Arriving at 1:10pm on a weekend meant about 10 minutes of waiting, and both the pork jowl suyuk gukbap and the plain suyuk gukbap came loaded with meat in a rich beef bone broth. Order the pork jowl bowl for nutty, fatty richness, or the plain suyuk gukbap for leaner, cleaner meat. ## Good to know - **Visit time**: Weekend lunch, 1:10pm - **Wait**: About 10 minutes, 1 party ahead (separate waiting room) - **Ordered**: Pork jowl suyuk gukbap, plain suyuk gukbap - **Condiments**: Dadaegi chili paste, ssamjang, salted shrimp and onion come only on request - **Price reference**: ₩8,500 ≈ $6.2 (2026-09-18) *as written by the visitor on Sep 17, 2026* ## What kind of gukbap restaurant is Boseung Hoegwan Cheonho Station Branch? Boseung Hoegwan Cheonho Station Branch is a sundae (blood sausage) and pork-neck sujuk gukbap Korean restaurant near Cheonho Station. I had lunch here while out and about in Seoul! It had been a while since I'd been near Cheonho Station and the area had improved so much. I saw a lot of young newlywed couples too. Do you know Boseung Hoegwan? This was my first time hearing about it haha, but it turns out it's famous — for sundae and pork-neck sujuk gukbap! If you're craving sundae, headmeat, pork jowl, and hot soup all at once, Boseung Hoegwan is pretty much perfect. ![Exterior of Boseung Hoegwan Cheonho Station Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/bosung-hoegwan-cheonho-weekend-lunch-gukbap/bosung-hoegwan-cheonho-weekend-lunch-gukbap-01-1aps4-1200.webp) ## How long is the weekend lunch wait at Boseung Hoegwan? I arrived at Boseung Hoegwan Cheonho Station Branch at 1:10pm on a weekend and there was already one party ahead of me — the place was packed! I waited about 10 minutes. I guess it's popular because the food is known for being carefully made haha. ![Weekend lunch waiting line at Boseung Hoegwan Cheonho Station Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/bosung-hoegwan-cheonho-weekend-lunch-gukbap/bosung-hoegwan-cheonho-weekend-lunch-gukbap-02-f0cfg-900.webp) They even have a separate waiting room, and it turns out this is a gukbap restaurant with deep, generations-old roots haha. Cheonho Station has so much to eat now, I want to live here too. How's everyone spending their weekends these days? I feel like mine is just going out to eat with my partner. It's the turn from summer into fall, so it's finally nice enough to be outside haha. ![Separate waiting room at Boseung Hoegwan Cheonho Station Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/bosung-hoegwan-cheonho-weekend-lunch-gukbap/bosung-hoegwan-cheonho-weekend-lunch-gukbap-03-14bdb-900.webp) While waiting I browsed the ads and thought about what to order. Based on my 1:10pm arrival, I think I waited about 10 minutes haha. ![Menu signage browsed while waiting](https://img.superchart.com/images/bosung-hoegwan-cheonho-weekend-lunch-gukbap/bosung-hoegwan-cheonho-weekend-lunch-gukbap-04-tylkb-900.webp) ## Inside Boseung Hoegwan: seating and what to order The interior of Boseung Hoegwan Cheonho Station Branch is clean, which put me at ease! I saw quite a few families too. The staff were moving around busily. Ah, I'm getting hungry. ![Interior seating and decor of Boseung Hoegwan Cheonho Station Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/bosung-hoegwan-cheonho-weekend-lunch-gukbap/bosung-hoegwan-cheonho-weekend-lunch-gukbap-05-1nfi6-900.webp) Time to dig in!! The sundae, headmeat, and boiled pork all looked amazing. It's strange how little my stomach can hold compared to how much I want to eat haha. ![Menu sign for sundae, headmeat, and boiled pork](https://img.superchart.com/images/bosung-hoegwan-cheonho-weekend-lunch-gukbap/bosung-hoegwan-cheonho-weekend-lunch-gukbap-06-1dxzv-900.webp) It's famous both as a Cheonho Station restaurant and as a gukbap spot. Being hungry made me impatient — I basically ordered while still reading the menu, a real skill haha. ![Menu board at Boseung Hoegwan Cheonho Station Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/bosung-hoegwan-cheonho-weekend-lunch-gukbap/bosung-hoegwan-cheonho-weekend-lunch-gukbap-07-ytz1t-900.webp) I used to think ₩8,500 for gukbap was expensive, but with prices rising these days, well, it's a bit of a sigh. Still, for pork jowl sujuk, the price feels reasonable haha. ![Menu board showing pork jowl sujuk price](https://img.superchart.com/images/bosung-hoegwan-cheonho-weekend-lunch-gukbap/bosung-hoegwan-cheonho-weekend-lunch-gukbap-08-dw0g8-900.webp) ## How does the pork jowl suyuk gukbap taste? Maybe because Boseung Hoegwan Cheonho Station Branch has good turnover, the food came out faster than I expected?? Korean speed is really something haha. Busy, busy modern society! The gukbap arrived with pork jowl and sundae in a pale, rich bone broth +_+ The sundae can be eaten right away, but they said to wait for the meat until the broth boils. ![Gukbap set with pork jowl and sundae in rich bone broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/bosung-hoegwan-cheonho-weekend-lunch-gukbap/bosung-hoegwan-cheonho-weekend-lunch-gukbap-09-162hn-900.webp) Side dishes came out too, and the kkakdugi (diced radish kimchi) especially had a strong fermented-shrimp aroma that made it easy to keep eating, yum yum! By the way, what do you all dip your sundae in?! Salt, scallion, doenjang, sauce, ssamjang, or salted shrimp?! Honestly, I love ssamjang the most, even though it's the one that puts on the most weight haha. Haha, I want more blood sundae. That settles it, I'm eating it again today. ![Side dishes including kkakdugi served with the gukbap](https://img.superchart.com/images/bosung-hoegwan-cheonho-weekend-lunch-gukbap/bosung-hoegwan-cheonho-weekend-lunch-gukbap-10-47j8a-900.webp) This is my pork jowl sujuk gukbap! Loaded generously with meat, and the broth was a work of art. I love that particular richness and savoriness of pork jowl — that crisp bite in your mouth followed by the nutty flavor. ![A bowl of pork jowl sujuk gukbap loaded with meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/bosung-hoegwan-cheonho-weekend-lunch-gukbap/bosung-hoegwan-cheonho-weekend-lunch-gukbap-11-1le5s-900.webp) Generous meat and deep broth flavor! The onions and vegetables mixed in along the way made a fantastic combo, chomp chomp. Partway through, I started wanting to add some perilla seed powder haha. Can you see the meat? Great thickness, generous amount. Maybe because I've been taking herbal medicine lately, my appetite has gotten so much bigger? ![Close-up of thickly sliced pork jowl meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/bosung-hoegwan-cheonho-weekend-lunch-gukbap/bosung-hoegwan-cheonho-weekend-lunch-gukbap-12-2piv7-900.webp) ## Pork jowl suyuk gukbap vs plain suyuk gukbap: which to pick My partner ordered the plain sujuk gukbap at Boseung Hoegwan Cheonho Station Branch! For anyone who prefers leaner, plainer meat over pork jowl, I'd recommend the plain sujuk gukbap instead. ![Plain sujuk gukbap with lean meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/bosung-hoegwan-cheonho-weekend-lunch-gukbap/bosung-hoegwan-cheonho-weekend-lunch-gukbap-13-1d6q7-900.webp) My partner's plain sujuk gukbap was also generously loaded with meat and the broth was very tasty haha. But even if I ate here again, I'd still recommend the pork jowl gukbap. After finishing, I started craving an Americano haha. I think we'll hold hands, grab an Americano, and head home. ![Side plate of extra chili paste, ssamjang, salted shrimp, and onion](https://img.superchart.com/images/bosung-hoegwan-cheonho-weekend-lunch-gukbap/bosung-hoegwan-cheonho-weekend-lunch-gukbap-14-56wvl-900.webp) ## Ordering tips for Boseung Hoegwan Cheonho Station Branch Make sure to add chili paste, ssamjang, salted shrimp, and onion — I thought all of that came out automatically, but it turns out you have to request it separately.
