At lunch, a bowl of dak kalguksu (11,000 won) held half a chicken, with a posted sign saying the aged noodles are boiled in fresh batches every 15 minutes, plus dak gomtang (11,000 won) and chewy mandu (6,000 won). Stirring kimchi from the self-serve bar into the broth made it clean enough to finish every last spoonful. ## Good to know - **Location**: 1F, Units 129-132, 160-15 Haedoji-ro, Yeonsu-gu, Incheon (apartment shopping complex in Songdo District 1) - **Hours**: 11:00 AM–9:00 PM, last order 8:30 PM - **Dak kalguksu (chicken knife-cut noodle soup)**: 11,000 won - **Dak gomtang (chicken soup)**: 11,000 won (rice included) - **Eonyang-style kalguksu**: 8,000 won - **Suyuk (boiled pork), 220g**: 15,000 won - **Chewy mandu (dumplings)**: 6,000 won (8 pieces) - **Bowl of rice / extra chicken**: 1,000 won / 4,000 won - **How to order**: Tablet ordering at the table - **Side dishes**: Self-serve bar (danmuji pickled radish, kimchi, spicy kimchi) - **Cooking time**: Aged noodles boiled fresh every 15 minutes; about 15 minutes to cook - **Price reference**: ₩11,000 ≈ $8.2 · ₩8,000 ≈ $5.9 · ₩15,000 ≈ $11 (2026-09-15) *as written by the visitor on Sep 6, 2026* ![A full table setting of dak kalguksu at Eonyang Dak Kalguksu Incheon Songdo Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/songdo-chicken-kalguksu-fresh-noodles-dumplings/songdo-chicken-kalguksu-fresh-noodles-dumplings-01-7wkuj-1200.webp) On days when you want to fill up with a bowl of hot soup, what comes to mind? Today I visited a place in Songdo, Incheon that's known for generously loading a full half chicken into its noodle soup — Eonyang Dak Kalguksu Incheon Songdo Branch. Let's get into this hearty little food trip! ![Exterior of Eonyang Dak Kalguksu Incheon Songdo Branch in a Songdo District 1 shopping complex](https://img.superchart.com/images/songdo-chicken-kalguksu-fresh-noodles-dumplings/songdo-chicken-kalguksu-fresh-noodles-dumplings-02-4ir6j-966.webp) ## Where is Eonyang Dak Kalguksu Songdo, and what are its hours? Eonyang Dak Kalguksu Incheon Songdo Branch is on the 1st floor of 160-15 Haedoji-ro, Yeonsu-gu, Incheon, in Songdo District 1. It's open from 11:00 AM to 9:00 PM, with last order at 8:30 PM. Since it's in a shopping complex tucked between apartment blocks, it wasn't hard to find. I went right at lunchtime, and the seats were already filling up. ![Sunlit dining hall of Eonyang Dak Kalguksu Incheon Songdo Branch with large windows](https://img.superchart.com/images/songdo-chicken-kalguksu-fresh-noodles-dumplings/songdo-chicken-kalguksu-fresh-noodles-dumplings-03-1ojq7-966.webp) ## What does the Songdo restaurant look like inside? Walking into Eonyang Dak Kalguksu Incheon Songdo Branch, sunlight pours in through the large windows. The clean, well-kept interior greets you as soon as you step in. The tables are spaced comfortably, so it works well for a family meal or for eating alone without feeling awkward. The dining hall is on the larger side, so even with the lunch crowd, turnover was fairly quick. ![Eonyang Dak Kalguksu menu displayed on a table tablet](https://img.superchart.com/images/songdo-chicken-kalguksu-fresh-noodles-dumplings/songdo-chicken-kalguksu-fresh-noodles-dumplings-04-1mn1a-966.webp) ## Menu and prices at Eonyang Dak Kalguksu Songdo Each table has a tablet, so ordering is easy. Dak kalguksu is ₩11,000, dak gomtang is ₩11,000, and Eonyang-style kalguksu is ₩8,000. ![Price list for side dishes including boiled pork and chewy mandu](https://img.superchart.com/images/songdo-chicken-kalguksu-fresh-noodles-dumplings/songdo-chicken-kalguksu-fresh-noodles-dumplings-05-109e7-966.webp) Boiled pork (220g) is ₩15,000, chewy mandu is ₩6,000, rice is ₩1,000, and extra chicken is ₩4,000. There are also dishes meant for 2-3 people, like jjimdak (braised chicken) and chogye guksu (cold noodles in tangy chilled broth), so there's plenty to choose from. We ordered the dak kalguksu, dak gomtang, and chewy mandu. ![Table set with basics right after ordering](https://img.superchart.com/images/songdo-chicken-kalguksu-fresh-noodles-dumplings/songdo-chicken-kalguksu-fresh-noodles-dumplings-06-1x06f-966.webp) ![Sign explaining the noodle boiling schedule](https://img.superchart.com/images/songdo-chicken-kalguksu-fresh-noodles-dumplings/songdo-chicken-kalguksu-fresh-noodles-dumplings-07-6dr96-966.webp) ## Aged noodles boiled fresh every 15 minutes A sign posted in the restaurant says the aged noodles at Eonyang Dak Kalguksu Incheon Songdo Branch are boiled fresh every 15 minutes. Being told in advance that cooking takes about 15 minutes made the wait feel easy. After placing our order, one particular notice caught my eye — it made clear this is a very different approach from places that pre-boil noodles and just reheat them. ![Table set with dak kalguksu, dak gomtang, and chewy mandu together](https://img.superchart.com/images/songdo-chicken-kalguksu-fresh-noodles-dumplings/songdo-chicken-kalguksu-fresh-noodles-dumplings-08-mt7ri-966.webp) ## Half a chicken in the dak kalguksu A single ₩11,000 bowl of dak kalguksu contains half a chicken, cleaned and left whole. The table was finally set, and the first thing that caught my eye was the dak kalguksu in a large stainless steel bowl. ![Dak kalguksu in a stainless steel bowl piled with green onion](https://img.superchart.com/images/songdo-chicken-kalguksu-fresh-noodles-dumplings/songdo-chicken-kalguksu-fresh-noodles-dumplings-09-xnbis-966.webp) Thinly sliced green onions are piled high over the milky broth. Underneath, chunky pieces of chicken take up plenty of space. ![Thick kalguksu noodles lifted up with chopsticks](https://img.superchart.com/images/songdo-chicken-kalguksu-fresh-noodles-dumplings/songdo-chicken-kalguksu-fresh-noodles-dumplings-10-1i8cm-966.webp) Lifting up a chopstick-full of noodles, the thick, plump strands come right along with it. Since they're freshly boiled, the chewiness is clearly still alive. The broth carries a deep savoriness from long-simmered chicken, but it goes down clean rather than greasy. ![Milky chicken broth with large pieces of chicken](https://img.superchart.com/images/songdo-chicken-kalguksu-fresh-noodles-dumplings/songdo-chicken-kalguksu-fresh-noodles-dumplings-11-1leox-966.webp) This restaurant's real strength shows once you dig through the broth. Half a chicken sits in there, cleaned but otherwise whole — legs, wings, and body meat all intact, so much so that I had to fish it out and move it to a separate bowl. ![Half a chicken fished out of the broth and placed in a separate bowl](https://img.superchart.com/images/songdo-chicken-kalguksu-fresh-noodles-dumplings/songdo-chicken-kalguksu-fresh-noodles-dumplings-12-4skpm-966.webp) The meat was cooked through so thoroughly that it pulled apart along the grain with just a light touch of the chopsticks. Yet it wasn't dry at all — still moist. For a single bowl of kalguksu, it's hard to imagine a better lunch option in Songdo, Incheon. ## Dak gomtang served with a bowl of rice Dak gomtang is also ₩11,000, and instead of noodles, it comes with a bowl of rice, so you can enjoy it like a soup-and-rice meal. The dak gomtang we ordered alongside was just as hearty. ![Dak gomtang served together with a bowl of rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/songdo-chicken-kalguksu-fresh-noodles-dumplings/songdo-chicken-kalguksu-fresh-noodles-dumplings-13-1bnyy-966.webp) Just like the kalguksu, it's loaded with big chunks of chicken and plenty of green onion, making the broth even more refreshing. For anyone who finds noodles too heavy, or who needs rice with their meal, this option fits better. ## Chewy mandu that lives up to its name The chewy mandu (dumplings) we ordered as a side comes eight pieces for ₩6,000. ![Eight pieces of chewy mandu on a plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/songdo-chicken-kalguksu-fresh-noodles-dumplings/songdo-chicken-kalguksu-fresh-noodles-dumplings-14-141di-966.webp) True to the name, the dumpling skin is thin yet chewy. Even when picked up with chopsticks, it holds together without tearing. ![Chewy mandu cut in half showing the filling inside](https://img.superchart.com/images/songdo-chicken-kalguksu-fresh-noodles-dumplings/songdo-chicken-kalguksu-fresh-noodles-dumplings-15-p3hbo-966.webp) Cutting one open reveals a tightly packed filling of meat and vegetables. Just a couple are filling enough, and dipping them briefly in the hot broth gives them a whole different flavor. ## The self-serve bar and its two kimchis Side dishes at Eonyang Dak Kalguksu Incheon Songdo Branch are self-serve — you help yourself from the bar. ![Self-serve bar with danmuji, kimchi, and spicy kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/songdo-chicken-kalguksu-fresh-noodles-dumplings/songdo-chicken-kalguksu-fresh-noodles-dumplings-16-ctlb0-966.webp) There are three options: danmuji (pickled radish), kimchi, and spicy kimchi. The kimchi here was genuinely impressive — properly fermented, crunchy, and full of savory depth. ![Restaurant sign suggesting kimchi seasoning be added to the kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/songdo-chicken-kalguksu-fresh-noodles-dumplings/songdo-chicken-kalguksu-fresh-noodles-dumplings-17-o2am8-966.webp) There was even a sign posted in the restaurant about it — suggesting that if you like a spicier flavor, add kimchi and kimchi seasoning to your kalguksu. I actually tried adding kimchi to the broth, and it instantly turned bright and refreshing. In the end, I finished off every last drop of the broth. ## Deokso Boy's honest take on Eonyang Dak Kalguksu - A whole half chicken: A full half chicken goes into each bowl of kalguksu, just as it is. - Aged noodles boiled every 15 minutes: Noodles aren't pre-boiled — they're freshly boiled in new batches every 15 minutes. - A self-serve bar with great kimchi: Help yourself to as much danmuji, kimchi, and spicy kimchi as you like. ## Is Eonyang Dak Kalguksu Songdo worth a visit? If you need a hearty meal in the Songdo area of Incheon, this is a place worth heading to without hesitation. Between the generous portions and the rich broth, I finished up feeling pretty satisfied. How about a bowl of kalguksu with half a chicken in it for lunch today? ## Where it is - Eonyang Dak Kalguksu Incheon Songdo Branch (언양닭칼국수 인천송도점) - 1F 129-132, 160-15 Haedoji-ro, Yeonsu-gu, Incheon, South Korea - 인천광역시 연수구 해돋이로 160-15 1층 129-132호 - 37.3958572, 126.6461599 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%96%B8%EC%96%91%EB%8B%AD%EC%B9%BC%EA%B5%AD%EC%88%98%20%EC%9D%B8%EC%B2%9C%EC%86%A1%EB%8F%84%EC%A0%90/@37.3958572,126.6461599,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@jeju-cupboard-light/songdo-chicken-kalguksu-fresh-noodles-dumplings/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
