The writer ordered the Haepum Haesintang (₩70,000), made with a whole domestic chicken, octopus, small octopus, shrimp, and seasonal shellfish, cooking vegetables and fish cake shabu-shabu style before adding ₩5,000 for porridge simmered in the broth with sticky rice and minari. With a playroom and baby chairs on site, it's a great spot to recover your strength with kids in tow. ## Good to know - **Hours**: Daily 11:00–21:30 (last order 20:30) - **Parking**: Available (shared lot in front and behind the building) - **Baby chair**: Available - **Playroom**: Visible through a full glass wall and CCTV; a care-kids zone - **Haepum Haesintang**: ₩70,000 - **Haepum Samgyetang**: ₩17,000 - **Baekhap Kalguksu**: ₩11,000 - **Bangye Kalguksu**: ₩10,000 - **Bangye Gomtang**: ₩10,000 - **Obok Kkotmandu**: ₩7,000 - **Porridge add-on**: ₩5,000 - **Ordering**: Tablet ordering; pay at the counter on your way out - **Address**: 164 Solmoru-ro, A-dong 1F, Soheul-eup, Pocheon-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea (10-min walk from Songwu-ri Terminal) *as written by the visitor on Sep 9, 2026* ![Signature photo of Haepumgye, a haesintang restaurant in Songwu-ri, Pocheon](https://img.superchart.com/images/haepumgye-pocheon-haesintang-porridge/haepumgye-pocheon-haesintang-porridge-01-1gdit-1200.webp) - Hours: daily 11:00–21:30 - Last order 20:30 - Parking: available - Baby chair: available ![Exterior of Haepumgye at the Hasongwuri intersection](https://img.superchart.com/images/haepumgye-pocheon-haesintang-porridge/haepumgye-pocheon-haesintang-porridge-02-1bvkw-900.webp) ## Location and parking at Haepumgye Haepumgye, a well-known restaurant for boyangsik (health-boosting food) in Songwu-ri, Pocheon, sits right next to Doodream Sonjjajang at the Hasongwuri intersection. Even though it shares a parking lot with other restaurants, there was plenty of space both in front of and behind the building, so parking wasn't a worry. It's also a 10-minute walk from Songwu-ri Terminal, so walking there is a perfectly good option too. The interior struck me with its clean white-and-wood design, and the tables were spaced generously apart, which made it feel comfortable. ![Seating inside Haepumgye with white-and-wood interior](https://img.superchart.com/images/haepumgye-pocheon-haesintang-porridge/haepumgye-pocheon-haesintang-porridge-03-6x9la-900.webp) ![View of the Haepumgye dining hall with widely spaced tables](https://img.superchart.com/images/haepumgye-pocheon-haesintang-porridge/haepumgye-pocheon-haesintang-porridge-04-1r0z7-900.webp) Off to one side there was a self-serve bar with drinks for after your meal, and it was so neatly kept that it gave me confidence in the food and put me in a good mood. ![Self-serve bar and after-meal drinks corner at Haepumgye](https://img.superchart.com/images/haepumgye-pocheon-haesintang-porridge/haepumgye-pocheon-haesintang-porridge-05-11r3k-900.webp) ![Neatly organized items on the self-serve bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/haepumgye-pocheon-haesintang-porridge/haepumgye-pocheon-haesintang-porridge-06-uk2il-870.webp) ## What's the playroom like? My kid, who claimed not to want to go to a restaurant (haha), took off running the moment they spotted the playroom 🏃🏻🏃🏻🏃🏻 It doesn't look like much to an adult's eye, but it has everything a child could want, and mine really loved it. The playroom has a full glass wall so you can see inside through the window, but you can also check on it via CCTV. Since the playroom is a care-kids zone, guardians need to keep an eye on things regularly, and I liked that I could check on what was happening inside without having to get up much during the meal. ![Haepumgye's playroom seen through the full glass wall](https://img.superchart.com/images/haepumgye-pocheon-haesintang-porridge/haepumgye-pocheon-haesintang-porridge-07-olinq-900.webp) ![Play equipment inside the Haepumgye playroom](https://img.superchart.com/images/haepumgye-pocheon-haesintang-porridge/haepumgye-pocheon-haesintang-porridge-08-9csqr-900.webp) ![CCTV screen showing the playroom](https://img.superchart.com/images/haepumgye-pocheon-haesintang-porridge/haepumgye-pocheon-haesintang-porridge-09-1wkeq-m-900.webp) ## Haepumgye menu and prices You order via tablet and pay at the counter on your way out. Haepumgye's menu includes the Haepum Haesintang (₩70,000), Haepum Samgyetang (₩17,000), Baekhap Kalguksu (₩11,000), Bangye Kalguksu (₩10,000), Bangye Gomtang (₩10,000), and Obok Kkotmandu (₩7,000). The haesintang (seafood-chicken hotpot) is the main dish, but they also sell hearty options that work well for a satisfying lunch of boyangsik. ![Haepumgye's menu and prices displayed on the tablet](https://img.superchart.com/images/haepumgye-pocheon-haesintang-porridge/haepumgye-pocheon-haesintang-porridge-10-xdml4-m-900.webp) Haepumgye, a well-known boyangsik and haesintang restaurant in Songwu-ri, Pocheon, is the only place in Pocheon selling haesintang, so we ordered the Haepum Haesintang. ![Table set after ordering at Haepumgye](https://img.superchart.com/images/haepumgye-pocheon-haesintang-porridge/haepumgye-pocheon-haesintang-porridge-11-1j8o8-900.webp) The basic side dishes were a flavorful set of three kinds of kimchi. ![Three kinds of kimchi served as basic side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/haepumgye-pocheon-haesintang-porridge/haepumgye-pocheon-haesintang-porridge-12-fqfkp-900.webp) ![Side dish plate with kimchi and kkakdugi](https://img.superchart.com/images/haepumgye-pocheon-haesintang-porridge/haepumgye-pocheon-haesintang-porridge-13-qpuas-813.webp) ![Full spread of Haepum Haesintang served in a large pot](https://img.superchart.com/images/haepumgye-pocheon-haesintang-porridge/haepumgye-pocheon-haesintang-porridge-14-143p4-900.webp) ## What's in the Haepum Haesintang Before long, our full spread of Haepum Haesintang arrived. Apparently the Haepum Haesintang comes with a whole domestic chicken, octopus, small octopus, shrimp, seasonal shellfish, mushrooms, fish cake, and a basket of fresh vegetables. Shooting from above made the pot look small, but it was actually huge, and when I lifted it slightly it was really heavy... With a whole chicken plus octopus, shellfish, vegetables and more packed in, it was genuinely generous. The seasonal shellfish included scallops, hard clams, and Manila clams. The basket of fresh vegetables came with napa cabbage, bok choy, minari, enoki mushrooms, mung bean sprouts, and fish cake, which was great for adding in shabu-shabu style as we ate through the hotpot. ![Plump octopus, trimmed and plated](https://img.superchart.com/images/haepumgye-pocheon-haesintang-porridge/haepumgye-pocheon-haesintang-porridge-15-1qf1f-900.webp) Beautifully trimmed, plump octopus 🐙 The octopus wasn't tough at all — it was soft, so even the kids ate it happily. The chicken came out thoroughly cooked, so whether it was breast or leg meat, it was all tender, and the bones separated easily from the flesh. ![Thoroughly cooked chicken with bones separated from the meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/haepumgye-pocheon-haesintang-porridge/haepumgye-pocheon-haesintang-porridge-16-y8hxd-900.webp) ![Haesintang chicken plated with dipping sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/haepumgye-pocheon-haesintang-porridge/haepumgye-pocheon-haesintang-porridge-17-7sl9w-900.webp) It's tasty dipped in the soy sauce, but depending on your preference you can also dip it in chogochujang (vinegared chili paste) or hamcho (glasswort) salt. ![Three dipping sauces: soy sauce, chogochujang, and hamcho salt](https://img.superchart.com/images/haepumgye-pocheon-haesintang-porridge/haepumgye-pocheon-haesintang-porridge-18-1n2ao-900.webp) ![Haesintang ingredients dipped into sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/haepumgye-pocheon-haesintang-porridge/haepumgye-pocheon-haesintang-porridge-19-4bqk5-900.webp) ## How the broth changes once you add the vegetables After we'd fished out most of the seafood, we added the vegetables and fish cake. At first the broth was clean and light, but since this is a dish you keep simmering right in the pot as you eat, the broth kept releasing more flavor and turned rich and deep. ![The haesintang pot simmering with vegetables and fish cake added](https://img.superchart.com/images/haepumgye-pocheon-haesintang-porridge/haepumgye-pocheon-haesintang-porridge-20-jl1po-900.webp) ![Deeply flavored haesintang broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/haepumgye-pocheon-haesintang-porridge/haepumgye-pocheon-haesintang-porridge-21-orzoc-900.webp) Topping it with a piece of well-fermented kkakdugi (cubed radish kimchi) added even more savory depth, and it was also delicious dipped in salt! ## Should you add the porridge? After finishing all that haesintang, I was genuinely full, but then I saw another table eating porridge and just couldn't let it go! Made with the broth that's absorbed all the flavor of the seafood and vegetables, plus sticky rice and minari mixed in, it's healthy and delicious. The porridge costs an extra ₩5,000, which felt a little pricey, but I'd definitely recommend adding it. ![Porridge simmered in the haesintang broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/haepumgye-pocheon-haesintang-porridge/haepumgye-pocheon-haesintang-porridge-22-1fhzw-900.webp) ![A bowl of porridge with sticky rice and minari](https://img.superchart.com/images/haepumgye-pocheon-haesintang-porridge/haepumgye-pocheon-haesintang-porridge-23-md890-900.webp) ![Porridge and side dishes to close out the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/haepumgye-pocheon-haesintang-porridge/haepumgye-pocheon-haesintang-porridge-24-1lu30-900.webp) If you're looking for a boyangsik restaurant or a haesintang restaurant in Pocheon, I'd recommend Haepumgye! ## Where it is - Haepumgye Pocheon Main Branch (해품계 포천본점) - 164 Solmoru-ro, A-dong 1F, Soheul-eup, Pocheon-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - 경기도 포천시 소흘읍 솔모루로 164 A동 1층 - 37.8345059, 127.1527493 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%95%B4%ED%92%88%EA%B3%84%20%ED%8F%AC%EC%B2%9C%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@37.8345059,127.1527493,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@gyeonggi-order-rounds/haepumgye-pocheon-haesintang-porridge/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
