Visiting during an off-peak weekend window since the restaurant has no break time, the writer ate seafood hot pot kalguksu (knife-cut noodle soup) and chive pancake at a window seat overlooking the sea, plus barley rice and side dishes. A great spot to catch a sea breeze and finish with a hot bowl of soup. ## Good to know - **Address**: 113 Oido-ro, 1st-2nd floor, Siheung-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - **Hours**: 11:00 AM–10:00 PM (no break time) - **Wednesdays**: Open until 4:00 PM only - **Parking**: Free parking lots in front and behind the restaurant; 1-hour free parking voucher available for the public lot across the street - **Amenities**: Naver reservations available, baby chairs available - **Ordered**: Seafood hot pot kalguksu, chive pancake - **Other menu items**: Seafood hot pot ramyeon, clam kalguksu, black octopus pajeon *as written by the visitor on Sep 9, 2026* Since it was the weekend, I wanted to see the sea again and catch some cool wind, so I took a little trip out to Oido.😎 A great spot for when going far away feels like too much but you still want to see the ocean! ![Main photo of a seafood kalguksu restaurant in Oido](https://img.superchart.com/images/oido-kalguksu-seaview-window-seat/oido-kalguksu-seaview-window-seat-01-1ub2q-1200.webp) *A clean, well-regarded seafood kalguksu restaurant in Oido* It'd be a shame to just look at the sea and go home, so time to hunt down an Oido restaurant too! I wanted something with hot broth, so while searching for a good seafood kalguksu (knife-cut noodle soup) spot, I ended up at 52 Degree Kalguksu Oido Main Branch! ![Exterior of 52 Degree Kalguksu Oido Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/oido-kalguksu-seaview-window-seat/oido-kalguksu-seaview-window-seat-02-1kih4-900.webp) *52 Degree Kalguksu* ## Hours and parking at 52 Degree Kalguksu Oido Main Branch - Address: 113 Oido-ro, Siheung-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - Hours: 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM - Wednesdays only open until 4:00 PM - No break time! - Parking available, Naver reservations available, baby chairs ✅ There are free parking lots in front of and behind the restaurant, and even if you use the public parking lot across the street, they give you a 1-hour free parking voucher.

Stone walls and natural materials are woven throughout the interior, giving it a different vibe from a typical kalguksu restaurant.👍 There were quite a few people, but the space is spacious so it never felt cramped. Lots of tables with families~~!! And the sea visible through the window — 100 points! ![Window with a view of the sea from inside the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/oido-kalguksu-seaview-window-seat/oido-kalguksu-seaview-window-seat-05-uh5k1-900.webp) *Restaurant with sea views* A seat with the sea right in view~! ![Window table with a sea view](https://img.superchart.com/images/oido-kalguksu-seaview-window-seat/oido-kalguksu-seaview-window-seat-06-1kop3-900.webp) ![View of seating at 52 Degree Kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/oido-kalguksu-seaview-window-seat/oido-kalguksu-seaview-window-seat-07-zd64s-900.webp) ![Interior decor at 52 Degree Kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/oido-kalguksu-seaview-window-seat/oido-kalguksu-seaview-window-seat-08-tobm8-900.webp) ![Dining hall seating at 52 Degree Kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/oido-kalguksu-seaview-window-seat/oido-kalguksu-seaview-window-seat-09-eq03o-900.webp) ![Overall atmosphere inside 52 Degree Kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/oido-kalguksu-seaview-window-seat/oido-kalguksu-seaview-window-seat-10-3pvqw-900.webp) ![Menu board at 52 Degree Kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/oido-kalguksu-seaview-window-seat/oido-kalguksu-seaview-window-seat-11-dhxje-900.webp) ## Menu and order ✅ Besides the signature seafood hot pot kalguksu, the menu had seafood hot pot ramyeon, clam kalguksu, and more.

Insane visuals!! I hastily pushed the barley rice aside to take photos first. A look you simply have to capture.🥰 With the seafood piled high in a long pot, it grabbed everyone's attention the moment it landed on the table!😆 Vegetables, beef brisket, dumplings, and then octopus along with abalone, shrimp, crab, clams — all kinds of fresh seafood..! They say they pick fresh ingredients daily, and you could tell at a glance from how varied and generous it looked.🥰 ![Seafood hot pot kalguksu with octopus, abalone, and crab](https://img.superchart.com/images/oido-kalguksu-seaview-window-seat/oido-kalguksu-seaview-window-seat-18-l10uv-900.webp) ![Seafood hot pot kalguksu boiling](https://img.superchart.com/images/oido-kalguksu-seaview-window-seat/oido-kalguksu-seaview-window-seat-19-19d1o-900.webp) Plus the chive pancake we ordered on the side. Totally loaded~! Started fishing out whatever cooked first.😎 The octopus was springy yet tender, with a great chew. ![A piece of octopus being lifted out](https://img.superchart.com/images/oido-kalguksu-seaview-window-seat/oido-kalguksu-seaview-window-seat-20-bk7at-900.webp) The clams and mussels were so~ fresh and plump they were unbelievably good.😂 The refreshing flavor from the fresh clams seeped into the broth too, so I kept scooping up spoonfuls of the soup. ![Plump clams and mussels](https://img.superchart.com/images/oido-kalguksu-seaview-window-seat/oido-kalguksu-seaview-window-seat-21-1ympm-900.webp) The staff even prepped the crab for us! The crab meat was nice and full, so picking it out was genuinely fun. ![Crab prepped by the staff](https://img.superchart.com/images/oido-kalguksu-seaview-window-seat/oido-kalguksu-seaview-window-seat-22-ounqj-900.webp) The abalone was plump, chewy, and tender — really tasty. After eating through most of the seafood, the broth got richer and richer. The refreshing depth from the seafood made the soup heavier than I expected.👍 ![Handmade noodles added to the now-richer broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/oido-kalguksu-seaview-window-seat/oido-kalguksu-seaview-window-seat-23-1h00t-900.webp) They said the noodles are handmade, and after simmering fully in the broth, they were chewy and delicious. As I ate my way through the seafood, I wondered whether I'd have room left for all the noodles given how much food there was — but of course, I finished it all.🤣🤣🤣 ![Complimentary mouthwash provided after the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/oido-kalguksu-seaview-window-seat/oido-kalguksu-seaview-window-seat-24-1rp45-900.webp) *Complimentary mouthwash* Even mouthwash afterward — nice touch! ## Oido trip and seafood kalguksu — a great combo Whenever I came to Oido before, I mostly ate grilled shellfish, but a warm seafood kalguksu loaded with seafood turned out to pair perfectly with a seaside outing too.🥰 Especially as the weather cools down a bit, catching the sea breeze and having a hot bowl of soup is such a great combination..!👍 If you're looking for a solid place to eat near the sea after sightseeing in Oido, I recommend 52 Degree Kalguksu~😎 ## Where it is - 52 Degree Kalguksu Oido Main Branch (오십이도칼국수 오이도본점) - 113 Oido-ro, 1st-2nd floor, Siheung-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - 경기도 시흥시 오이도로 113 1,2층 오십이도칼국수 본점 - 37.3478439, 126.6917062 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%98%A4%EC%8B%AD%EC%9D%B4%EB%8F%84%EC%B9%BC%EA%B5%AD%EC%88%98%20%EC%98%A4%EC%9D%B4%EB%8F%84%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@37.3478439,126.6917062,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@gyeonggi-banchan-book/oido-kalguksu-seaview-window-seat/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
