It's open daily from 09:00 to 21:00, last order 20:10, and there's a wide dedicated parking lot right in front. I was looking for something warm and filling in Pyeongtaek and ended up at Songdam Kalguksu. I'd assumed it only served kalguksu (knife-cut noodle soup), but it turns out they also have shabu-shabu with clams, beef, and octopus. We ordered the clam shabu-shabu and added octopus and beef on top, so we ended up with a really generous spread. ## Songdam Kalguksu exterior and parking: is it easy to reach by car? Songdam Kalguksu sits right along Gangbyeon-ro, so it was easy to get to by car. There's a spacious dedicated lot out front, so parking wasn't a worry at all. ![Exterior of Songdam Kalguksu along Gangbyeon-ro](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeongtaek-anjung-baekhap-shabu-songdam/pyeongtaek-anjung-baekhap-shabu-songdam-02-16tuq-966.webp) The building was bigger than I expected, and the open surroundings gave it a relaxed feel. It seemed like a great spot for a family meal or a get-together with a group. ## Inside Songdam Kalguksu: are the seats roomy enough for groups? Inside, Songdam Kalguksu has plenty of tables with generous spacing between them, so it never felt cramped. It looked like a solid choice for both family outings and larger group meals. ![Spacious interior entrance area of Songdam Kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeongtaek-anjung-baekhap-shabu-songdam/pyeongtaek-anjung-baekhap-shabu-songdam-03-1n2kd-966.webp) ![Interior aisle and tables at Songdam Kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeongtaek-anjung-baekhap-shabu-songdam/pyeongtaek-anjung-baekhap-shabu-songdam-04-coon1-966.webp) Walking in, the interior was just as spacious as the exterior suggested. ![Spaced-out seating at Songdam Kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeongtaek-anjung-baekhap-shabu-songdam/pyeongtaek-anjung-baekhap-shabu-songdam-05-5fkhl-m-966.webp) ![Overview of the dining hall at Songdam Kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeongtaek-anjung-baekhap-shabu-songdam/pyeongtaek-anjung-baekhap-shabu-songdam-06-1oery-966.webp) Overall it was clean and pleasant, and with so much space, it felt comfortable even with a lot of customers around. The staff were attentive too, from taking our order to checking in throughout the meal, which made the whole visit pleasant. ## Songdam Kalguksu menu and prices, including weekday-only shabu-shabu Songdam Kalguksu's menu ranges from ₩8,000 hot pot kalguksu to ₩11,000 weekday-only shabu-shabu, plus kongguksu (cold soybean noodle soup) and red bean kalguksu.

We ordered the fresh clam shabu-shabu. It comes standard with two types of kimchi, vegetables, and two gullim mandu (rolled dumplings) per person. ![Basic clam shabu-shabu spread and side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeongtaek-anjung-baekhap-shabu-songdam/pyeongtaek-anjung-baekhap-shabu-songdam-08-efwgh-966.webp) ![Two types of kimchi and a plate of vegetables](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeongtaek-anjung-baekhap-shabu-songdam/pyeongtaek-anjung-baekhap-shabu-songdam-09-lzpe0-966.webp) ![Two rolled dumplings served per person](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeongtaek-anjung-baekhap-shabu-songdam/pyeongtaek-anjung-baekhap-shabu-songdam-10-15jda-966.webp) ![Broth pot with added octopus and beef ingredients](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeongtaek-anjung-baekhap-shabu-songdam/pyeongtaek-anjung-baekhap-shabu-songdam-11-1epvq-966.webp) Clams alone are great, but adding octopus and beef makes the spread much richer, giving you seafood and meat all at once! Broth and vegetables were set up at the table, and we cooked things in order — clams first, then octopus, then beef. ### Tasting the fresh clam shabu-shabu broth ![Fresh clams simmering in the broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeongtaek-anjung-baekhap-shabu-songdam/pyeongtaek-anjung-baekhap-shabu-songdam-12-1u9y3-966.webp) As the clams simmered in the broth, their briny sweetness came through and the broth deepened. The clams themselves had a nice plump bite that paired well with the soup. If you like clean, refreshing broth, the basic clam shabu-shabu alone would be satisfying. ### Adding octopus and beef to the pot ![A plate of added octopus](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeongtaek-anjung-baekhap-shabu-songdam/pyeongtaek-anjung-baekhap-shabu-songdam-13-6mwi8-966.webp) ![Octopus cooking in the broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeongtaek-anjung-baekhap-shabu-songdam/pyeongtaek-anjung-baekhap-shabu-songdam-14-rihp0-966.webp) Adding octopus made the seafood flavor deeper and gave more texture to chew on. If you cook it too long it can get tough, so it's best to pull it out as soon as it's just cooked. ![Beef briefly dipped into the boiling broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeongtaek-anjung-baekhap-shabu-songdam/pyeongtaek-anjung-baekhap-shabu-songdam-15-1rouo-966.webp) We cooked the beef by dipping it briefly in the boiling broth, and it came out tender and savory. Where the broth started out light and refreshing thanks to the clams and octopus, once the beef went in it turned richer and fuller. Every time we added a new ingredient, the broth's flavor shifted, so it never got boring to the end. ## House-made kalguksu noodles flecked with green What stuck with me most at Songdam Kalguksu was the hand-cut kalguksu noodles we added at the end. Looking closely, unlike typical plain white noodles, these had green vegetable-looking bits pressed right into them. ![Hand-cut kalguksu noodles flecked with green ingredients](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeongtaek-anjung-baekhap-shabu-songdam/pyeongtaek-anjung-baekhap-shabu-songdam-16-fhid8-966.webp) Being handmade noodles, they had a soft yet nicely chewy texture. ![Kalguksu noodles cooked in the deepened broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeongtaek-anjung-baekhap-shabu-songdam/pyeongtaek-anjung-baekhap-shabu-songdam-17-fu3hi-966.webp) Once the noodles went into the broth — now deepened from the clams, octopus, and beef — the soup soaked in beautifully and it was genuinely delicious. Even after filling up on shabu-shabu, it felt like a waste to leave any of the noodles behind. ![Corn bread served at every table](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeongtaek-anjung-baekhap-shabu-songdam/pyeongtaek-anjung-baekhap-shabu-songdam-18-ndp7a-966.webp) Every table also gets corn bread. I notice it every time I come — the soft, fluffy corn bread here is genuinely good! ## Is Songdam Kalguksu worth a visit? Final verdict ![Table at Songdam Kalguksu after finishing the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeongtaek-anjung-baekhap-shabu-songdam/pyeongtaek-anjung-baekhap-shabu-songdam-19-d463x-966.webp) ![Final shot of the clam shabu-shabu meal at Songdam Kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeongtaek-anjung-baekhap-shabu-songdam/pyeongtaek-anjung-baekhap-shabu-songdam-20-1g0h9-966.webp) If you're looking for a great spot in Anjung, Pyeongtaek, I'd recommend Songdam Kalguksu for its generous lineup of clams, octopus, beef, and kalguksu. The space was spacious and pleasant, and the staff were kind throughout, making for a comfortable meal from start to finish. The hand-cut kalguksu with green bits especially stood out, with the noodles and broth coming together perfectly right to the last bite. With plenty of parking too, it's a great Anjung, Pyeongtaek restaurant to visit for a family meal or a group get-together. ## Where it is - Songdam Kalguksu (송담칼국수) - 129 Gangbyeon-ro, Anjung-eup, Pyeongtaek-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - 경기도 평택시 안중읍 강변로 129 - 36.9820427, 126.9431086 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%86%A1%EB%8B%B4%EC%B9%BC%EA%B5%AD%EC%88%98/@36.9820427,126.9431086,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@hwaseong-evening-ladle/pyeongtaek-anjung-baekhap-shabu-songdam/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
