I stopped by for lunch after swimming in Aewol. ![Exterior view of Handam Guksu Gwakji Aewol Branch in Aewol](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanburgdam-noodles-aewol-pork-noodle-lunch/hanburgdam-noodles-aewol-pork-noodle-lunch-01-ycm8z-900.webp) If you're in Jeju, you've got to eat gogi-guksu — so after swimming in Aewol, I headed to Handam Guksu for lunch! There are tons of great gogi-guksu spots in Aewol, but I loved that this one is right by Handam Beach, so you can eat and watch the ocean at the same time. ![Entrance to Handam Guksu near Handam Beach](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanburgdam-noodles-aewol-pork-noodle-lunch/hanburgdam-noodles-aewol-pork-noodle-lunch-02-9n4jn-900.webp) ![Menu board at Handam Guksu Gwakji Aewol Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanburgdam-noodles-aewol-pork-noodle-lunch/hanburgdam-noodles-aewol-pork-noodle-lunch-03-3g35w-900.webp) ![Menu listing pork noodle soup and side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanburgdam-noodles-aewol-pork-noodle-lunch/hanburgdam-noodles-aewol-pork-noodle-lunch-04-2vq3e-900.webp) ## Handam Guksu menu: what else is there besides pork noodle soup? Handam Guksu is famous for pork noodles in Aewol, but it also has dongchimi (watery radish kimchi) bibim noodles, mala pork noodles, and lean pork rice soup, plus a wide range of side dishes like dombe naengsuyuk, homemade pork tteokgalbi, and pork mandu. If you're visiting with a group, picking a variety of dishes to share would be great! ![Self-serve side dish bar at Handam Guksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanburgdam-noodles-aewol-pork-noodle-lunch/hanburgdam-noodles-aewol-pork-noodle-lunch-05-1ue7z-900.webp) ![Side dish bowls prepared at the self-serve bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanburgdam-noodles-aewol-pork-noodle-lunch/hanburgdam-noodles-aewol-pork-noodle-lunch-06-pffyq-900.webp) Banchan (side dishes) come from a self-serve bar, neatly laid out and looking delicious enough to get me excited before the noodles even arrived, haha. ![Dining hall with many tables at Handam Guksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanburgdam-noodles-aewol-pork-noodle-lunch/hanburgdam-noodles-aewol-pork-noodle-lunch-07-yc6uk-900.webp) ## Families, tourists and solo diners even at off-peak hours There were plenty of tables, but even though I visited past the usual lunch rush, people kept coming and going — families, tourists traveling around Jeju, and what looked like locals eating solo. Seeing that mix confirmed this is genuinely a local favorite and a top pork noodle spot in Aewol. ![View of customers coming and going inside Handam Guksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanburgdam-noodles-aewol-pork-noodle-lunch/hanburgdam-noodles-aewol-pork-noodle-lunch-08-x732p-900.webp) ![Window seating at Handam Guksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanburgdam-noodles-aewol-pork-noodle-lunch/hanburgdam-noodles-aewol-pork-noodle-lunch-09-lzrr7-900.webp) ## Handam Beach ocean view through the floor-to-ceiling windows And here's the part I personally loved — a big picture window opens right onto Handam Beach, so I could enjoy the ocean while eating. If you want to have lunch with a sea view in Aewol, this kind of ocean-view restaurant is a great choice. ![Handam Beach view through the floor-to-ceiling window](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanburgdam-noodles-aewol-pork-noodle-lunch/hanburgdam-noodles-aewol-pork-noodle-lunch-10-7mxip-900.webp) ![Ocean-view window seating at Handam Guksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanburgdam-noodles-aewol-pork-noodle-lunch/hanburgdam-noodles-aewol-pork-noodle-lunch-11-1ducq-900.webp) ## Two bone-broth pork noodle soups plus tteokgalbi for 30,000 won We ordered two bone-broth pork noodle soups and the homemade pork tteokgalbi. It looked incredibly generous from the start — ₩30,000 total, but the portions were way bigger than I expected, so it felt like great value. ![Table spread with two bowls of bone-broth pork noodle soup and homemade pork tteokgalbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanburgdam-noodles-aewol-pork-noodle-lunch/hanburgdam-noodles-aewol-pork-noodle-lunch-12-1o7bm-900.webp) Seriously, the portion was so big it felt like it never went down no matter how much I ate, haha. There's even a large-size option — I can't imagine how much that would be! Getting this much delicious pork noodle soup for ten thousand won is honestly amazing. ![A generous bowl of Handam Guksu's bone-broth pork noodle soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanburgdam-noodles-aewol-pork-noodle-lunch/hanburgdam-noodles-aewol-pork-noodle-lunch-13-gfqxq-1200.webp) ### How the bone broth and noodles taste at Handam Guksu The bone-broth pork noodle soup came with a milky broth loaded with noodles and meat. The broth was rich but not overly greasy, and the noodles were soft and went down easily. ![Close-up of the milky bone broth pork noodle soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanburgdam-noodles-aewol-pork-noodle-lunch/hanburgdam-noodles-aewol-pork-noodle-lunch-14-1fm2g-900.webp) ![Noodles and meat lifted from the pork noodle soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanburgdam-noodles-aewol-pork-noodle-lunch/hanburgdam-noodles-aewol-pork-noodle-lunch-15-1sesd-900.webp) Above all, there was plenty of meat, which paired nicely with the noodles. I'd just come from swimming in Aewol, so I was hungry and a little worn out — eating warm broth with noodles and meat felt like a proper, filling meal! If you're looking for a simple but hearty lunch while traveling around Jeju, pork noodle soup is hard to beat. ![Meat topping eaten together with the noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanburgdam-noodles-aewol-pork-noodle-lunch/hanburgdam-noodles-aewol-pork-noodle-lunch-16-1ud5r-900.webp) ### Why the homemade pork tteokgalbi is worth adding The homemade pork tteokgalbi (grilled pork patties) we ordered alongside exceeded expectations too. The sweet-savory seasoning was the kind that grabs your appetite, and it was tender enough to pop one in between bites of noodles. I'd briefly considered just ordering noodles, but I'd have regretted skipping this, haha. ![Homemade pork tteokgalbi at Handam Guksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanburgdam-noodles-aewol-pork-noodle-lunch/hanburgdam-noodles-aewol-pork-noodle-lunch-17-1v0a8-900.webp) ![A plate of crisp fresh kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/hanburgdam-noodles-aewol-pork-noodle-lunch/hanburgdam-noodles-aewol-pork-noodle-lunch-18-1bsyo-900.webp) ### The fresh-cut geotjeori kimchi I think kimchi is really important at any noodle restaurant, and Handam Guksu's geotjeori (fresh cabbage kimchi) suited my taste perfectly too. Crisp with great seasoning, I kept reaching for a bite of kimchi after every bite of noodles — and thanks to that I finished a bowl far bigger than my usual portion! It was the kind of good you want to keep eating even when you're already full. ## Why Handam Guksu fits an Aewol travel route If you're looking for a hearty lunch spot in Aewol after swimming or playing in the water, or a good pork noodle restaurant near Handam Beach, I'd recommend Handam Guksu! Generous portions, great taste, and an ocean view — it was a really good stop for a meal while traveling around Jeju. It's especially convenient if your itinerary includes Handam Beach or Gwakji, since you can take in the sea view and enjoy delicious pork noodles all in one stop. Next time I'm in Jeju, I'd love to come back here! ## Where it is - Handam Guksu Gwakji Aewol Branch (한담국수 곽지애월점) - 33 Aewol-ro, Aewol-eup, Jeju-si, Jeju Special Self-Governing Province, South Korea, 1F - 제주특별자치도 제주시 애월읍 애월로 33 1층 - 33.4618312, 126.3120404 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%95%9C%EB%8B%B4%EA%B5%AD%EC%88%98%20%EA%B3%BD%EC%A7%80%EC%95%A0%EC%9B%94%EC%A0%90/@33.4618312,126.3120404,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@island-cup-hours/hanburgdam-noodles-aewol-pork-noodle-lunch/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
