After a walk, I had spicy-sweet bibim chik naengmyeon with octopus dumplings, jjukkumi dumplings, and Coke Zero. Verdict: a cool, filling post-walk meal. ## Good to know - **Address**: Suite 208, 32 Dongtandaero 5-gil, Dongtan-gu, Hwaseong, Gyeonggi, South Korea - **Ordered**: Bibim chik naengmyeon, octopus dumplings, jjukkumi dumplings, Coke Zero *as written by the visitor on Sep 11, 2026* ![A naengmyeon meal near Dongtan Lake Park](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-lake-park-spicy-arrowroot-noodles/dongtan-lake-park-spicy-arrowroot-noodles-01-9f4y0-966.webp) ## Naengmyeon after a walk around Dongtan Lake Park I was looking for somewhere to have lunch near Dongtan Lake Park, and ended up heading to Naengmyeon Gajun Dongtan Main Branch (냉면가준 동탄본점). ![Visiting a naengmyeon restaurant near Dongtan Lake Park](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-lake-park-spicy-arrowroot-noodles/dongtan-lake-park-spicy-arrowroot-noodles-02-gxgk9-966.webp) As the weather was gradually starting to warm up, I naturally found myself craving a cool noodle dish. ![Cool noodles on a hot day](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-lake-park-spicy-arrowroot-noodles/dongtan-lake-park-spicy-arrowroot-noodles-03-1eq15-966.webp) ![Cool noodles on a hot day](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-lake-park-spicy-arrowroot-noodles/dongtan-lake-park-spicy-arrowroot-noodles-04-o9dbn-966.webp) Since I was already out for a walk around the lake park, I searched for good nearby restaurants. Naengmyeon Gajun caught my eye, so I went right in without hesitation. ![A naengmyeon restaurant found after a lake park walk](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-lake-park-spicy-arrowroot-noodles/dongtan-lake-park-spicy-arrowroot-noodles-05-16scv-966.webp) ![Naengmyeon Gajun Dongtan Main Branch near the lake park](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-lake-park-spicy-arrowroot-noodles/dongtan-lake-park-spicy-arrowroot-noodles-06-n19m9-966.webp) First, here is the location of Naengmyeon Gajun Dongtan Main Branch: Suite 208, 32 Dongtandaero 5-gil, Dongtan-gu, Hwaseong, Gyeonggi, South Korea. ![Choosing from the menu at Naengmyeon Gajun Dongtan Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-lake-park-spicy-arrowroot-noodles/dongtan-lake-park-spicy-arrowroot-noodles-07-89c2u-966.webp) ## What did the bibim chik naengmyeon taste like? As soon as I sat down, I looked through the menu, but there were more varieties of naengmyeon than I expected, so it took some thinking~~~~~!! ![Choosing among the many naengmyeon options](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-lake-park-spicy-arrowroot-noodles/dongtan-lake-park-spicy-arrowroot-noodles-08-3w25j-966.webp) ![Choosing among the many naengmyeon options](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-lake-park-spicy-arrowroot-noodles/dongtan-lake-park-spicy-arrowroot-noodles-09-1fkzy-966.webp) In the end, I chose bibim chik naengmyeon (spicy mixed kudzu noodles). The bowl arrived heaped with the characteristically dark noodles of chik naengmyeon, and just looking at it got my appetite going~~~~~~~~~~~~~!! ![Dark noodles in bibim chik naengmyeon](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-lake-park-spicy-arrowroot-noodles/dongtan-lake-park-spicy-arrowroot-noodles-10-p92mt-966.webp) ![A bowl of bibim chik naengmyeon](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-lake-park-spicy-arrowroot-noodles/dongtan-lake-park-spicy-arrowroot-noodles-11-zdiv5-966.webp) I mixed in the sauce and took a bite. The spicy-sweet flavor came through strongly, but the finish was clean rather than heavy or murky~~~~~~~~!!! ![Spicy-sweet bibim chik naengmyeon mixed with sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-lake-park-spicy-arrowroot-noodles/dongtan-lake-park-spicy-arrowroot-noodles-12-ld9hw-966.webp) ![Spicy-sweet bibim chik naengmyeon mixed with sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-lake-park-spicy-arrowroot-noodles/dongtan-lake-park-spicy-arrowroot-noodles-13-okmvh-966.webp) Maybe because they were kudzu noodles, they felt even chewier than regular naengmyeon, and the more I chewed, the more I could notice their subtle aroma. I just kept reaching for them with my chopsticks. On a sweltering day, a bowl of naengmyeon like this feels as though it melts all the stress away~~~~~~~~~~~~!!! ![A bowl of chewy kudzu noodle bibim naengmyeon](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-lake-park-spicy-arrowroot-noodles/dongtan-lake-park-spicy-arrowroot-noodles-14-mx7j0-966.webp) ## Lunch with octopus and jjukkumi dumplings Naengmyeon alone felt like it might be a little lacking, so I added two kinds of mandu (Korean dumplings): octopus dumplings and jjukkumi dumplings. They were both combinations I was trying for the first time, so I was half excited and half worried~~~~~~~~!! The moment I took a bite, those worries disappeared. The octopus dumplings were full of chewy octopus inside the wrappers, giving each bite a springy texture, while their distinctive savory flavor spread right through~~~~~!! The jjukkumi dumplings also had a light coating of spicy seasoning, making them hard to stop reaching for. Both kinds were generously filled, so even one or two felt satisfying~~~~~~~~~~~!!! ![Octopus dumplings and jjukkumi dumplings as side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-lake-park-spicy-arrowroot-noodles/dongtan-lake-park-spicy-arrowroot-noodles-15-1l8yh-966.webp) The cool naengmyeon and chewy dumplings alternated across my palate, so there was never a dull moment throughout the meal. Adding Coke Zero made the combination perfect~~~~~~~~~~~~~!! ![Coke Zero served with bibim naengmyeon and dumplings](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-lake-park-spicy-arrowroot-noodles/dongtan-lake-park-spicy-arrowroot-noodles-16-ii1k9-966.webp) While eating the spicy bibim naengmyeon and dumplings, the fizzy carbonation cleared my throat so refreshingly—there really is no better pairing~~~~!!!!!!!!!! ![A meal combination of spicy naengmyeon and dumplings](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-lake-park-spicy-arrowroot-noodles/dongtan-lake-park-spicy-arrowroot-noodles-17-1et3d-1200.webp) These days, I seem to always look for Coke Zero when eating out, since I can enjoy the refreshment without worrying about calories. ![A refreshing finish to a naengmyeon lunch](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-lake-park-spicy-arrowroot-noodles/dongtan-lake-park-spicy-arrowroot-noodles-18-1omm8-966.webp) ## A stop on a Dongtan Lake Park outing Even after eating until I was full, I was able to finish the meal feeling refreshed rather than weighed down. Add Naengmyeon Gajun Dongtan Main Branch to your Dongtan Lake Park outing, and the route works out perfectly: a walk and a meal in one go. ![A naengmyeon meal after an outing at Dongtan Lake Park](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-lake-park-spicy-arrowroot-noodles/dongtan-lake-park-spicy-arrowroot-noodles-19-7t43n-966.webp) After walking one lap around the park, filling up on a bowl of spicy, cool bibim chik naengmyeon makes the day feel nicely complete. ![Spicy bibim chik naengmyeon after a walk](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-lake-park-spicy-arrowroot-noodles/dongtan-lake-park-spicy-arrowroot-noodles-20-1tqv9-966.webp) ![Unusual dumplings ordered alongside naengmyeon](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-lake-park-spicy-arrowroot-noodles/dongtan-lake-park-spicy-arrowroot-noodles-21-1nkc3-966.webp) I would strongly recommend the octopus dumplings and jjukkumi dumplings as sides when one order of naengmyeon does not quite feel like enough. The next time I visit the lake park, I think I will try the mul naengmyeon (cold noodle soup) version too. ## Where it is - Naengmyeon Gajun Dongtan Main Branch (냉면가준 동탄본점) - Suite 208, 32 Dongtandaero 5-gil, Dongtan-gu, Hwaseong, Gyeonggi, South Korea - 경기도 화성시 동탄구 동탄대로5길 32 208호 - 37.1669987, 127.1039484 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%83%89%EB%A9%B4%EA%B0%80%EC%A4%80%20%EB%8F%99%ED%83%84%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@37.1669987,127.1039484,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@gyeonggi-dining-lane/dongtan-lake-park-spicy-arrowroot-noodles/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
