Arriving before 11am on a Monday still meant a wait, and the order was an extra-large rich bone-broth pork noodle soup, extra-large dongchimi bibim noodles and dombe naengsuyuk (sliced boiled pork), with an extra-large upgrade costing 1,000 won each. The crunchy mu-jangajji (pickled radish) side and easy parking make Handam Guksu a solid lunch stop in Aewol. ## Good to know - **Address**: 1F, 33 Aewol-ro, Aewol-eup, Jeju-si, Jeju - **Hours**: Tue–Sun 10:00–20:30 (last order 19:50), Mon 10:00–16:20 (last order 15:40) - **Break time**: 15:30–17:30 - **Parking**: About two spots in front of the restaurant; 1 hour free at Handam Public Parking Lot (Randy's Donuts lot) and the Handam Trail parking lot - **Ordered**: Extra-large rich bone-broth pork noodle soup, extra-large dongchimi bibim noodles, dombe naengsuyuk - **Extra-large upgrade**: 1,000 won more per bowl - **Side dishes**: Kimchi, mu-jangajji (pickled radish), green chilies — self-serve bar - **Price reference**: ₩1,000 ≈ $0.7 (2026-09-20) *as written by the visitor on Sep 19, 2026* ## Handam Guksu Gwakji Aewol Branch: an Aewol pork noodle restaurant with easy parking ![Photo from visiting Handam Guksu Gwakji Aewol Branch in Jeju Aewol](https://img.superchart.com/images/hawol-handam-noodles-monday-morning-wait/hawol-handam-noodles-monday-morning-wait-01-1skc6-859.webp) If you go to Jeju, you have to eat gogi guksu (pork noodle soup), right? Haha. I visited 'Handam Guksu Gwakji Aewol Branch,' famous as an Aewol pork noodle restaurant. Besides the restaurant's own parking lot, you can also get 1 hour free parking at Handam Public Parking Lot (Randy's Donuts parking) and Handam Trail parking, so there's no need to worry about parking at all 👍 📍 Don't forget to mention parking when you leave ![The storefront of Handam Guksu Gwakji Aewol Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/hawol-handam-noodles-monday-morning-wait/hawol-handam-noodles-monday-morning-wait-02-1fwh2-900.webp) ### Is there a wait at Handam Guksu before 11am on a Monday? Even though I visited early, before 11am on a Monday, there was already a wait. I guess there's a reason it's known as a local Aewol favorite and an Aewol lunch spot. ![The entrance of Handam Guksu with a wait line on a Monday morning](https://img.superchart.com/images/hawol-handam-noodles-monday-morning-wait/hawol-handam-noodles-monday-morning-wait-03-1hjfp-900.webp) Handam Guksu Gwakji Aewol Branch boasts an amazing ocean view. Watching the sea outside while eating was truly healing. ![Ocean view of Aewol beach through the window at Handam Guksu Gwakji Aewol Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/hawol-handam-noodles-monday-morning-wait/hawol-handam-noodles-monday-morning-wait-04-tyy5j-900.webp) ![Interior of the restaurant with the sea visible through the full-length windows](https://img.superchart.com/images/hawol-handam-noodles-monday-morning-wait/hawol-handam-noodles-monday-morning-wait-05-1kygq-899.webp) ## What we ordered at Handam Guksu, and the self-serve side dishes ![The menu board at Handam Guksu Gwakji Aewol Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/hawol-handam-noodles-monday-morning-wait/hawol-handam-noodles-monday-morning-wait-06-sa9ee-900.webp) Here's the menu board. We ordered extra-large rich bone-broth pork noodle soup, extra-large dongchimi bibim noodles, and dombe naengsuyuk 🙆🏻‍♀️ (extra-large adds ₩1,000) ![Side dish spread of kimchi, mu-jangajji, and peppers](https://img.superchart.com/images/hawol-handam-noodles-monday-morning-wait/hawol-handam-noodles-monday-morning-wait-07-brgt9-900.webp) The side dishes were kimchi, mu-jangajji (pickled radish), and peppers. The kimchi felt like fresh geotjeori and paired well with the noodles, and the mu-jangajji, which I tried for the first time, was crunchy and sweet-salty and delicious!! ![Side dishes stocked at the self-serve bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/hawol-handam-noodles-monday-morning-wait/hawol-handam-noodles-monday-morning-wait-08-f183i-878.webp) ![The self-serve side dish corner at Handam Guksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/hawol-handam-noodles-monday-morning-wait/hawol-handam-noodles-monday-morning-wait-09-cgs53-900.webp) ![Side dish containers and tongs at the self-serve bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/hawol-handam-noodles-monday-morning-wait/hawol-handam-noodles-monday-morning-wait-10-1xkqi-900.webp) ![The neatly organized self-serve bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/hawol-handam-noodles-monday-morning-wait/hawol-handam-noodles-monday-morning-wait-11-415vp-900.webp) I liked that the self-serve bar was neatly and fully stocked with side dishes. ![A large sign displaying ingredient origins](https://img.superchart.com/images/hawol-handam-noodles-monday-morning-wait/hawol-handam-noodles-monday-morning-wait-12-1nw4z-569.webp) They also had a big, trustworthy sign showing the origin of ingredients — Handam Guksu is truly a local Aewol favorite 👍 ![The dining hall at Handam Guksu filled with customers](https://img.superchart.com/images/hawol-handam-noodles-monday-morning-wait/hawol-handam-noodles-monday-morning-wait-13-106qc-m-900.webp) ![Window seats with a view of the scenery outside](https://img.superchart.com/images/hawol-handam-noodles-monday-morning-wait/hawol-handam-noodles-monday-morning-wait-14-1iv7z-900.webp) Because it's such a popular spot, I saw all kinds of visitors — families, parents with kids, friends, couples! With the full-length windows, the view outside is so pretty. ![A bowl of noodles placed by the window](https://img.superchart.com/images/hawol-handam-noodles-monday-morning-wait/hawol-handam-noodles-monday-morning-wait-15-1yicz-900.webp) ## How does the rich bone-broth pork noodle soup taste? The rich bone-broth pork noodle soup at Handam Guksu Gwakji Aewol Branch — the visuals alone were a win 🤩 The noodle thickness and doneness were both great. The broth is a deep pork bone base, but it wasn't too strong, which I liked haha. They put in a lot of meat too, and it just kept going down easy! ![Extra-large rich bone-broth pork noodle soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/hawol-handam-noodles-monday-morning-wait/hawol-handam-noodles-monday-morning-wait-16-1ubt7-900.webp) ![Close-up of the pork noodle soup's noodles and meat topping](https://img.superchart.com/images/hawol-handam-noodles-monday-morning-wait/hawol-handam-noodles-monday-morning-wait-17-ia3tg-900.webp) ### Why order one dongchimi bibim noodle bowl too For the dongchimi bibim noodles, pouring in the dongchimi (watery radish kimchi) that comes with it gives a tangy, sweet, savory broth flavor that was great haha. It pairs perfectly with the rich bone-broth noodle soup! You definitely need to order one!! The bean sprouts and cucumber in the bibim noodles added great texture, and the finely chopped meat mixed in was especially tasty! ![Dongchimi bibim noodles with dongchimi being poured in](https://img.superchart.com/images/hawol-handam-noodles-monday-morning-wait/hawol-handam-noodles-monday-morning-wait-18-rv0g8-900.webp) ### Dombe naengsuyuk: wasabi and the house sauce make it For dombe naengsuyuk (sliced boiled pork), apparently you have to eat dombe pork when you come to Jeju? It was sliced thin and easy to eat in one bite, and the wasabi and secret sauce on the side were the kicker! No unpleasant smell at all, and it paired perfectly with the noodles 👍 ![Thinly sliced dombe naengsuyuk with wasabi sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/hawol-handam-noodles-monday-morning-wait/hawol-handam-noodles-monday-morning-wait-19-67gma-1200.webp) Seeing it all together as a full spread makes the combination look even better, right~~~? ![A full spread of two noodle bowls and dombe naengsuyuk](https://img.superchart.com/images/hawol-handam-noodles-monday-morning-wait/hawol-handam-noodles-monday-morning-wait-20-1pbbk-900.webp) ## Looking for a local favorite in Aewol, Jeju?
