After a dermatology appointment across the street, the writer and her husband ordered two bowls of sundaeguk at 10,000 won each and one suyuk at 20,000 won, helped themselves to the self-bar side dishes, and finished every bite. At Gukdam Sundaeguk, the clean, clear broth and the suyuk dipped in barley ssamjang were the combination worth remembering. ## Good to know - **Sundaeguk**: 10,000 won - **Suyuk**: 20,000 won - **New menu items**: Gopchang jeongol (tripe hot pot), gopchang gui (grilled tripe) - **Hours**: 10:00 AM–10:00 PM (last order 9:30 PM) - **Closed**: Every Sunday - **Chuseok holiday notice**: Closed on the 24th; open as usual on the 25th and 26th - **Parking**: On weekends, park in front of Sangincheon Elementary School - **Service**: A taster portion of sundae or one canned drink for a receipt review - **Price reference**: ₩20,000 ≈ $15 · ₩10,000 ≈ $7.4 (2026-09-15) *as written by the visitor on Sep 14, 2026* ## Lunch for two across from the Gansuk-dong dermatology clinic Gukdam Sundaeguk Main Branch is a Korean restaurant in Gansuk-dong, Incheon, where you can get sundaeguk (blood sausage soup) and suyuk (boiled pork), and it was close enough that I could just cross the street from the dermatology clinic. I've actually been going to a dermatology clinic in Gansuk-dong, Incheon for about three years now haha. I go in regularly for acne and freckle treatments, and this time I visited with my husband and we stopped by Gukdam Sundaeguk Main Branch for lunch afterward. ![Exterior view of Gukdam Sundaeguk Main Branch in Gansuk-dong](https://img.superchart.com/images/gukdam-sundaeguk-gangseok-suyuk-lunch/gukdam-sundaeguk-gangseok-suyuk-lunch-01-csmfe-900.webp) It was such a good location — literally just across the street from the clinic I go to! The clinic parking lot happened to be full, so I told my husband to head over to the restaurant area first. Since it was the weekend, there was space to park near Sangincheon Elementary School, so we parked comfortably and went in. ## Gukdam Sundaeguk menu: sundaeguk, suyuk, gopchang jeongol ![Menu board outside Gukdam Sundaeguk Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/gukdam-sundaeguk-gangseok-suyuk-lunch/gukdam-sundaeguk-gangseok-suyuk-lunch-02-crkkd-900.webp) Gukdam Sundaeguk Main Branch is a place in Gansuk-dong where you can get sundaeguk as well as suyuk, gopchang jeongol (tripe hot pot), and gopchang gui (grilled tripe). There was a menu board set up outside the restaurant, so we could check the menu and prices before even going in. ![Notice for the new gopchang jeongol and gopchang gui menu items](https://img.superchart.com/images/gukdam-sundaeguk-gangseok-suyuk-lunch/gukdam-sundaeguk-gangseok-suyuk-lunch-03-1a41n-900.webp) I noticed gopchang jeongol and gopchang gui were being sold as new menu items too. I'd love to try the gopchang jeongol next time haha. If you're looking for a good gukbap (soup rice) spot in Gansuk-dong, this place is great, and it also seemed like a solid choice for a group to come have gopchang jeongol with drinks. ## Gukdam Sundaeguk hours and closing days ![Notice of Gukdam Sundaeguk Main Branch's business hours and closed days](https://img.superchart.com/images/gukdam-sundaeguk-gangseok-suyuk-lunch/gukdam-sundaeguk-gangseok-suyuk-lunch-04-vga2g-900.webp) Gukdam Sundaeguk Main Branch is open from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM, with last order at 9:30 PM. Closed every Sunday. When we visited, there was also a notice posted about Chuseok holiday hours. This Chuseok, they're closed only on the 24th, and open as usual on the 25th and 26th. Good to know if you're planning to visit over the holiday! ## What the Gukdam Sundaeguk dining room is like The first thing I noticed walking in was how clean the place was. The spoons and chopsticks were individually wrapped a second time, which felt very hygienic. ![Table set with individually wrapped spoons and chopsticks](https://img.superchart.com/images/gukdam-sundaeguk-gangseok-suyuk-lunch/gukdam-sundaeguk-gangseok-suyuk-lunch-05-rvq7o-845.webp) Every table had a table-order tablet, which made it easy to sit down, look over the menu at our own pace, and order. ![Table-order tablet installed on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/gukdam-sundaeguk-gangseok-suyuk-lunch/gukdam-sundaeguk-gangseok-suyuk-lunch-06-1vz4q-900.webp) ![Hair ties and aprons set out inside the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/gukdam-sundaeguk-gangseok-suyuk-lunch/gukdam-sundaeguk-gangseok-suyuk-lunch-07-qwn9z-900.webp) On one side, they even had hair ties and aprons ready for customers. Little touches like that made it feel like they really thought about their guests haha. And the water wasn't just plain — it was heotgae (hovenia) tea water, which I love! ## Free self-bar: how many side dishes can you take? Gukdam Sundaeguk Main Branch has a self-bar, so if you run out of any side dish, you can just go grab as much as you want. ![The self-bar at Gukdam Sundaeguk Main Branch stocked with side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/gukdam-sundaeguk-gangseok-suyuk-lunch/gukdam-sundaeguk-gangseok-suyuk-lunch-08-1s6k3-900.webp) They had house-made kkakdugi (cubed radish kimchi), barley ssamjang, and chili paste, along with dressed chives, cheongyang chili peppers, and dried radish strips. There were so many good side dishes to pair with the sundaeguk or suyuk that we ended up going back and forth a few times haha. ![Children's tableware, salt, and wet wipes at the self-bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/gukdam-sundaeguk-gangseok-suyuk-lunch/gukdam-sundaeguk-gangseok-suyuk-lunch-09-16sry-900.webp) The self-bar wasn't just side dishes either — there were plenty of children's tableware, salt, and wet wipes too. It was convenient not having to ask the staff for every little thing one by one. ## Ordering two sundaeguk and one head meat suyuk ![Two bowls of ordered sundaeguk and suyuk on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/gukdam-sundaeguk-gangseok-suyuk-lunch/gukdam-sundaeguk-gangseok-suyuk-lunch-10-gokox-900.webp) ![Sundaeguk and suyuk set on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/gukdam-sundaeguk-gangseok-suyuk-lunch/gukdam-sundaeguk-gangseok-suyuk-lunch-11-grucj-845.webp) That day we ordered two sundaeguk at ₩10,000 each, and one suyuk at ₩20,000. ![Side dishes including salted shrimp and barley ssamjang](https://img.superchart.com/images/gukdam-sundaeguk-gangseok-suyuk-lunch/gukdam-sundaeguk-gangseok-suyuk-lunch-12-1r6td-900.webp) The side dishes came out first — salted shrimp, barley ssamjang, chili paste, cucumber peppers, kkakdugi, and a seasoned pork skin dish. ![Chewy seasoned pork skin side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/gukdam-sundaeguk-gangseok-suyuk-lunch/gukdam-sundaeguk-gangseok-suyuk-lunch-13-1y8dc-676.webp) My husband especially loved the seasoned pork skin haha. The chewy texture kept his chopsticks coming back for more. ## How clear is the sundaeguk broth at Gukdam? And then the sundaeguk we'd been waiting for arrived! Gukdam's sundaeguk was a bit different from the milky, rich sundaeguk I'm used to. The broth was surprisingly clear — clear enough that it reminded me of galbitang (short rib soup) at first glance. ![Gukdam's clear-broth sundaeguk](https://img.superchart.com/images/gukdam-sundaeguk-gangseok-suyuk-lunch/gukdam-sundaeguk-gangseok-suyuk-lunch-14-1qpok-900.webp) ![Clear sundaeguk broth with visible ingredients](https://img.superchart.com/images/gukdam-sundaeguk-gangseok-suyuk-lunch/gukdam-sundaeguk-gangseok-suyuk-lunch-15-k7lkp-900.webp) At first, I ate the ingredients, broth, and rice separately to enjoy the true flavor. ![Rice poured into the sundaeguk broth, eaten like gukbap](https://img.superchart.com/images/gukdam-sundaeguk-gangseok-suyuk-lunch/gukdam-sundaeguk-gangseok-suyuk-lunch-16-dk6w1-900.webp) After I was about halfway through, I poured the rice into the broth and ate it properly like a gukbap haha. If you like your sundaeguk clean and clear, this one will really suit you. ## Chewy head meat suyuk with barley ssamjang ![A plate of suyuk made from head meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/gukdam-sundaeguk-gangseok-suyuk-lunch/gukdam-sundaeguk-gangseok-suyuk-lunch-17-n76kt-900.webp) They explained that the suyuk we ordered together was made by boiling head meat. It had a similar feel to pyeonyuk (sliced cold meat) but with a chewy texture that stood out. ![Close-up of the chewy head meat suyuk](https://img.superchart.com/images/gukdam-sundaeguk-gangseok-suyuk-lunch/gukdam-sundaeguk-gangseok-suyuk-lunch-18-vtken-900.webp) My husband dipped the suyuk into the barley ssamjang, so I followed suit, and that combination was truly delicious haha. If you get the chance, you have to try suyuk with barley ssamjang! ![A piece of suyuk dipped in barley ssamjang](https://img.superchart.com/images/gukdam-sundaeguk-gangseok-suyuk-lunch/gukdam-sundaeguk-gangseok-suyuk-lunch-19-1h60w-900.webp) ![Suyuk served alongside salted shrimp](https://img.superchart.com/images/gukdam-sundaeguk-gangseok-suyuk-lunch/gukdam-sundaeguk-gangseok-suyuk-lunch-20-13sgg-900.webp) ![A cucumber pepper dipped in barley ssamjang](https://img.superchart.com/images/gukdam-sundaeguk-gangseok-suyuk-lunch/gukdam-sundaeguk-gangseok-suyuk-lunch-21-1ikad-900.webp) It also went well with the dried radish strips and salted shrimp, and dipping a cucumber pepper into the barley ssamjang now and then kept my palate clean. ## A clean plate at Gukdam Sundaeguk again today In the end, we cleaned out everything from the sundaeguk to the suyuk that day too haha. ![Empty bowls after finishing the sundaeguk and suyuk](https://img.superchart.com/images/gukdam-sundaeguk-gangseok-suyuk-lunch/gukdam-sundaeguk-gangseok-suyuk-lunch-22-1r7zc-900.webp) At Gukdam Sundaeguk Main Branch, they said you can get a sample sundae or a canned drink as a service for participating in a receipt review, so check that out if you're interested. ![Notice about the receipt review service](https://img.superchart.com/images/gukdam-sundaeguk-gangseok-suyuk-lunch/gukdam-sundaeguk-gangseok-suyuk-lunch-23-luz94-845.webp) On our way out after the meal, there were even mint candies and dental floss set out for us. ![Mint candies and dental floss set out near the exit](https://img.superchart.com/images/gukdam-sundaeguk-gangseok-suyuk-lunch/gukdam-sundaeguk-gangseok-suyuk-lunch-24-74801-1200.webp) If you're looking for a good gukbap spot in Gansuk-dong where you can have clean-broth sundaeguk and chewy suyuk together, Gukdam Sundaeguk Main Branch is well worth a visit. We're already thinking about going back to try the new gopchang jeongol menu next time haha. ## Where it is - Gukdam Sundaeguk Main Branch (국담순대국 본점) - 8 Namdong-daero 897beon-gil, 1st Floor, Unit 101, Namdong-gu, Incheon, South Korea - 인천광역시 남동구 남동대로897번길 8 1층 101호 - 37.4626001, 126.7076045 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EA%B5%AD%EB%8B%B4%EC%88%9C%EB%8C%80%EA%B5%AD%20%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@37.4626001,126.7076045,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@how-meals-went/gukdam-sundaeguk-gangseok-suyuk-lunch/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
