Visiting on a weekday at noon, the writer tried Boksan Haejangguk (₩11,000), Haejang Kalguksu (₩13,000) and somyeon noodle add-on (₩1,000), finding a deep broth simmered from pork bone, seafood and vegetables with generous meat. The restaurant only opens 11:00–14:30, so it's worth rushing there before the lunch peak. ## Good to know - **Address**: 8 Songjeong29-gil, 1st floor, Buk-gu, Ulsan, South Korea (Songjeong-dong 1185-1, near Goheon Middle School) - **Hours**: 11:00–14:30 (last order 14:00) - **Closed**: Every Monday - **Boksan Haejangguk**: ₩11,000 - **Haejang Kalguksu**: ₩13,000 - **Somyeon noodle add-on**: ₩1,000 - **Amenities**: Wi-Fi, takeout, reservations, groups, high chairs available - **Corkage**: Free, no limit on drinks or bottles *as written by the visitor on Sep 8, 2026* Today's post is a review of Boksan Haejang (복산해장), a gukbap (rice and soup) and haejangguk (hangover soup) specialist that's become word-of-mouth famous for its deep broth in the Songjeong district new town of Buk-gu, Ulsan.

By the time we finished eating, a waiting line had formed — proof of just how popular this Korean restaurant is as a go-to spot in Buk-gu, Ulsan. ![Boksan Haejang's dining hall packed with weekday lunch guests](https://img.superchart.com/images/boksan-haejang-songjeong-ulsan-lunch/boksan-haejang-songjeong-ulsan-lunch-06-8uyl9-900.webp) ![Restaurant crowded with diners eating lunch](https://img.superchart.com/images/boksan-haejang-songjeong-ulsan-lunch/boksan-haejang-songjeong-ulsan-lunch-07-nh8te-900.webp) ♧ A trustworthy direct-sourcing meat system: Boksan Haejang sources its meat directly through its own affiliated businesses, Boksan Meat, Boksan Yukgwan, and Boksan Donkkaseu, which lets them serve generous portions of good-quality meat at reasonable prices. ![Sign explaining Boksan Haejang's direct meat-sourcing system](https://img.superchart.com/images/boksan-haejang-songjeong-ulsan-lunch/boksan-haejang-songjeong-ulsan-lunch-08-kv04h-900.webp) ## What we ordered — an honest taste review ![Table spread of ordered dishes at Boksan Haejang](https://img.superchart.com/images/boksan-haejang-songjeong-ulsan-lunch/boksan-haejang-songjeong-ulsan-lunch-09-1a8sb-900.webp) The basic side dishes — three of them — are neatly laid out: kkakdugi (cubed radish kimchi), pickled onion, and pickled radish salad, all of which pair perfectly with gukbap. ![Three side dishes: kkakdugi, pickled onion, pickled radish salad](https://img.superchart.com/images/boksan-haejang-songjeong-ulsan-lunch/boksan-haejang-songjeong-ulsan-lunch-10-qdx61-900.webp) ![Basic side dish plate served with gukbap](https://img.superchart.com/images/boksan-haejang-songjeong-ulsan-lunch/boksan-haejang-songjeong-ulsan-lunch-11-1muzl-900.webp) ### Boksan Haejangguk (₩11,000) The signature dish, served piping hot in a stone pot with real care. ![Boksan Haejangguk served bubbling in a stone pot](https://img.superchart.com/images/boksan-haejang-songjeong-ulsan-lunch/boksan-haejang-songjeong-ulsan-lunch-12-13zub-900.webp) ![Close-up of the Boksan Haejangguk stone pot](https://img.superchart.com/images/boksan-haejang-songjeong-ulsan-lunch/boksan-haejang-songjeong-ulsan-lunch-13-ut5nu-900.webp) Thanks to a broth base harmoniously simmered from pork bone, seafood, and various vegetables, the soup is deep and clean yet has a distinct savory richness that's excellent. Maybe because of that direct-sourcing system, the stone pot is loaded with a generous, satisfying amount of meat, and the broth is genuinely the real deal — the kind that will make anyone hunting for a haejangguk restaurant in Buk-gu, Ulsan let out an involuntary sigh of satisfaction! ![Generous meat inside the haejangguk](https://img.superchart.com/images/boksan-haejang-songjeong-ulsan-lunch/boksan-haejang-songjeong-ulsan-lunch-14-1kbzq-900.webp) ![A spoonful of rich broth and meat lifted up](https://img.superchart.com/images/boksan-haejang-songjeong-ulsan-lunch/boksan-haejang-songjeong-ulsan-lunch-15-xqkh9-900.webp) ### Somyeon noodle add-on (₩1,000) Add the noodle sarikeo (extra noodle serving) and they generously fill an entire bowl with somyeon (thin wheat noodles). ![A bowl piled generously with somyeon noodle add-on](https://img.superchart.com/images/boksan-haejang-songjeong-ulsan-lunch/boksan-haejang-songjeong-ulsan-lunch-16-pqr4p-900.webp) Thanks to their generosity, we split the noodles between us and left feeling well and truly full. ### Haejang Kalguksu (₩13,000) A specialty dish that adds chewy kalguksu (hand-cut knife noodles) to Boksan Haejang's own deep, rich broth. ![A bowl of Boksan Haejang's haejang kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/boksan-haejang-songjeong-ulsan-lunch/boksan-haejang-songjeong-ulsan-lunch-17-el6bh-900.webp) ![Kalguksu noodles sitting in rich broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/boksan-haejang-songjeong-ulsan-lunch/boksan-haejang-songjeong-ulsan-lunch-18-exxyo-900.webp) ![Lifting up a portion of haejang kalguksu noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/boksan-haejang-songjeong-ulsan-lunch/boksan-haejang-songjeong-ulsan-lunch-19-dx8uo-900.webp) ![Haejang kalguksu served with side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/boksan-haejang-songjeong-ulsan-lunch/boksan-haejang-songjeong-ulsan-lunch-20-u0nc1-900.webp) The noodles soak up the rich broth's seasoning perfectly, giving a great slurping texture, and it offers a totally different, equally appealing charm compared to the gukbap. ## Local foodie's tips - Check the lunch-only hours: because the restaurant only runs from 11:00 to 14:30 (last order 14:00), I'd recommend visiting before the noon peak or getting there early. - Free corkage perk: corkage is free with no limit on the number of bottles, so if you enjoy a drink with your meal, feel free to bring along whatever alcohol you like without worrying about the cost. - Great for families: the clean interior plus high chairs make it a solid choice for a family meal out with kids. ![Table setting at the end of the meal at Boksan Haejang](https://img.superchart.com/images/boksan-haejang-songjeong-ulsan-lunch/boksan-haejang-songjeong-ulsan-lunch-21-hjkpa-900.webp) ![Table with gukbap and kalguksu at Boksan Haejang](https://img.superchart.com/images/boksan-haejang-songjeong-ulsan-lunch/boksan-haejang-songjeong-ulsan-lunch-22-2v0c3-900.webp) ![Interior view of the Boksan Haejang restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/boksan-haejang-songjeong-ulsan-lunch/boksan-haejang-songjeong-ulsan-lunch-23-1kiew-900.webp) ![Exterior of Boksan Haejang in the Songjeong commercial strip](https://img.superchart.com/images/boksan-haejang-songjeong-ulsan-lunch/boksan-haejang-songjeong-ulsan-lunch-24-1a3jn-900.webp) ## Where it is - Boksan Haejang (복산해장) - 8 Songjeong29-gil, 1st floor, Buk-gu, Ulsan, South Korea - 울산광역시 북구 송정29길 8 1층 - 35.5978479, 129.3608315 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%B3%B5%EC%82%B0%ED%95%B4%EC%9E%A5/@35.5978479,129.3608315,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@jagalchi-paper-mat/boksan-haejang-songjeong-ulsan-lunch/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
