# Bibim guksu solo lunch at Gangnam Gyoja, a Seohyeon Station restaurant - By Yerin Poh (https://superchart.com/en/@gimpo-narrow-diner/) - Written Sep 18, 2026 - Local places › Restaurants › Seongnam, Gyeonggi - Sponsored: This visit was sponsored by the business. - English edition: https://superchart.com/en/@gimpo-narrow-diner/seohyeon-station-bibim-noodles-gyoja-solo-lunch/ - Also in: [한국어](https://superchart.com/ko/@gimpo-narrow-diner/seohyeon-station-bibim-noodles-gyoja-solo-lunch/index.md) ## In short Gangnam Gyoja Bundang Seohyeon Branch is a kalguksu (knife-cut noodle soup) and gyoza dumpling restaurant on the 2nd floor of Dadu Plaza, right in front of AK Plaza by Exit 5 of Seohyeon Station in Seongnam, Gyeonggi. Eating alone on a weekday around 1pm, the writer had one bowl of bibim guksu (spicy mixed noodles) tossed with meat and cucumber strips and a full plate of ten gyoza dumplings that burst with juice. Gangnam Gyoja is known for its kalguksu, but the bibim guksu was a success too, and a return visit is certain. ## Good to know - **Address**: 10 Seohyeon-ro 210beon-gil, Bundang-gu, Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-do (Dadu Plaza, 2nd floor) - **Location**: 167m from Exit 5 of Seohyeon Station (Suin-Bundang Line), right in front of AK Plaza - **Hours**: Mon–Sun 11:00–21:00 - **Break time**: 15:00–17:00 - **Ordering**: Tablet ordering at the table - **Seating**: Solo seats, tables for 2 and 4, group tables - **What was ordered**: 1 bowl of bibim guksu, 1 plate of gyoza dumplings (ten pieces) - **Self-service bar**: Free bowl of rice - **Table condiments**: Kalguksu dadaegi (spicy paste), soy sauce, pepper, red pepper powder - **Event**: Tteokgalbi or one drink for a Naver receipt review *as written by the visitor on Sep 18, 2026* ## Where is Gangnam Gyoja Bundang Seohyeon Branch, and is there a wait? ![Exterior of Gangnam Gyoja Bundang Seohyeon Branch in front of AK Plaza near Seohyeon Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/seohyeon-station-bibim-noodles-gyoja-solo-lunch/seohyeon-station-bibim-noodles-gyoja-solo-lunch-01-rw0o6-900.webp) ![Entrance to Gangnam Gyoja on the 2nd floor of Dadu Plaza](https://img.superchart.com/images/seohyeon-station-bibim-noodles-gyoja-solo-lunch/seohyeon-station-bibim-noodles-gyoja-solo-lunch-02-1bqy4-900.webp) Visited Gangnam Gyoja Bundang Seohyeon Branch for a Seohyeon Station lunch spot. It's right in front of Seohyeon Station and AK Plaza, so accessibility is amazing!! Even directionally-challenged me found it right away. I went a bit past the weekday lunch rush, around 1pm, and got in with no wait. But customers kept streaming in nonstop. Makes sense — this is the branch famous for the Myeongdong Gangnam Gyoja line, plus its own reputation as a Seohyeon Station favorite. ![Spacious, clean interior of Gangnam Gyoja Bundang Seohyeon Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/seohyeon-station-bibim-noodles-gyoja-solo-lunch/seohyeon-station-bibim-noodles-gyoja-solo-lunch-03-17sdt-900.webp) ![Restaurant seating with solo seats and 4-person tables](https://img.superchart.com/images/seohyeon-station-bibim-noodles-gyoja-solo-lunch/seohyeon-station-bibim-noodles-gyoja-solo-lunch-04-1q00r-900.webp) ## Solo seats at Gangnam Gyoja and what the dining room feels like Gangnam Gyoja Bundang Seohyeon Branch is spacious and clean overall!! There are solo seats, 2-person tables, 4-person tables, and even group seating, so it works for solo dining or a group meal. The whole place is tidy, and the utensils all come individually wrapped, so even a cleanliness-obsessed person like me could eat with total peace of mind. ![Table set with individually wrapped utensils](https://img.superchart.com/images/seohyeon-station-bibim-noodles-gyoja-solo-lunch/seohyeon-station-bibim-noodles-gyoja-solo-lunch-05-obc5w-900.webp) ## Ordering by tablet: bibim guksu instead of the famous kalguksu You order by tablet once you sit down. This place is really famous for its kalguksu, but I wasn't in the mood for that today, so I ordered one bowl of bibim guksu and a plate of gyoza dumplings. And that turned out to be a great call. I thought they only did kalguksu and dumplings well, but it's a bibim guksu spot too... though every other table around me was eating kalguksu!! ![Menu on the tablet ordering screen](https://img.superchart.com/images/seohyeon-station-bibim-noodles-gyoja-solo-lunch/seohyeon-station-bibim-noodles-gyoja-solo-lunch-06-x9hw4-900.webp) ![Sign for the receipt review event](https://img.superchart.com/images/seohyeon-station-bibim-noodles-gyoja-solo-lunch/seohyeon-station-bibim-noodles-gyoja-solo-lunch-07-1ruh1-900.webp) ## Receipt review tteokgalbi, free rice and the self-serve seasoning bar They're running a review event right now. Leave a Naver receipt review and you get tteokgalbi (grilled short rib patties) or a drink! I already ordered plenty so I skipped it. Next time I'm doing the review event for that tteokgalbi! The table next to me got it, and it looked delicious. At the self-service bar you can grab free rice — mixing it into leftover kalguksu broth must be amazing. Every table also has its own seasoning tray with kalguksu dadegi, soy sauce, pepper, and red pepper powder. I made myself a solid dipping sauce with soy sauce and red pepper powder for the gyoza. ![Homemade gyoza dipping sauce made with soy sauce and red pepper powder](https://img.superchart.com/images/seohyeon-station-bibim-noodles-gyoja-solo-lunch/seohyeon-station-bibim-noodles-gyoja-solo-lunch-08-bhjti-1200.webp) ## What the bibim guksu tastes like, and the broth served with it My plate of gyoza and bibim guksu came out really fast — maybe five minutes!! ![Table set with bibim guksu and a plate of gyoza dumplings](https://img.superchart.com/images/seohyeon-station-bibim-noodles-gyoja-solo-lunch/seohyeon-station-bibim-noodles-gyoja-solo-lunch-09-149ei-900.webp) When you order bibim guksu, they give you a broth too — seolleongtang-style? kalguksu broth? Not totally sure, but it was so refreshing and delicious. I drank it in one go. ![비빔국수와 함께 나온 맑은 육수](https://img.superchart.com/images/seohyeon-station-bibim-noodles-gyoja-solo-lunch/seohyeon-station-bibim-noodles-gyoja-solo-lunch-10-1rj8s-900.webp) ![Gangnam Gyoja's bibim guksu topped with cucumber strips](https://img.superchart.com/images/seohyeon-station-bibim-noodles-gyoja-solo-lunch/seohyeon-station-bibim-noodles-gyoja-solo-lunch-11-1jdeh-900.webp) The noodles in the bibim guksu are unusual. Someone told me the name of the noodle type but I forget... anyway, it's healthier than wheat noodles. Much less heavy than a flour noodle, so I enjoyed it thoroughly. And the seasoning wasn't just sauce — it looked like it had bits of the gyoza filling (meat) mixed right in. Plus cucumber strips on top, which paired perfectly and tasted amazing!!! Even writing this now I'm drooling ㅠㅠ I want to eat it again ㅠㅜ ![Bibim guksu noodles mixed with meaty seasoning](https://img.superchart.com/images/seohyeon-station-bibim-noodles-gyoja-solo-lunch/seohyeon-station-bibim-noodles-gyoja-solo-lunch-12-1pw60-900.webp) ## How many gyoza dumplings come on one plate? Ten And then the gyoza plate. I expected maybe four or five, but ten came out and I was genuinely startled. The portion is huge!!!! Eating alone, I was briefly overwhelmed looking at the pile, but it was so good I scraped the plate clean. The gyoza dough was wonderfully chewy on the outside, and the filling burst with juice inside — so good. Freshly steamed dumplings are just the best, you all know it... ![Plate of ten Gangnam Gyoja dumplings](https://img.superchart.com/images/seohyeon-station-bibim-noodles-gyoja-solo-lunch/seohyeon-station-bibim-noodles-gyoja-solo-lunch-13-1qtt5-900.webp) ![Wrapping a gyoza dumpling with kimchi on top](https://img.superchart.com/images/seohyeon-station-bibim-noodles-gyoja-solo-lunch/seohyeon-station-bibim-noodles-gyoja-solo-lunch-14-rgfno-900.webp) ## Finishing the bibim guksu with kimchi on top The bibim guksu and dumpling combo needs no explanation. I wrapped bites and piled kimchi on top too. Gangnam Gyoja's kimchi is genuinely delicious. Like, really really good. The table next to me refilled their kimchi at least five times and said 'thanks for the great kimchi!' on their way out — that's how good it is!! My Seohyeon Station lunch at Gangnam Gyoja was a total success. Definitely planning to come back!! ## Where it is - Gangnam Gyoja Bundang Seohyeon Branch (강남교자 분당서현점) - 10 Seohyeon-ro 210beon-gil, Bundang-gu, Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea (Dadu Plaza, 2nd floor, Unit 208) - 경기도 성남시 분당구 서현로210번길 10 다두프라자 208호 - 37.3864019, 127.1248263 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EA%B0%95%EB%82%A8%EA%B5%90%EC%9E%90%20%EB%B6%84%EB%8B%B9%EC%84%9C%ED%98%84%EC%A0%90/@37.3864019,127.1248263,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@gimpo-narrow-diner/seohyeon-station-bibim-noodles-gyoja-solo-lunch/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
