# Haenggung-dong, Suwon group seating and seafood pasta: The European - By Doyun Ahn (https://superchart.com/en/@gwangju-market-notebook/) - Written Sep 13, 2026 - Local places › Restaurants › Suwon, Gyeonggi - Sponsored: This visit was sponsored by the business. - English edition: https://superchart.com/en/@gwangju-market-notebook/the-european-hanggung-group-seating-seafood-pasta/ - Also in: [한국어](https://superchart.com/ko/@gwangju-market-notebook/the-european-hanggung-group-seating-seafood-pasta/index.md) ## In short The European Haenggung Main Branch is a wood-fired pizza and pasta restaurant in an alley across from Chicken Street in Haenggung-dong, Suwon. The order was tomato-sauce seafood pasta (₩30,000s) and a shrimp garlic pizza topped with whole shrimp, and the deeper part of the room has plenty of tables for family meals or company dinners. Reserving through Catch Table gets you a quieter table, so The European Haenggung works well for a long conversation over dinner. ## Good to know - **Location**: Alley across from Haenggung-dong Chicken Street, Suwon, near the art museum - **Parking**: Public parking lot right next door, private lots nearby - **Signature dishes**: Jambon truffle funghi pizza, basil burrata cheese pizza - **What was ordered**: Seafood pasta (₩30,000s), shrimp garlic pizza - **How to order**: QR code ordering at the table, pay upfront - **Reservations**: Available through Catch Table - **Price reference**: ₩30,000 ≈ $22.5 (2026-09-15) *as written by the visitor on Sep 13, 2026* ![Main photo of The European Haenggung Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/the-european-hanggung-group-seating-seafood-pasta/the-european-hanggung-group-seating-seafood-pasta-01-1mal1-1200.webp) I was really craving Western food after a long while, so I was looking up Suwon restaurants when I found out that The European — the place I used to go to in Gwanggyo — now has a branch in Haenggung-dong too!? I went straight over for pizza and here's my review. ![Exterior of The European Haenggung Main Branch in a Haenggung-dong alley](https://img.superchart.com/images/the-european-hanggung-group-seating-seafood-pasta/the-european-hanggung-group-seating-seafood-pasta-02-1oiri-900.webp) ## Where is The European Haenggung, and where do you park? The European Haenggung Main Branch is across from Haenggung-dong's Chicken Street, in a quieter alley that doesn't get too crowded. There's a public parking lot right next door, so parking was easy 🤩 (there's also a private lot nearby). The main street can get pretty hectic, but this alley has just the right amount of Haenggung-dong charm with a calmer vibe — I love it. ![Wood-fired pizza menu board at The European Haenggung Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/the-european-hanggung-group-seating-seafood-pasta/the-european-hanggung-group-seating-seafood-pasta-03-ssydu-900.webp) ## Wood-fired pizza is the main event: what are the signature pizzas? Since wood-fired pizza is the main event at The European Haenggung, I really recommend ordering one,,❤️✨ The signatures are the jambon truffle fungi pizza and the basil burrata cheese pizza. There are so many pizza types that you can pick to your taste — even just looking at the photos makes me want to eat it again! ![Interior decor of The European Haenggung Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/the-european-hanggung-group-seating-seafood-pasta/the-european-hanggung-group-seating-seafood-pasta-04-1srhc-900.webp) ![Interior of The European with red curtains](https://img.superchart.com/images/the-european-hanggung-group-seating-seafood-pasta/the-european-hanggung-group-seating-seafood-pasta-05-m68g8-900.webp) The red curtain feels like it's The European's real signature! ![Antique-style seating at The European Haenggung Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/the-european-hanggung-group-seating-seafood-pasta/the-european-hanggung-group-seating-seafood-pasta-06-o21mz-900.webp) ![A table at The European Haenggung Main Branch good for conversation](https://img.superchart.com/images/the-european-hanggung-group-seating-seafood-pasta/the-european-hanggung-group-seating-seafood-pasta-07-cwdmr-900.webp) ## Atmosphere and reservations: getting a quieter table The European Haenggung has an antique, cozy atmosphere, so it's totally recommended for a blind date! A place that's too quiet can feel awkward for a date, but here there are enough customers that you don't have to worry about that! haha You know atmosphere is everything in Haenggung-dong! It's a great mood for talking, so even without a blind date, you can eat comfortably while chatting. Reservations are possible too, so I'd book through Catch Table before you go! (I made a reservation and they seated me at a quieter table~!) ![Seating in the inner hall at The European Haenggung Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/the-european-hanggung-group-seating-seafood-pasta/the-european-hanggung-group-seating-seafood-pasta-08-3cqvg-900.webp) ![Interior of The European Haenggung Main Branch that can seat groups](https://img.superchart.com/images/the-european-hanggung-group-seating-seafood-pasta/the-european-hanggung-group-seating-seafood-pasta-09-1vok9-900.webp) ## Can a group or company dinner fit in Haenggung-dong? When I went further inside The European Haenggung, there turned out to be quite a lot of seating. It seems like groups are welcome too, which is great — there aren't many places in Haenggung-dong that can seat a group ㅠㅡㅠ. This looks like it could work for family meals or company dinners!! I once had a lunch company dinner at a pasta place before and it was really nice haha. ![Basic table setting at The European Haenggung Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/the-european-hanggung-group-seating-seafood-pasta/the-european-hanggung-group-seating-seafood-pasta-10-1cdlb-900.webp) ![Cutlery and QR order sheet on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/the-european-hanggung-group-seating-seafood-pasta/the-european-hanggung-group-seating-seafood-pasta-11-1oamw-900.webp) ## QR code ordering and how fast the food arrived At The European Haenggung you order via the QR code on the table, and it's prepayment. The basic table setting and cutlery were cute too, haha. And even with a lot of customers, the food came out surprisingly fast! I really appreciated that (impatient Korean here—). Oh, and they had a good variety of wine and other drinks! I didn't drink any myself, but wine lovers should take note. ## Tomato-sauce seafood pasta at ₩30,000s: worth it? It had been a while since a Western-food date in Haenggung-dong, but I was in the mood for something seafood rather than heavy, so haha, I ordered the seafood pasta. At ₩30,000s it's on the pricier side for pasta here, haha. ![A plate of seafood pasta at The European Haenggung Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/the-european-hanggung-group-seating-seafood-pasta/the-european-hanggung-group-seating-seafood-pasta-12-616el-900.webp) The pasta is underneath, but there's a ton of seafood on top! Recommended for seafood lovers — squid, mussels, and shrimp galore. ![Seafood pasta loaded with squid, mussels, and shrimp](https://img.superchart.com/images/the-european-hanggung-group-seating-seafood-pasta/the-european-hanggung-group-seating-seafood-pasta-13-11jv6-900.webp) ![Close-up of tomato-sauce seafood pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/the-european-hanggung-group-seating-seafood-pasta/the-european-hanggung-group-seating-seafood-pasta-14-4bkhv-900.webp) ![Noodles lifted from the seafood tomato pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/the-european-hanggung-group-seating-seafood-pasta/the-european-hanggung-group-seating-seafood-pasta-15-88vhk-900.webp) The pasta sauce is tomato-based, haha. It came out piping hot and the pasta was delicious, and the shrimp and mussels were great too ⭐️ ## Shrimp garlic pizza with whole shrimp and whole garlic cloves A wood-fired pizza that came out with whole shrimp and whole garlic on it. ![Wood-fired shrimp garlic pizza topped with whole shrimp](https://img.superchart.com/images/the-european-hanggung-group-seating-seafood-pasta/the-european-hanggung-group-seating-seafood-pasta-16-mlitw-900.webp) Honestly I'm not a big eater, but the pizza was so good I finished it all,,, The dough was nice and chewy, and the shrimp came whole (a bit tricky to peel, haha), but together with the garlic it was seriously delicious!!! ![A slice of shrimp garlic pizza with chewy dough](https://img.superchart.com/images/the-european-hanggung-group-seating-seafood-pasta/the-european-hanggung-group-seating-seafood-pasta-17-c0ihb-900.webp) ![Shrimp garlic pizza and pasta together on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/the-european-hanggung-group-seating-seafood-pasta/the-european-hanggung-group-seating-seafood-pasta-18-8m45a-900.webp) The visuals are pretty great too, aren't they ㅠㅠ. The wood-fired pizza here is genuinely delicious, and maybe because the chef used to work at the Shilla Hotel, the flavor had a distinct, unique deliciousness, haha. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for a Western-food date spot near Suwon Hwaseong Fortress in Haenggung-dong 🫶 Take note of the location! It's near the art museum, haha. Make sure to reserve so you can visit without waiting, and definitely order the pizza! Totally recommend it. ## Where it is - The European Haenggung Main Branch (더유로피언 행궁본점) - 21-1 Haenggung-ro, Paldal-gu, Suwon-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - 경기도 수원시 팔달구 행궁로 21-1 1층 - 37.2805735, 127.0148789 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%8D%94%EC%9C%A0%EB%A1%9C%ED%94%BC%EC%96%B8%20%ED%96%89%EA%B6%81%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@37.2805735,127.0148789,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@gwangju-market-notebook/the-european-hanggung-group-seating-seafood-pasta/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
