My husband and I shared two portions of kalnakji and a plate of suyuk after barley rice. Verdict: a satisfying lunch combination for two. ## Good to know - **Ordered**: 2 portions of kalnakji and one plate of suyuk - **Served alongside**: Barley rice and kimchi *as written by the visitor on Sep 12, 2026* My husband and I were wondering what to have for lunch, and since I’d been craving kalguksu (knife-cut noodle soup) for the first time in a while, we went to Daseon Kalguksu :) ![Kalguksu lunch at Daseon Kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-kalnakji-suyuk-lunch/suwon-kalnakji-suyuk-lunch-01-7p2mq-1200.webp) I came across it while looking for a good kalguksu place in Suwon, and it seemed perfect for lunch for two because we could have suyuk (boiled pork) as well as noodles!! That day, we ordered two portions of kalnakji + one plate of suyuk! I wondered whether it would be enough for us, but to give away the ending, we left feeling very full 😋 ![Lunch spread with kalnakji and suyuk](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-kalnakji-suyuk-lunch/suwon-kalnakji-suyuk-lunch-02-1a60b-900.webp) ![Meal with kalnakji and suyuk](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-kalnakji-suyuk-lunch/suwon-kalnakji-suyuk-lunch-03-m1jjk-900.webp) ## Barley rice before the noodles Barley rice is a must at a kalguksu restaurant 🌿 It came out first while we waited for our order. I had it simply with the side dishes, and it was just right for whetting my appetite before the main meal. Having a little barley rice before the kalguksu was surprisingly filling, haha. The kimchi also went really well with the noodles, so I had them together 🫶🏻 ![Barley rice with side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-kalnakji-suyuk-lunch/suwon-kalnakji-suyuk-lunch-04-4u728-900.webp) ![Barley rice and kimchi served before the noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-kalnakji-suyuk-lunch/suwon-kalnakji-suyuk-lunch-05-1pguc-900.webp) ## Tender plate of suyuk The plate of suyuk came out first! It was laid over chives, which made it nice to eat together. The pork was tender rather than dry, and it was delicious with saeujeot (salted shrimp) or kimchi. Since the kalnakji was a spicy dish, I was especially glad we ordered the suyuk too, haha. A bite of spicy kalguksu followed by a piece of pork was a nice combination 👍🏻 It was also an easy side dish for the two of us to share. ![Plate of suyuk with chives](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-kalnakji-suyuk-lunch/suwon-kalnakji-suyuk-lunch-06-ogugb-900.webp) ![Plate of suyuk with salted shrimp](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-kalnakji-suyuk-lunch/suwon-kalnakji-suyuk-lunch-07-1pcn5-900.webp) ## Two portions of spicy kalnakji And then came the kalnakji we ordered as our main! It was generously filled with kalguksu noodles and octopus, so it looked satisfying just at a glance. The broth was spicy and peppery, which suited my husband and me since we both like spicy soups. The noodles had soaked up the broth, making them easy to slurp, and having octopus here and there made it taste different from regular kalguksu. The octopus was nicely chewy and went well with the noodles 🤤 It was a great choice for a day when I wanted spicy broth without anything too heavy. ![Kalnakji with kalguksu noodles and octopus](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-kalnakji-suyuk-lunch/suwon-kalnakji-suyuk-lunch-08-1fx8s-900.webp) ## Having kalnakji and suyuk together The two of us considered having only kalnakji, but we ordered the suyuk too, and the pairing was better than I expected. Eating the spicy kalnakji and then adding some pork changed things up enough that we didn’t get tired of it. In the end, we finished both the noodles and pork without leaving any behind, haha. It was quite a generous amount for lunch for two, and we finished our meal completely full 😊 ![Lunch of kalnakji and suyuk together](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-kalnakji-suyuk-lunch/suwon-kalnakji-suyuk-lunch-09-114wu-900.webp) ![Kalguksu and suyuk shared by two people](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-kalnakji-suyuk-lunch/suwon-kalnakji-suyuk-lunch-10-18r9b-900.webp) ![A satisfying kalnakji and suyuk combination](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-kalnakji-suyuk-lunch/suwon-kalnakji-suyuk-lunch-11-nut28-900.webp) ![Kalguksu table after finishing lunch](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-kalnakji-suyuk-lunch/suwon-kalnakji-suyuk-lunch-12-10ng4-900.webp) ## A satisfying lunch for just the two of us in Suwon It was lovely to have lunch with just my husband for the first time in a while—eating something delicious and chatting at our leisure. It was a good place to visit when craving spicy kalguksu in Suwon, and if you’re visiting as a pair like us, I’d recommend the combination of two portions of kalnakji and a plate of suyuk. Especially if noodles alone feel a little lacking, or you enjoy sharing several dishes, adding suyuk would be a good idea :) If you’re looking for lunch near Suwon Station, it’s a place worth stopping by at least once! It was even nicer because I got to spend some long-overdue time alone with my husband over a delicious lunch 💕 ![Lunch in Suwon with my husband](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-kalnakji-suyuk-lunch/suwon-kalnakji-suyuk-lunch-13-1q07o-900.webp) That day, we had a hearty lunch of kalnakji and suyuk and left in a great mood 🤍 ## Where it is - Daseon Kalguksu Main Branch (다선칼국수 본점) (다선칼국수 본점) - 48 Hyanggyo-ro, Paldal-gu, Suwon, Gyeonggi, South Korea - 경기도 수원시 팔달구 향교로 48 1층 다선 칼국수 - 37.2691554, 127.0060319 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%8B%A4%EC%84%A0%EC%B9%BC%EA%B5%AD%EC%88%98%20%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@37.2691554,127.0060319,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@dinner-bus-stop/suwon-kalnakji-suyuk-lunch/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
