# Guwol-dong Korean restaurant B-set: mushroom kalguksu, fried squid - By Jina Roh (https://superchart.com/en/@incheon-pier-table/) - Written Sep 18, 2026 - Local places › Restaurants › Namdong, Incheon - Sponsored: This post was written as a sponsored in-store visit. - English edition: https://superchart.com/en/@incheon-pier-table/guwol-dong-galbijjim-mushroom-kalguksu-set/ - Also in: [한국어](https://superchart.com/ko/@incheon-pier-table/guwol-dong-galbijjim-mushroom-kalguksu-set/index.md) ## In short Haemokjeong Guwol Branch is a braised-rib and kalguksu restaurant on the second floor of a building near Yesulhoegwan in Guwol-dong, Namdong-gu, Incheon. Two diners ordered the Haemokjeong B-set at the regular spice level — spicy braised pork ribs, mushroom kalguksu (knife-cut noodle soup) and fried squid — and the rib meat pulled apart with chopsticks, while the fried squid was best dipped in the rib braising sauce. One B-set is enough to leave two people full. ## Good to know - **Location**: Unit 206, 2nd floor, 15 Seongmal-ro 13beon-gil, Namdong-gu, Incheon (near Yesulhoegwan, 2nd floor of the Out Dak building) - **Hours**: Sun, Tue, Wed, Thu 11:00–22:00 / Fri, Sat 11:00–23:00 - **Closed**: Mondays - **Ordered**: Haemokjeong B-set (spicy braised pork ribs, mushroom kalguksu, fried squid) - **Spice level**: Choice of spice levels; regular chosen - **Seating**: Window seat set up with a Naver reservation - **Extras**: Fried shrimp or a drink for joining the review event; squid seaweed soup on birthday visits *as written by the visitor on Sep 18, 2026* Today I went to a braised ribs restaurant in Guwol-dong. My boyfriend loves braised ribs and I love mushroom kalguksu (knife-cut noodle soup), so being able to enjoy both at Haemokjeong made me pretty happy. The set menu composition was especially good for the two of us to eat a generous meal together. ## Where is Haemokjeong Guwol Branch, and what are its hours? Haemokjeong Guwol Branch is located at 2nd floor, unit 206, 15 Seongmal-ro 13beon-gil, Namdong-gu, Incheon, South Korea. Hours are Sun/Tue/Wed/Thu 11:00-22:00, Fri/Sat 11:00-23:00, closed on Mondays. ![Front view of the building housing Haemokjeong Guwol Branch in Guwol-dong](https://img.superchart.com/images/guwol-dong-galbijjim-mushroom-kalguksu-set/guwol-dong-galbijjim-mushroom-kalguksu-set-01-ad5cw-900.webp) I arrived in front of Haemokjeong, the braised ribs spot in Guwol-dong. It's close to the Yesulhoegwan side, so it's a convenient location if you're eating in Guwol-dong. ![Entrance leading up to Haemokjeong on the building's 2nd floor](https://img.superchart.com/images/guwol-dong-galbijjim-mushroom-kalguksu-set/guwol-dong-galbijjim-mushroom-kalguksu-set-02-19zg9-900.webp) Haemokjeong is on the 2nd floor of the building, so you take the elevator or stairs up. It's near Out Dak, so it wasn't too hard to find. ## Inside Haemokjeong: the window seat by reservation I stepped inside. As you'd expect from a place that just opened recently, it was clean and pleasant overall. The tables weren't cramped together, and the staff were really friendly throughout the meal, which made for a nice experience. I booked through Naver Reservation, so they had a window seat set up for me in advance. Being by the window made it feel less closed in and comfortable to eat. ![Interior and tables of Haemokjeong Guwol Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/guwol-dong-galbijjim-mushroom-kalguksu-set/guwol-dong-galbijjim-mushroom-kalguksu-set-03-1pm5l-900.webp) ![Window seat set up via Naver Reservation](https://img.superchart.com/images/guwol-dong-galbijjim-mushroom-kalguksu-set/guwol-dong-galbijjim-mushroom-kalguksu-set-04-gqsbp-900.webp) ![Clean seating layout inside Haemokjeong's dining hall](https://img.superchart.com/images/guwol-dong-galbijjim-mushroom-kalguksu-set/guwol-dong-galbijjim-mushroom-kalguksu-set-05-1xkcg-900.webp) ![Interior atmosphere of Haemokjeong Guwol Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/guwol-dong-galbijjim-mushroom-kalguksu-set/guwol-dong-galbijjim-mushroom-kalguksu-set-06-1ewgc-900.webp) ![View of the restaurant from the window-side table](https://img.superchart.com/images/guwol-dong-galbijjim-mushroom-kalguksu-set/guwol-dong-galbijjim-mushroom-kalguksu-set-07-aukla-m-900.webp) ![Table setting at Haemokjeong](https://img.superchart.com/images/guwol-dong-galbijjim-mushroom-kalguksu-set/guwol-dong-galbijjim-mushroom-kalguksu-set-08-6j8rr-900.webp) ![Seating and walkway inside Haemokjeong Guwol Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/guwol-dong-galbijjim-mushroom-kalguksu-set/guwol-dong-galbijjim-mushroom-kalguksu-set-09-1lz5k-900.webp) ![Spacious table layout at Haemokjeong](https://img.superchart.com/images/guwol-dong-galbijjim-mushroom-kalguksu-set/guwol-dong-galbijjim-mushroom-kalguksu-set-10-mmey9-900.webp) ## What comes in the Haemokjeong B-set? I've attached the menu. I ordered the Haemokjeong B-set without hesitation. It's made up of spicy braised pork ribs, mushroom kalguksu, and fried squid, so I got to try everything from the main dish to the sides. ![Menu page listing Haemokjeong's set menus](https://img.superchart.com/images/guwol-dong-galbijjim-mushroom-kalguksu-set/guwol-dong-galbijjim-mushroom-kalguksu-set-11-1je1w-900.webp) ![Menu page for spicy braised pork ribs and kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/guwol-dong-galbijjim-mushroom-kalguksu-set/guwol-dong-galbijjim-mushroom-kalguksu-set-12-1fdmm-900.webp) Just a note — if you join their review event they'll give you fried shrimp or a drink as a service, and if you visit on your birthday they give you squid seaweed soup. ![Sign about the review event and birthday seaweed soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/guwol-dong-galbijjim-mushroom-kalguksu-set/guwol-dong-galbijjim-mushroom-kalguksu-set-13-1cx3k-m-900.webp) The table also had a guide for how to best enjoy Haemokjeong. You could choose your spice level, and I went with regular to be safe. ![Table sign explaining how to best enjoy the food at Haemokjeong](https://img.superchart.com/images/guwol-dong-galbijjim-mushroom-kalguksu-set/guwol-dong-galbijjim-mushroom-kalguksu-set-14-6wpzd-900.webp) Each table also had spicy chili flakes ready to go, so if you feel it's not spicy enough as you eat, you can add more to taste. ### Side dishes served with the B-set The banchan (side dishes) were cellophane noodle salad, perilla leaves, braised potatoes, chive salad, white kimchi, and pickled chili peppers. They were mostly picks that pair well with braised ribs, cleansing the palate in between bites. ![Banchan spread including cellophane noodle salad and perilla leaves](https://img.superchart.com/images/guwol-dong-galbijjim-mushroom-kalguksu-set/guwol-dong-galbijjim-mushroom-kalguksu-set-15-1p4mk-900.webp) ![Table fully set with the Haemokjeong B-set](https://img.superchart.com/images/guwol-dong-galbijjim-mushroom-kalguksu-set/guwol-dong-galbijjim-mushroom-kalguksu-set-16-1k035-1200.webp) The food we'd been waiting for arrived~ Since we ordered the set menu, the table was completely full, and it looked generous just to look at haha. ![Pot of mushroom kalguksu served first](https://img.superchart.com/images/guwol-dong-galbijjim-mushroom-kalguksu-set/guwol-dong-galbijjim-mushroom-kalguksu-set-17-mqbck-900.webp) ![Kalguksu broth with mushrooms and minari](https://img.superchart.com/images/guwol-dong-galbijjim-mushroom-kalguksu-set/guwol-dong-galbijjim-mushroom-kalguksu-set-18-6g0pe-900.webp) ## Mushroom kalguksu: ready after the 2-minute timer Haemokjeong's mushroom kalguksu comes out first, and the staff explained you should eat it once the timer rings after 2 minutes. When the timer rang, I tried it right away and the broth was spicy-tangy and piping hot. There was plenty of mushroom and minari (water dropwort) in it, so slurping it up with the noodles gave a nice texture too. The broth wasn't heavy or overpowering — it was clean yet spicy-tangy, the kind of flavor that keeps you coming back for more. It also went well as a sip in between bites of the braised ribs. ## How spicy are the braised pork ribs at regular level? Haemokjeong's spicy braised pork ribs at the regular spice level were about as spicy as Shin Ramyun. The braised ribs were loaded with mushrooms, onion, cabbage, rice cakes, and minari, so there was plenty to eat alongside the meat. ![A plate of regular-spice spicy braised pork ribs](https://img.superchart.com/images/guwol-dong-galbijjim-mushroom-kalguksu-set/guwol-dong-galbijjim-mushroom-kalguksu-set-19-3903h-900.webp) ![Braised pork ribs topped with cabbage and minari](https://img.superchart.com/images/guwol-dong-galbijjim-mushroom-kalguksu-set/guwol-dong-galbijjim-mushroom-kalguksu-set-20-1kmsf-900.webp) ![Rib meat easily pulled apart with chopsticks](https://img.superchart.com/images/guwol-dong-galbijjim-mushroom-kalguksu-set/guwol-dong-galbijjim-mushroom-kalguksu-set-21-1rqtg-900.webp) I first tried it without adding anything, and at the regular level it was about as spicy as Shin Ramyun, so it wasn't too much and was easy to eat. It seemed like a good level even for people who like spicy food but find really spicy dishes overwhelming. I also liked that the rib meat wasn't tough at all — it came apart easily with chopsticks, making it easy to eat. It also tasted good with the vegetables mixed in, and following the table's suggestion, I tried it with the cellophane noodle salad and perilla leaves together, which paired quite well with the spicy braised ribs. The crunchy texture and perilla fragrance made for a slightly different way to enjoy it. ![Rice cake soaked in the braised ribs sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/guwol-dong-galbijjim-mushroom-kalguksu-set/guwol-dong-galbijjim-mushroom-kalguksu-set-22-1p6kj-900.webp) Personally, the rice cakes were my favorite. They were deeply soaked in the braising sauce and had a subtle smoky flavor, so much so that I wanted to order more rice cakes on their own. ![Fried squid cut into easy-to-eat pieces](https://img.superchart.com/images/guwol-dong-galbijjim-mushroom-kalguksu-set/guwol-dong-galbijjim-mushroom-kalguksu-set-23-gtzyq-900.webp) ## Fried squid tastes better in the rib sauce than soy sauce Haemokjeong's fried squid came cut into pieces that were easy to eat one at a time. It didn't feel like a mass-produced item — it looked more like freshly hand-fried squid, which made it look even more appetizing. Dipped in soy sauce, the outside was warm and crispy while the squid inside was tender rather than chewy. I'd read reviews saying it's delicious dipped in the braised ribs sauce, so I tried that too, and honestly, this combo was really delicious. The spicy-sweet braising sauce paired so well with the crispy fried squid that I ended up dipping it in the sauce more often than the soy sauce haha. ![Fried squid dipped in the braised ribs sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/guwol-dong-galbijjim-mushroom-kalguksu-set/guwol-dong-galbijjim-mushroom-kalguksu-set-24-1g91d-900.webp) ## Is one B-set enough for two? Final verdict At Haemokjeong, the braised ribs restaurant in Guwol-dong, I got to try everything from the spicy braised pork ribs to the mushroom kalguksu to the fried squid. Ordering just one set menu for two of us gave a varied and generous amount of food, so we left full. If you're looking for a good restaurant in Guwol-dong, this place is worth a visit. ## Where it is - Haemokjeong Guwol Branch (해목정 구월점) - 15 Seongmal-ro 13beon-gil, 2nd floor unit 206, Namdong-gu, Incheon, South Korea - 인천광역시 남동구 성말로13번길 15 2층 206호 - 37.4462791, 126.7018166 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%95%B4%EB%AA%A9%EC%A0%95%20%EA%B5%AC%EC%9B%94%EC%A0%90/@37.4462791,126.7018166,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@incheon-pier-table/guwol-dong-galbijjim-mushroom-kalguksu-set/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
