We enjoyed a generous small bossam and pork cutlet with our child, plus the leafy window view and convenient paid parking. Verdict: a satisfying family meal when everyone wants something different. ## Good to know - **Location**: 2F, 2 Seoae-ro, Jung-gu, Seoul, South Korea (서울특별시 중구 서애로 2, 2층) - **Hours**: 10:30–22:00 - **Break time**: 15:00–16:30 - **Last order**: 21:00 - **Parking**: Paid parking in the Starbucks building opposite the restaurant - **Bossam**: Listed as serving 2 people - **Convenience**: High chairs available *as written by the visitor on Sep 9, 2026* After going to see an exhibition, we were looking for somewhere delicious to eat as a family near Dongguk University, and this time we visited Nagwon-ui Soba Bossam Kalguksu Chungmuro Station Main Branch. From the name alone, I thought soba might be the main thing, but the actual menu had far more variety than expected: soba, kalguksu (knife-cut noodle soup), pork cutlet, and bossam (boiled pork wraps). When you visit with a child like we did, everyone often wants something different, so I loved that we could choose several kinds of dishes in one place. ## What about the location and parking? You can find Nagwon-ui Soba by searching its name, and its exact location is the second floor of the building at 2 Seoae-ro, Jung-gu, Seoul. It is close to Chungmuro Station and not far from Dongguk University, so it is conveniently accessible for anyone looking for a good restaurant near Dongguk University. If you are driving, it is convenient to use the paid parking lot in the building across the street with Starbucks. We drove that day too, and rather than parking at Nagwon-ui Soba itself, we paid to park in the Starbucks building opposite. Visitor information also said that the paid parking lot in the Starbucks building across from the restaurant can be used. The fact that it is paid parking is a little disappointing, but once we went in, there were plenty of spaces, which was nice because parking was not stressful. In Seoul, parking can drain your energy before a restaurant meal even starts, so I liked that we could park comfortably here even at a cost. ![Parking information before visiting Nagwon-ui Soba](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongguk-bossam-window-view-nagwon-soba/dongguk-bossam-window-view-nagwon-soba-01-1fb1m-966.webp) ![Paid parking lot near Nagwon-ui Soba](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongguk-bossam-window-view-nagwon-soba/dongguk-bossam-window-view-nagwon-soba-02-jvlth-966.webp) If there is a wait, you can make a reservation through Catchtable! ## How was the atmosphere by the window? The first thing I really liked was the atmosphere by the window. There were lush green trees outside, and it lifted my mood more than I expected. It is a restaurant right in the middle of the city, but looking out the window did not feel cramped at all, and the green scenery made the whole meal feel more relaxed. I would recommend a window seat on a nice-weather day. The leafy view outside was so lovely, and it kept me in a good mood throughout the meal. The staff were kind as well, so the first impression was great. ![Window view of lush green trees](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongguk-bossam-window-view-nagwon-soba/dongguk-bossam-window-view-nagwon-soba-03-100h6-966.webp) ![Window-seat atmosphere at Nagwon-ui Soba](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongguk-bossam-window-view-nagwon-soba/dongguk-bossam-window-view-nagwon-soba-04-5cs2x-966.webp) ![Green tree view from the window](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongguk-bossam-window-view-nagwon-soba/dongguk-bossam-window-view-nagwon-soba-05-bxric-966.webp) ![Interior window-side atmosphere at Nagwon-ui Soba](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongguk-bossam-window-view-nagwon-soba/dongguk-bossam-window-view-nagwon-soba-06-12994-966.webp) ![Dining area at Nagwon-ui Soba](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongguk-bossam-window-view-nagwon-soba/dongguk-bossam-window-view-nagwon-soba-07-2zefe-966.webp) ## What can you choose besides soba? Looking at the menu, this was not a soba specialty restaurant with only soba; there were quite a few choices, including kalguksu, pork cutlet, and bossam. The current menu also includes house-made soba noodles, kalguksu, old-style Korean pork cutlet, and bossam, so choosing a dish is easy whether you are dining alone or having a family meal. ![Varied menu selection at Nagwon-ui Soba](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongguk-bossam-window-view-nagwon-soba/dongguk-bossam-window-view-nagwon-soba-08-1nl3z-966.webp) ![Soba and kalguksu menu information](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongguk-bossam-window-view-nagwon-soba/dongguk-bossam-window-view-nagwon-soba-09-tyb1o-966.webp) ![Bossam and pork cutlet menu information](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongguk-bossam-window-view-nagwon-soba/dongguk-bossam-window-view-nagwon-soba-10-jrw7y-966.webp) ![Nagwon-ui Soba menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongguk-bossam-window-view-nagwon-soba/dongguk-bossam-window-view-nagwon-soba-11-1uvgy-966.webp) ![Meal menu at Nagwon-ui Soba](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongguk-bossam-window-view-nagwon-soba/dongguk-bossam-window-view-nagwon-soba-12-nehzk-966.webp) ![House-made soba noodle menu selection](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongguk-bossam-window-view-nagwon-soba/dongguk-bossam-window-view-nagwon-soba-13-wo7rb-966.webp) ![Menu choices for a family meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongguk-bossam-window-view-nagwon-soba/dongguk-bossam-window-view-nagwon-soba-14-1b941-966.webp) ## Was the small bossam portion enough? We ordered pork cutlet and bossam that day. Pork cutlet was practically essential since we were with our child, and because I wanted bossam, we ordered the small size. But when it arrived, I was a little surprised. It was the small size, yet there was really much more than I had expected. ![Small bossam order](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongguk-bossam-window-view-nagwon-soba/dongguk-bossam-window-view-nagwon-soba-15-6pvfh-966.webp) When we first ordered, I worried that the small portion might not be enough, but once the food arrived, I realized that had been unnecessary worry. Even the small bossam was very generous, so I recommend checking the sizes carefully when ordering. It was funny because the table behind us was ordering bossam too, and they spent a long time debating whether to get a small or medium. After receiving their food, we heard them say that it would have been a disaster if they had ordered the medium, and we laughed among ourselves. So it was not just us who thought the portion was huge! ![Generous bossam meal spread](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongguk-bossam-window-view-nagwon-soba/dongguk-bossam-window-view-nagwon-soba-16-p64ts-966.webp) ![Generous bossam serving](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongguk-bossam-window-view-nagwon-soba/dongguk-bossam-window-view-nagwon-soba-17-1dwfg-966.webp) The bossam currently listed is also described as for two people, so if you are ordering other dishes too, it would be good to choose with your party size and appetite in mind. The bossam itself was tasty, but I especially liked everything that came with it. Many bossam places give you only one kind of wrap, lettuce or napa cabbage, but this place had a range of wrap vegetables, making it fun to try different combinations. ![Bossam with assorted wrap vegetables](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongguk-bossam-window-view-nagwon-soba/dongguk-bossam-window-view-nagwon-soba-18-1o1sl-966.webp) I especially loved that napa cabbage came with it too. Wrapping a piece of bossam with kimchi in the cabbage was so good. There was not just one kind of kimchi either; there were several to enjoy, along with seasoned pollock sashimi, so even a single plate of bossam never felt monotonous. I first ate the bossam with kimchi, then wrapped it in cabbage, then added seasoned pollock sashimi, and I kept finding new combinations. I personally love this kind of assortment of sides, so I was really satisfied. The pork was moist and tender, good with the wraps, and the generous quantity made it feel like a proper full meal. If you are looking among Dongguk University restaurants for somewhere to visit with a group and eat heartily, I would definitely say to try the bossam. ## Old-style Korean pork cutlet with a child And the pork cutlet we ordered for our child was a success too. ![Old-style Korean pork cutlet ordered with a child](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongguk-bossam-window-view-nagwon-soba/dongguk-bossam-window-view-nagwon-soba-19-1ohpn-966.webp) ![Thick, crispy old-style Korean pork cutlet](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongguk-bossam-window-view-nagwon-soba/dongguk-bossam-window-view-nagwon-soba-20-1d5nn-966.webp) Nagwon-ui Soba has a thick, crispy old-style Korean pork cutlet, described as served with a special house-simmered sauce. Our child ate it really well, and I tried some too—it was delicious. When dining out with a child, it can be a little awkward if the adults' food is good but there is nothing suitable for the child. Here, having pork cutlet meant we could eat comfortably without that concern. ![Pork cutlet with special sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongguk-bossam-window-view-nagwon-soba/dongguk-bossam-window-view-nagwon-soba-21-1xjk5-966.webp) Adults who like soba or kalguksu and children who like pork cutlet could come together without having to worry over menu choices. High chairs are also listed as available, so it seems like a fine place to visit with a child. I would recommend the pork cutlet for a visit with children—our child really enjoyed it. Overall, the food was delicious and the portions were satisfying, but the view from the window made the day even more memorable. Eating bossam while looking at the green trees outside gave the middle of Seoul a quietly relaxed feeling. The staff were kind, the food selection was good, and there was even something for our child to eat, so it was satisfying for a family visit. In particular, the small bossam was so generous that you should not underestimate it, and it stayed delicious to the last bite with napa cabbage, various wrap vegetables, kimchi, and seasoned pollock sashimi. ![Bossam with wrap vegetables](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongguk-bossam-window-view-nagwon-soba/dongguk-bossam-window-view-nagwon-soba-22-4yuam-966.webp) ![Bossam with kimchi and seasoned pollock sashimi](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongguk-bossam-window-view-nagwon-soba/dongguk-bossam-window-view-nagwon-soba-23-1dh8v-966.webp) ![Bossam and pork cutlet for a family meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongguk-bossam-window-view-nagwon-soba/dongguk-bossam-window-view-nagwon-soba-24-ji02f-966.webp) If you are looking for a Dongguk University restaurant where you can choose different dishes depending on your taste—bossam, pork cutlet, kalguksu, or soba—I recommend Nagwon-ui Soba. Even with a child like us, choosing food was easy, and using the paid parking lot across the street made parking relatively convenient, so it seemed like a good place to revisit. From the generous bossam to the pork cutlet our child loved, we had a delicious meal and would like to come back next time. ## Where it is - Nagwon-ui Soba Bossam Kalguksu Chungmuro Station Main Branch (낙원의소바 보쌈칼국수 충무로역본점) - 2 Seoae-ro, Jung-gu, Seoul, South Korea (서울특별시 중구 서애로 2, 2층) - 서울특별시 중구 서애로 2 2층 - 37.5618772, 126.9983275 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%82%99%EC%9B%90%EC%9D%98%EC%86%8C%EB%B0%94%20%EB%B3%B4%EC%8C%88%EC%B9%BC%EA%B5%AD%EC%88%98%20%EC%B6%A9%EB%AC%B4%EB%A1%9C%EC%97%AD%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@37.5618772,126.9983275,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@gyeonggi-seat/dongguk-bossam-window-view-nagwon-soba/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
