The ₩14,900 samgye kalguksu came with half a chicken, house-made noodles, and rice, while solo seats and a self-service bar made dining easy. Verdict: a satisfying, warming lunch for a different kind of kalguksu. ## Good to know - **Hours**: Sun–Fri 11:00–21:00 - **Regular closing day**: Every Saturday - **Break time**: 15:00–16:30 - **Parking**: No parking at the restaurant; use the public parking lot across the street - **Cheongdam Dak Kalguksu (egg)**: ₩11,900 - **Chicken kalguksu (seaweed or scallion topping)**: ₩10,900 - **Samgye kalguksu**: ₩14,900 - **Chicken gomtang**: ₩11,500 - **Large meat dumplings, kimchi dumplings, or galbi dumplings**: ₩6,900 *as written by the visitor on Sep 10, 2026* When the weather turns chilly between seasons, I think that is when we really need to take care of our health. While looking for a good place to eat around Bokjeong-dong, I visited Cheongdam Dak Kalguksu (청담닭칼국수). ![Photo from a visit to Cheongdam Dak Kalguksu in Bokjeong-dong](https://img.superchart.com/images/bokjeong-samgye-kalguksu-cheongdamdak/bokjeong-samgye-kalguksu-cheongdamdak-01-ca8km-900.webp) ## Cheongdam Dak Kalguksu near Bokjeong Station ![Cheongdam Dak Kalguksu near Bokjeong Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/bokjeong-samgye-kalguksu-cheongdamdak/bokjeong-samgye-kalguksu-cheongdamdak-02-1bm4p-900.webp) Cheongdam Dak Kalguksu is within walking distance of Bokjeong Station and near Dong Seoul University, so I heard that plenty of people come here for lunch. It is regularly closed every Saturday, and break time is from 15:00 to 16:30. ![Cheongdam Dak Kalguksu hours and parking information](https://img.superchart.com/images/bokjeong-samgye-kalguksu-cheongdamdak/bokjeong-samgye-kalguksu-cheongdamdak-03-3pmta-900.webp) You cannot park in front of the restaurant, but there is a public parking lot directly across the street, where you can park cheaply. ## Cheongdam Dak Kalguksu menu and prices ![Cheongdam Dak Kalguksu menu and prices](https://img.superchart.com/images/bokjeong-samgye-kalguksu-cheongdamdak/bokjeong-samgye-kalguksu-cheongdamdak-04-gvpa9-900.webp) The menu includes chicken kalguksu (knife-cut noodle soup), samgye kalguksu, chicken gomtang, and dumplings.

Baby spoons and forks are available too. ![Self-service bar and side dishes at Cheongdam Dak Kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/bokjeong-samgye-kalguksu-cheongdamdak/bokjeong-samgye-kalguksu-cheongdamdak-10-ol23d-900.webp) I am a kkakdugi (cubed radish kimchi) person, so I brought back plenty of the refreshing kkakdugi. The dish I ordered was samgye kalguksu. ![Samgye kalguksu at Cheongdam Dak Kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/bokjeong-samgye-kalguksu-cheongdamdak/bokjeong-samgye-kalguksu-cheongdamdak-11-150km-1200.webp) ## Samgye kalguksu with half a chicken The menu I chose that day was samgye kalguksu (chicken ginseng soup noodle soup). It even came topped with a cute little ginseng root, and I thought it must be really popular on boknal, Korea's hottest summer days. The chicken kalguksu looked delicious too, but I was curious about the samgye kalguksu because even its name felt a little special, so I ordered it. It felt like eating kalguksu and samgyetang at once, making it a great choice when you want a hearty meal. There was a generous half chicken in it. The rich chicken broth had perilla seeds in it, giving it a lovely nutty flavor. It also came with kalguksu and rice. The kalguksu noodles in particular were house-made, soft, and easy on the stomach. ![Samgye kalguksu with chicken and kalguksu noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/bokjeong-samgye-kalguksu-cheongdamdak/bokjeong-samgye-kalguksu-cheongdamdak-12-1xa6y-900.webp) The chewy noodles and chicken were such a delicious combination. With large pieces of chicken in it, it was more filling than having noodles alone. It is also a good menu choice when visiting with children. If you like samgyetang and kalguksu, I think samgye kalguksu is worth trying at least once—just as its name suggests, it is for people who enjoy both samgyetang and chicken kalguksu. It was a bit different from a bowl of samgyetang, and having kalguksu alongside it made for a satisfying meal. Especially on days when you feel sluggish like these, having warm broth and chicken together somehow makes you feel energized, doesn't it? ## For a hearty lunch in Bokjeong-dong If you are looking for a hearty lunch in Bokjeong-dong, Cheongdam Dak Kalguksu felt less like a restaurant with a flashy atmosphere and more like a comfortable place to drop by for a warm bowl of kalguksu. It did not feel awkward to dine alone, and it also looked like a good spot to visit with family or acquaintances for chicken kalguksu or samgye kalguksu. For anyone like me who usually enjoys kalguksu but wants something a little more substantial, I would recommend the samgye kalguksu. Next time, I want to try the basic chicken kalguksu too. ## Where it is - Cheongdam Dak Kalguksu (청담닭칼국수) - 9 Seongnam-daero 1480beon-gil, Sujeong-gu, Seongnam, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - 경기도 성남시 수정구 성남대로1480번길 9 1층 - 37.4621087, 127.1272113 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%B2%AD%EB%8B%B4%EB%8B%AD%EC%B9%BC%EA%B5%AD%EC%88%98/@37.4621087,127.1272113,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@gyeonggi-noon-stool/bokjeong-samgye-kalguksu-cheongdamdak/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
