A bowl costs 9,000 won at lunch and comes with free noodle refills and free rice, while the geotjeori (fresh cabbage kimchi) is made daily with Korean-grown cabbage. Even a partner who usually avoids kalguksu finished the bowl, thanks to the clean, cool anchovy broth. ## Good to know - **Dongjuk kalguksu (clam noodle soup)**: 9,000 won - **Mulchong (clam) soup**: 15,000 won - **Herbal bossam (boiled pork)**: 15,000 won - **Free extras**: Noodle refill, bowl of rice - **Side dishes**: Self-serve corner (geotjeori, pickled radish, pickled peppers, seasoning sauce) - **Drinks**: Soju, beer, makgeolli, Gochang bokbunja (raspberry wine) - **Hours**: Tue–Sat 11:00–15:00, Sun 11:00–20:30 - **Closed**: Every Monday - **Parking**: Street in front of the restaurant (11:30–13:30), behind the building at other times - **Payment**: Local currency (regional gift certificates) accepted - **Price reference**: ₩9,000 ≈ $6.5 · ₩15,000 ≈ $11 (2026-09-19) *as written by the visitor on Sep 17, 2026* ![Main image of Gogo Kalguksu in Maetan-dong, Suwon](https://img.superchart.com/images/gogo-kalguksu-dongjuk-lunch-suwon/gogo-kalguksu-dongjuk-lunch-suwon-01-1qi4h-1200.webp) ## Gogo Kalguksu hours and location in Maetan-dong, Suwon Gogo Kalguksu is a dongjuk kalguksu (clam noodle soup) specialist at 279 Ingye-ro, 1st floor, Yeongtong-gu, Suwon, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea, in Maetan-dong 866-12.

Parking is available on the road right in front of the restaurant from 11:30 to 13:30, lunchtime hours — and since I happened to visit right during lunch, I could park comfortably right out front. Outside those hours, you can use the space behind the building. ![Gogo Kalguksu menu board listing dongjuk kalguksu and bossam](https://img.superchart.com/images/gogo-kalguksu-dongjuk-lunch-suwon/gogo-kalguksu-dongjuk-lunch-suwon-03-1xjr2-900.webp) ## Gogo Kalguksu menu and prices The menu has dongjuk kalguksu for ₩9,000, multgotong (clam) soup for ₩15,000, and herbal bossam (boiled pork) for ₩15,000. It's great for lunch, but the bossam and soup also make perfect drinking snacks, so if you like a drink, they work well as anju (drinking food) too. There's a good lineup of alcohol too — soju, beer, makgeolli, and Gochang bokbunja. I was there for a meal, so I ordered the dongjuk kalguksu!! ![Interior of the restaurant with a sign noting free noodle refill and rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/gogo-kalguksu-dongjuk-lunch-suwon/gogo-kalguksu-dongjuk-lunch-suwon-04-15y6q-900.webp) ### Free noodle refills and free rice at lunch Looking around inside, I noticed noodle refills and rice were free!!! It's great being able to eat the noodles and then fill up with rice on top. Guys with a big appetite should definitely take advantage of the free noodle refill. ![Self-serve side dish corner with geotjeori and pickled radish](https://img.superchart.com/images/gogo-kalguksu-dongjuk-lunch-suwon/gogo-kalguksu-dongjuk-lunch-suwon-05-gqbld-900.webp) ### Self-serve side dishes and geotjeori made fresh daily At the self-serve corner, I could help myself to kimchi, pickled radish, pickled peppers, and seasoning sauce — all things that go well with kalguksu. The kimchi on offer is geotjeori (fresh cabbage kimchi), and knowing it's made fresh every single day really shows the care put in. ![Geotjeori kimchi made with Korean-grown cabbage](https://img.superchart.com/images/gogo-kalguksu-dongjuk-lunch-suwon/gogo-kalguksu-dongjuk-lunch-suwon-06-efr9f-900.webp) With all the worry these days about Chinese cabbage, it was reassuring that Gogo Kalguksu uses fresh, Korean-grown cabbage — good taste, and above all, peace of mind. ![Table set with small plates and side dishes in advance](https://img.superchart.com/images/gogo-kalguksu-dongjuk-lunch-suwon/gogo-kalguksu-dongjuk-lunch-suwon-07-9tcmr-900.webp) Since the side dishes are self-serve, you get your side dishes and a small plate ready ahead of time, then wait for the kalguksu to arrive~ ![A bowl of Gogo Kalguksu topped with clams](https://img.superchart.com/images/gogo-kalguksu-dongjuk-lunch-suwon/gogo-kalguksu-dongjuk-lunch-suwon-08-h6rfq-900.webp) ![Dongjuk kalguksu full of clams in anchovy broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/gogo-kalguksu-dongjuk-lunch-suwon/gogo-kalguksu-dongjuk-lunch-suwon-09-on05k-900.webp) ## How is the broth and are the noodles at Gogo Kalguksu? Gogo Kalguksu's dongjuk kalguksu uses Korean-grown anchovies simmered for a long time, so the broth tastes deep, cool, and refreshing. With the clams added on top, the clean flavor is even more pronounced, and picking through for the clams is part of the fun. ![Chewy kalguksu noodles lifted with chopsticks](https://img.superchart.com/images/gogo-kalguksu-dongjuk-lunch-suwon/gogo-kalguksu-dongjuk-lunch-suwon-10-1ja60-m-900.webp) ![Dongjuk kalguksu eaten topped with geotjeori](https://img.superchart.com/images/gogo-kalguksu-dongjuk-lunch-suwon/gogo-kalguksu-dongjuk-lunch-suwon-11-maw65-900.webp) The noodles are chewy, and slurping them down with the house-made geotjeori is a great match of crisp and chewy textures that go down easily. My partner, who isn't usually a big fan of kalguksu, said the noodles here were really good and ate happily 😀 After finishing the noodles and clams, I even mixed in the rice for a hearty finish^^ ![Thoroughly de-gritted Gochang clam meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/gogo-kalguksu-dongjuk-lunch-suwon/gogo-kalguksu-dongjuk-lunch-suwon-12-vh46f-900.webp) ### Gochang clams and how the grit is cleaned out One thing I noticed while eating was how thoroughly the clams had been de-gritted — no grit at all, so I could enjoy every bite to the end. Gogo Kalguksu uses Gochang clams, which is probably how they achieve such a clean taste. Clams are a high-protein, low-fat food that's good for cardiovascular health, the liver, bone health, and boosting immunity, and being mild and light, they're easy to enjoy without feeling heavy. It's nice to be able to check the key benefits too. ![Self-serve seasoning sauce for a spicier taste](https://img.superchart.com/images/gogo-kalguksu-dongjuk-lunch-suwon/gogo-kalguksu-dongjuk-lunch-suwon-13-1vmbg-900.webp) ### Want it spicier? Stir in the seasoning sauce If you like a spicier, more intense flavor, there's a seasoning sauce set aside separately that you can add to taste. ![Pepper and seasoning sauce sprinkled onto the kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/gogo-kalguksu-dongjuk-lunch-suwon/gogo-kalguksu-dongjuk-lunch-suwon-14-13z2r-900.webp) And of course, no kalguksu is complete without pepper. I started off eating it plain and clean, but by the end, adding pepper and seasoning sauce gave it a different, delicious flavor. It was exactly the kind of dish you want when you've lost your appetite at lunchtime. ## Why Gogo Kalguksu is worth a second visit Next time, I want to come back for the herbal bossam and multgotong (clam) soup as drinking food. It's a place that works whether you're with family or friends, or dining alone — not intimidating at all. The weather's slowly turning colder, and that's exactly the season you start craving hot kalguksu haha. Had a delicious meal at Gogo Kalguksu, a Maetan-dong favorite~~+ Also worth noting, they accept local currency 🫶 ## Where it is - Gogo Kalguksu (고고칼국수) - 279 Ingye-ro, 1st floor, Yeongtong-gu, Suwon-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - 경기도 수원시 영통구 인계로 279 1층 - 37.2636451, 127.0480473 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EA%B3%A0%EA%B3%A0%EC%B9%BC%EA%B5%AD%EC%88%98/@37.2636451,127.0480473,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@gimpo-dusk-counter/gogo-kalguksu-dongjuk-lunch-suwon/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
