang (with rice): ₩11,500 - Spicy chicken gomtang (with rice): ₩12,500 Chicken maeuntang (a whole chicken dropped into a spicy, punchy stew broth) - Chicken maeuntang: ₩29,000 Samgye kalguksu (half a young chicken, glutinous rice, and kalguksu noodles) - Samgye kalguksu: ₩14,900 - Spicy samgye kalguksu: ₩15,900 Side dishes - Herbal boiled pork: ₩28,000 - Tasting-size boiled pork: ₩10,900 - King meat dumplings (4 pc): ₩6,900 - Kimchi dumplings (4 pc): ₩6,900 - Ribs dumplings (6 pc): ₩6,900 Business name: Cheongdam Dak Kalguksu (self-milled noodles) ![Menu board and prices at Cheongdam Dak Kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongdam-chicken-kalguksu-bokjeong-pork/cheongdam-chicken-kalguksu-bokjeong-pork-03-168ig-900.webp) > Order — Chicken kalguksu (kim topping), tasting-size boiled pork ![Table setting with ordered chicken kalguksu (kim topping) and tasting-size boiled pork](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongdam-chicken-kalguksu-bokjeong-pork/cheongdam-chicken-kalguksu-bokjeong-pork-04-bn06z-900.webp) I stopped by Cheongdam Dak Kalguksu, a great place to visit near Bokjeong-dong and Wirye in Seongnam whenever you're craving a proper broth dish and kalguksu (knife-cut noodle soup). From the clean exterior to the interior design and the generously plated main dishes, it was a thoroughly satisfying meal — one I've filed away as a favorite. ![Exterior of Cheongdam Dak Kalguksu with the 'self-milled noodles' sign](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongdam-chicken-kalguksu-bokjeong-pork/cheongdam-chicken-kalguksu-bokjeong-pork-05-1kunp-900.webp) ![White signage and entrance of Cheongdam Dak Kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongdam-chicken-kalguksu-bokjeong-pork/cheongdam-chicken-kalguksu-bokjeong-pork-06-1njwc-900.webp) ![Interior seating with wood-toned tables](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongdam-chicken-kalguksu-bokjeong-pork/cheongdam-chicken-kalguksu-bokjeong-pork-07-es7fk-900.webp) ![Seating layout inside Cheongdam Dak Kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongdam-chicken-kalguksu-bokjeong-pork/cheongdam-chicken-kalguksu-bokjeong-pork-08-hkow9-900.webp) ## Inside Cheongdam Dak Kalguksu: tablet ordering and the self-serve kimchi bar The exterior of Cheongdam Dak Kalguksu is neat, with a white sign that highlights the phrase 'self-milled noodles,' which raises expectations for the noodles before you even step inside. Once you walk in, clean wood-toned tables and chairs are comfortably arranged, making it a nice atmosphere whether you're dining alone or with family and friends. ![Tablet ordering kiosk installed at the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongdam-chicken-kalguksu-bokjeong-pork/cheongdam-chicken-kalguksu-bokjeong-pork-09-x8won-900.webp) Each table also has a tablet ordering kiosk installed, which is a big plus since you can browse the menu at your own pace and order conveniently. ![Self-serve bar with kkakdugi and spicy kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongdam-chicken-kalguksu-bokjeong-pork/cheongdam-chicken-kalguksu-bokjeong-pork-10-h83oo-900.webp) There's also a neatly maintained self-serve bar on one side. Fresh kkakdugi (cubed radish kimchi) is available along with spicy kimchi (spice level ★★★★★) and mild kimchi kept separately, so you can help yourself according to your taste. It's not an exaggeration to say kimchi is the lifeblood of a kalguksu restaurant, and this crisp, well-made kimchi pairs beautifully with the broth dishes. ![A plate of kimchi taken from the self-serve bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongdam-chicken-kalguksu-bokjeong-pork/cheongdam-chicken-kalguksu-bokjeong-pork-11-ncj36-900.webp) ## How does the 10,900-won chicken kalguksu with kim topping taste? The main dish I ordered at Cheongdam Dak Kalguksu, chicken kalguksu with kim topping, costs ₩10,900 and arrives in a large bowl that feels generous just by looking at it. Shredded chicken and a hearty pile of savory kim (seaweed flakes) sit on top of the milky white chicken broth. ![Chicken kalguksu topped with shredded chicken and kim flakes](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongdam-chicken-kalguksu-bokjeong-pork/cheongdam-chicken-kalguksu-bokjeong-pork-12-gqbr9-900.webp) Taking a first sip of the broth, you get a deep, rich flavor that tastes like it's been carefully simmered for a long time. The clean, mild taste of the chicken and the savory nuttiness of the kim come together harmoniously, creating deep umami. The self-milled noodles are springy yet soft, soaking up the rich broth well while keeping a chewy texture all the way through. Taking a big bite with the noodles and softly shredded chicken together makes for a very filling mouthful. ![Lifting up a strand of self-milled kalguksu noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongdam-chicken-kalguksu-bokjeong-pork/cheongdam-chicken-kalguksu-bokjeong-pork-13-1on24-900.webp) ## Adding the 10,900-won tasting suyuk (boiled pork) as a side The side dish I paired with the kalguksu was the tasting-size boiled pork (matboki suyuk) at ₩10,900. It comes on a clean ceramic plate with evenly sliced boiled pork, along with bossam radish kimchi, thinly sliced garlic, cheongyang chili peppers, salted shrimp, and ssamjang (dipping sauce) — a well-rounded set. The boiled pork has just the right ratio of lean meat to fat, so it's never dry — moist and tender throughout. There's no gamey aftertaste at all, and it's clean-tasting; wrapping a piece with the sweet-and-spicy radish kimchi, garlic, or chili makes for an excellent bite. Eating a piece of pork followed by a sip of the chicken kalguksu broth is easily the best combination. ![Tasting-size boiled pork served with bossam radish kimchi and garlic](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongdam-chicken-kalguksu-bokjeong-pork/cheongdam-chicken-kalguksu-bokjeong-pork-14-17waw-900.webp) ## Is Cheongdam Dak Kalguksu worth a return trip in Bokjeong-dong? Cheongdam Dak Kalguksu is a hidden gem in the Bokjeong-dong and Wirye area of Seongnam, hitting all three marks perfectly: rich broth, carefully self-milled noodles, and boiled pork that pairs beautifully alongside it. ![Final spread of chicken kalguksu and boiled pork together](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongdam-chicken-kalguksu-bokjeong-pork/cheongdam-chicken-kalguksu-bokjeong-pork-15-17pnz-1200.webp) The dining environment is also pleasant, with a well-run self-serve bar and ordering system that makes every visit comfortable. I'd definitely recommend stopping by when you want to fill up warm and hearty. ## Where it is - Cheongdam Dak Kalguksu (청담닭칼국수) - 9 Seongnam-daero 1480beon-gil, Sujeong-gu, Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea, 1st floor - 경기도 성남시 수정구 성남대로1480번길 9 1층 - 37.4621087, 127.1272113 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%B2%AD%EB%8B%B4%EB%8B%AD%EC%B9%BC%EA%B5%AD%EC%88%98/@37.4621087,127.1272113,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@cup-counter-seats/cheongdam-chicken-kalguksu-bokjeong-pork/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
