Broth-style kal-nakji with pork bossam near Suwon Station: Daseon
Daseon Kalguksu Main Branch is a 25-plus-year-old kalguksu (knife-cut noodle) restaurant about a 10-minute walk from Exits 7 and 8 of Suwon Station. The writer ordered the dasean kal-nakji (spicy octopus noodle soup) for two in the broth style with the basic spice level, plus a plate of boiled pork, and found the heat about equal to Shin Ramyun with a steady stream of clams and octopus. For a filling meal, go for kal-nakji plus bossam; for value, the set menu is the better pick.
