Super clean, right? hahaha ![The wide-open entrance of Yubok Kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/yuvok-kalguksu-yongin-minsokchon-weekend/yuvok-kalguksu-yongin-minsokchon-weekend-03-yd4yr-966.webp) The entrance felt wide open from the moment you walk in, so it didn't feel stuffy at all! ![Seating inside the Yubok Kalguksu dining room](https://img.superchart.com/images/yuvok-kalguksu-yongin-minsokchon-weekend/yuvok-kalguksu-yongin-minsokchon-weekend-04-h81j2-966.webp) ![View of the dining hall with spacious tables](https://img.superchart.com/images/yuvok-kalguksu-yongin-minsokchon-weekend/yuvok-kalguksu-yongin-minsokchon-weekend-05-rh1ck-966.webp) There was plenty of seating inside! Looked great for groups too :) In fact, on the day I went there was already a group reservation happening lol. If I'd arrived even a little later I might not have gotten a seat.... ![Interior with group seating](https://img.superchart.com/images/yuvok-kalguksu-yongin-minsokchon-weekend/yuvok-kalguksu-yongin-minsokchon-weekend-06-sg25k-m-966.webp) ![Table arrangement in the Yubok Kalguksu dining hall](https://img.superchart.com/images/yuvok-kalguksu-yongin-minsokchon-weekend/yuvok-kalguksu-yongin-minsokchon-weekend-07-l6bep-966.webp) There was also a self-serve bar where you could grab extra side dishes! ![Self-serve bar for extra side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/yuvok-kalguksu-yongin-minsokchon-weekend/yuvok-kalguksu-yongin-minsokchon-weekend-08-8td1w-508.webp) ## What comes with the pufferfish kalguksu set for two? There was a menu board at the restaurant, but to show you more clearly I pulled the menu from Naver! Ordered: pufferfish kalguksu set for two → The set comes with jjukkumi (spicy octopus) and barley rice set up for mixing! ![Table setting for the pufferfish kalguksu set for two](https://img.superchart.com/images/yuvok-kalguksu-yongin-minsokchon-weekend/yuvok-kalguksu-yongin-minsokchon-weekend-09-c8pos-966.webp) ![Set meal with jjukkumi and barley rice included](https://img.superchart.com/images/yuvok-kalguksu-yongin-minsokchon-weekend/yuvok-kalguksu-yongin-minsokchon-weekend-10-17yb1-966.webp) This is how they set it up for you! ![Side dishes laid out on the table with the set meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/yuvok-kalguksu-yongin-minsokchon-weekend/yuvok-kalguksu-yongin-minsokchon-weekend-11-11981-966.webp) ![Pot of simmering kalguksu with the hourglass timer](https://img.superchart.com/images/yuvok-kalguksu-yongin-minsokchon-weekend/yuvok-kalguksu-yongin-minsokchon-weekend-12-1yivw-966.webp) ### The 3–4 minute hourglass rule for the noodles Once the kalguksu comes out, you flip the hourglass and wait about 3–4 minutes! This waiting is so hard.... I waited about 3 minutes, and it felt like it kept simmering for maybe 2 more minutes on top of that!! ![Timing the kalguksu with the hourglass](https://img.superchart.com/images/yuvok-kalguksu-yongin-minsokchon-weekend/yuvok-kalguksu-yongin-minsokchon-weekend-13-uutnp-966.webp) ## How the jjukkumi barley rice and pufferfish broth taste Since I ordered the set, jjukkumi + barley rice came as extras! The barley rice portion was bigger than I expected lol. And the jjukkumi pieces were big and spicy, so it was really tasty haha. ![Spicy jjukkumi mixed with barley rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/yuvok-kalguksu-yongin-minsokchon-weekend/yuvok-kalguksu-yongin-minsokchon-weekend-14-1r1ot-966.webp) The kalguksu is made with pufferfish broth so it was so refreshing! Even after finishing a whole bowl of jjukkumi and rice, there was still room for the kalguksu...haha ![A bowl of seafood kalguksu made with pufferfish broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/yuvok-kalguksu-yongin-minsokchon-weekend/yuvok-kalguksu-yongin-minsokchon-weekend-15-1ezxn-1200.webp) The kalguksu broth had mideodeok (sea pineapple), green onion, and clams in it! There was more mideodeok than I expected? But you know mideodeok is super hot right when it's cooked, so you have to let it cool before eating, right? hahaha The noodles seemed machine-cut, and the broth was so delicious!!! > The kalguksu broth is seriously the best!!! ![Kalguksu broth with mideodeok and clams](https://img.superchart.com/images/yuvok-kalguksu-yongin-minsokchon-weekend/yuvok-kalguksu-yongin-minsokchon-weekend-16-1p3h4-966.webp) There was also a sign explaining the pufferfish broth, so I took a photo! I'd recommend giving it a read sometime haha (I didn't read it....lol) ![Sign explaining the pufferfish broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/yuvok-kalguksu-yongin-minsokchon-weekend/yuvok-kalguksu-yongin-minsokchon-weekend-17-1mwsv-m-966.webp) ## Dessert corner and final verdict on Yubok Kalguksu For dessert, there were puffed rice snacks on display! A dessert loved by both kids and adults haha. My mom and I were too full so we skipped it haha. ![Dessert corner with puffed rice snacks](https://img.superchart.com/images/yuvok-kalguksu-yongin-minsokchon-weekend/yuvok-kalguksu-yongin-minsokchon-weekend-18-16mhs-m-966.webp) At other restaurants, even with a coffee machine, the entrance/exit is often narrow and uncomfortable :( But at Yubok Kalguksu the entrance/exit is wide so it never felt crowded! The owner and staff were kind too, and like I kept saying, the place is spacious so it never felt cramped! Next time I want to try the jjukkumi seafood chive pancake. If you're coming out to the Korean Folk Village, I'd recommend having Yubok Kalguksu for dinner! Perfect for this kind of weather!!! haha ## Where it is - Yubok Kalguksu Yongin Korean Folk Village Branch (유복칼국수 용인민속촌점) - 24 Minsokchon-ro, 1st floor, Giheung-gu, Yongin-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - 경기도 용인시 기흥구 민속촌로 24 1층 - 37.2547667, 127.1072278 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%9C%A0%EB%B3%B5%EC%B9%BC%EA%B5%AD%EC%88%98%20%EC%9A%A9%EC%9D%B8%EB%AF%BC%EC%86%8D%EC%B4%8C%EC%A0%90/@37.2547667,127.1072278,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@gyeonggi-diner-ledger/yuvok-kalguksu-yongin-minsokchon-weekend/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
