Gimhae clam kalguksu with covered self-serve bar: Seosan Dongjuk
Seosan Dongjuk Kalguksu is a clam kalguksu (noodle soup) restaurant on Deokjeong-ro 201beon-gil in Gimhae, Gyeongnam. Over two bowls of dongjuk kalguksu and a ₩15,000 onaksae seafood pancake, the just-right spicy house kimchi, a fully lidded self-serve bar, and fresh clams that popped open at a touch of chopsticks stood out. The broth's finish felt a touch mild, but a handful of cheongyang chili fixed that, and the whole meal was good enough to make this the go-to kalguksu spot from now on.
