Over a rainy weekday lunch the writer ordered Boksan Haejangguk at 11,000 won and haejang kalguksu at 13,000 won, then added a 1,000-won somyeon (thin wheat noodle) portion to eat it like a hangover noodle soup; the broth was mild rather than sharp, with plenty of beef and radish. Boksan Haejang serves lunch only, for three and a half hours a day, so arriving early is the safest plan. ## Good to know - **Location**: 8 Songjeong29-gil, 1st floor, Buk-gu, Ulsan - **Hours**: Tue–Sun 11:00–14:30 (last order 14:00) - **Closed**: Every Monday; closed Sep 25–28 for Chuseok - **Boksan Haejangguk**: 11,000 won - **Haejang kalguksu**: 13,000 won - **Somyeon noodle add-on**: 1,000 won - **Korean beef brisket haejangguk**: 19,000 won - **Seating**: About 8 tables - **Parking**: Street parking available nearby - **Amenities**: Aprons, baby chairs, hair ties, four seasonings - **Price reference**: ₩13,000 ≈ $9.4 (2026-09-20) *as written by the visitor on Sep 18, 2026* It rained on and off, the sky was gloomy, and I found myself craving something hot and rich — so I headed to lunch at Boksan Haejang, which was already packed with customers! ## Boksan Haejang hours and location (Songjeong29-gil, Buk-gu, Ulsan) Boksan Haejang is on the 1st floor of 8 Songjeong29-gil, Buk-gu, Ulsan, and it's open Tuesday to Sunday, 11:00 to 14:30.

The haejangguk (hangover soup) arrived~ ![A bowl of Boksan Haejangguk](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-songjeong-haejangguk-somyeon-sari/ulsan-songjeong-haejangguk-somyeon-sari-11-obvls-966.webp) *Boksan Haejangguk (11,000)* Boksan Haejangguk is a Gyeongsang-style beef gukbap. The broth is rich yet clean, and it's loaded with meat and radish, so it's really filling with rice! ![Meat and radish inside the haejangguk](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-songjeong-haejangguk-somyeon-sari/ulsan-songjeong-haejangguk-somyeon-sari-12-1lp09-966.webp) The hot broth comes packed with glass noodles, bean sprouts, and more — plenty satisfying as a lunch on its own! ![Haejangguk with glass noodles and bean sprouts](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-songjeong-haejangguk-somyeon-sari/ulsan-songjeong-haejangguk-somyeon-sari-13-zn4t1-966.webp) It's not too greasy or harsh, and it goes down easily once you mix in the rice (steam rising everywhere~ careful, it's hot haha) A bite with some well-fermented diced radish kimchi on top, yum~ The crunchy texture and tangy flavor cleanse your palate! ![A spoonful of haejangguk topped with diced radish kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-songjeong-haejangguk-somyeon-sari/ulsan-songjeong-haejangguk-somyeon-sari-14-s85ml-966.webp) The radish is soft enough to melt in your mouth, cooked until tender~ It's fully soaked up the flavor of the broth, so even the radish alone tastes deep and rich Got surprised by how hot the broth was! (bubbling away~ like lava haha, watch your mouth) ![Steaming hot haejangguk](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-songjeong-haejangguk-somyeon-sari/ulsan-songjeong-haejangguk-somyeon-sari-15-nblmf-966.webp) The broth isn't harsh but has real depth, so the more you eat, the more you keep going back for another spoonful! ## Haejang Kalguksu (₩13,000) and the ₩1,000 somyeon topping ![Haejang Kalguksu noodles at Boksan Haejang](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-songjeong-haejangguk-somyeon-sari/ulsan-songjeong-haejangguk-somyeon-sari-16-1i3ip-966.webp) Haejang Kalguksu is ₩13,000. Slurping down the chewy kalguksu (hand-cut noodles) leaves you properly full~ No need for many side dishes, you can finish the whole bowl on its own! ![Somyeon noodle topping served with broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-songjeong-haejangguk-somyeon-sari/ulsan-songjeong-haejangguk-somyeon-sari-17-15668-966.webp) *Somyeon topping (1,000)* The somyeon (thin wheat noodle) topping is such a generous deal at just a thousand won~ It's not just noodles, it comes with broth too haha. Add the topping and you've basically got hangover noodle soup! Slurping down the somyeon~ hangover noodle time hehe. It tastes a bit like ramen noodles with a touch of sesame oil (a thousand won's worth of happiness) ## Baby chairs, aprons, and other amenities The staff were kind too~ ![Apron and baby chair at Boksan Haejang](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-songjeong-haejangguk-somyeon-sari/ulsan-songjeong-haejangguk-somyeon-sari-18-1uqq9-966.webp) *Apron and baby chair* ![A sign with restaurant information at Boksan Haejang](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-songjeong-haejangguk-somyeon-sari/ulsan-songjeong-haejangguk-somyeon-sari-19-1mhrg-966.webp) The signage has a fun sense of humor haha ![Sign for the Korean beef brisket haejangguk](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-songjeong-haejangguk-somyeon-sari/ulsan-songjeong-haejangguk-somyeon-sari-20-1xl4i-966.webp) *Korean beef brisket haejangguk (19,000)* While I was eating, takeout customers kept coming in — definitely a Songjeong favorite~ haha ![Sign listing ingredient origins at Boksan Haejang](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-songjeong-haejangguk-somyeon-sari/ulsan-songjeong-haejangguk-somyeon-sari-21-16btb-966.webp) *Ingredient origin sign* All domestic ingredients~ nice, good stuff! ![Restroom at Boksan Haejang](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-songjeong-haejangguk-somyeon-sari/ulsan-songjeong-haejangguk-somyeon-sari-22-ek2a9-966.webp) *Restroom* ![Area near the entrance of Boksan Haejang](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-songjeong-haejangguk-somyeon-sari/ulsan-songjeong-haejangguk-somyeon-sari-23-aaqj2-966.webp) (patting my belly) Heading outside~ ![Walking path near Boksan Haejang in Songjeong-dong](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-songjeong-haejangguk-somyeon-sari/ulsan-songjeong-haejangguk-somyeon-sari-24-u5su6-966.webp) There's a nice walking path nearby, so I went to walk off the meal before heading to Costco~ ## In short: go early for lunch at Boksan Haejang A satisfying, wallet-friendly meal that fills you right up — I recommend Boksan Haejangguk as a hangover soup spot in Buk-gu, Ulsan!
