A couple eating pork noodle soup for the first time came with their baby at a late lunch hour, got in with no wait, and ordered two bone-broth pork noodle soups plus dombe naengsuyuk (cold sliced pork); the regular size was generous and the pork had no gamey smell, so even the baby ate well. With space for four cars out front, one hour of public parking covered and baby chairs on hand, Handam Guksu is an easy stop for families traveling in Jeju. ## Good to know - **Menu**: Bone-broth pork noodle soup / mala pork noodle soup / dombe cold sliced pork / lean pork rice soup / tteokgalbi / mandu - **Order**: 2 bone-broth pork noodle soups + dombe naengsuyuk (cold sliced pork) - **Size**: Every noodle dish can be ordered extra-large - **Parking**: Room for about 4 cars out front, plus a separate lot; 1 hour of public parking covered - **Side dishes**: Self-serve bar (kimchi, dried radish strips, peppers and more) - **With kids**: Baby chairs available - **Wait**: Usually a line, but no wait at a late lunch *as written by the visitor on Sep 22, 2026* ## Our first bowl of pork noodle soup in Aewol, at Handam Guksu We went on a Jeju trip this time and stayed on the west side, in Aewol~! We'd heard this was a top pork noodle soup spot in Aewol, so we headed straight there~!! It was our first time ever trying gogi guksu (pork noodle soup), so we were super excited as we looked for Handam Guksu. ![Exterior of Handam Guksu Gwakji Aewol Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/aewol-pork-noodle-handam-cold-suyuk/aewol-pork-noodle-handam-cold-suyuk-01-1uf5m-900.webp) You can spot Handam Guksu from far away~~!!! When you think Jeju, you think pork noodle soup, so I was really curious how it would taste. The sign itself says "noodles" right on it, which gave me confidence. There are so many places selling pork noodle soup around Aewol that we agonized over where to go. ![Handam Guksu sign with "noodles" in the title](https://img.superchart.com/images/aewol-pork-noodle-handam-cold-suyuk/aewol-pork-noodle-handam-cold-suyuk-02-uizre-900.webp) ![Entrance view of Handam Guksu Gwakji Aewol Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/aewol-pork-noodle-handam-cold-suyuk/aewol-pork-noodle-handam-cold-suyuk-03-1kz28-900.webp) ## Parking in Aewol: how easy is it at Handam Guksu? Handam Guksu has parking available and is known as a local favorite, so we felt confident going in. There's room for about 4 cars right in front, plus another lot, which was great. The public parking lot gives you 1 hour free. Parking is a real battle around Aewol, so finding a place with parking made us very happy. ![CatchTable waitlist kiosk in front of the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/aewol-pork-noodle-handam-cold-suyuk/aewol-pork-noodle-handam-cold-suyuk-04-g4f8l-900.webp) Just seeing it on CatchTable tells you it's a popular spot, right? We had such high hopes for Handam Guksu, famous for Aewol pork noodle soup. Normally there's a wait here, but since we went for a late lunch, we didn't have to wait at all. ![Interior seating at Handam Guksu during a late lunch](https://img.superchart.com/images/aewol-pork-noodle-handam-cold-suyuk/aewol-pork-noodle-handam-cold-suyuk-05-1m2ov-m-900.webp) ![Interior of Handam Guksu with ocean view](https://img.superchart.com/images/aewol-pork-noodle-handam-cold-suyuk/aewol-pork-noodle-handam-cold-suyuk-06-1lfnz-900.webp) ## Sea-view seats, a self-serve side bar and a baby chair Even though we went a bit late, we were surprised to see there were still people around~! The tables were spotless and there were more staff than I expected. Clean interior, and the ocean right there in view. Being able to eat noodles while looking out at Aewol's sea — I really love Jeju haha. ![View of Aewol's sea through the window](https://img.superchart.com/images/aewol-pork-noodle-handam-cold-suyuk/aewol-pork-noodle-handam-cold-suyuk-07-13hlh-900.webp) ![A neatly arranged table setting](https://img.superchart.com/images/aewol-pork-noodle-handam-cold-suyuk/aewol-pork-noodle-handam-cold-suyuk-08-k3h9l-900.webp) ![Interior of Handam Guksu with the sea visible outside](https://img.superchart.com/images/aewol-pork-noodle-handam-cold-suyuk/aewol-pork-noodle-handam-cold-suyuk-09-192fj-900.webp) For side dishes, you use the self-serve bar — kimchi, dried radish, peppers, and more, take as much as you like, super satisfying. We tend to eat a lot of side dishes, so the self-serve bar was really convenient for us. ![Self-serve side dish bar with kimchi and dried radish](https://img.superchart.com/images/aewol-pork-noodle-handam-cold-suyuk/aewol-pork-noodle-handam-cold-suyuk-10-1rm4b-900.webp) Just a heads up, they have baby chairs available~ Since we were traveling with our baby, whether or not there's a baby chair really matters to us. Surprisingly many places don't have them, so it's great when a place does. ![Baby chair available at the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/aewol-pork-noodle-handam-cold-suyuk/aewol-pork-noodle-handam-cold-suyuk-11-1rp5w-900.webp) ![Seating area for guests with children](https://img.superchart.com/images/aewol-pork-noodle-handam-cold-suyuk/aewol-pork-noodle-handam-cold-suyuk-12-6iwdf-900.webp) ![Menu board at Handam Guksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/aewol-pork-noodle-handam-cold-suyuk/aewol-pork-noodle-handam-cold-suyuk-13-1bazj-900.webp) ## Handam Guksu menu and what we ordered The menu had bone-broth pork noodle soup / mala pork noodle soup / dombe naengsuyuk (cold sliced pork), lean pork rice soup / tteokgalbi / mandu~! We ordered two bone-broth pork noodle soups and the dombe naengsuyuk~!! All the noodle dishes can be upsized to large. There were so many options we agonized over what to choose. Since it's known as a local favorite in Aewol, we were even more excited. ![Two bowls of bone-broth pork noodle soup with dombe naengsuyuk on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/aewol-pork-noodle-handam-cold-suyuk/aewol-pork-noodle-handam-cold-suyuk-14-17py0-1200.webp) ## How the bone-broth pork noodle soup tastes, and how big it is Such a clean-looking bowl. Since it was our first time trying pork noodle soup, I was so curious what it would taste like. Where I live it's hard to find pork noodle soup anywhere, so I wondered how it'd be — but the visual made my mouth water so much it was hard to even take photos haha. ![A bowl of bone-broth pork noodle soup topped with garnish](https://img.superchart.com/images/aewol-pork-noodle-handam-cold-suyuk/aewol-pork-noodle-handam-cold-suyuk-15-busvm-900.webp) ![Pork noodle soup topped with thin pork slices and bean sprouts](https://img.superchart.com/images/aewol-pork-noodle-handam-cold-suyuk/aewol-pork-noodle-handam-cold-suyuk-16-2oybr-900.webp) Thin slices of pork, bean sprouts, and clean-tasting side dishes~ You can't really tell from the photos, but the bowl was huge and the portion was surprisingly generous. The dried radish and kimchi side dishes seemed homemade — clean flavors, exactly to our taste. ![Dried radish and kimchi side dishes from the self-serve bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/aewol-pork-noodle-handam-cold-suyuk/aewol-pork-noodle-handam-cold-suyuk-17-1wmvq-900.webp) ![Close-up of the generous pork noodle soup portion](https://img.superchart.com/images/aewol-pork-noodle-handam-cold-suyuk/aewol-pork-noodle-handam-cold-suyuk-18-1l7gd-900.webp) My husband and I usually order the large size when we eat noodles, but the portion was so big that even the regular size surprised us. There's zero gamey smell from the meat, and it's tender. I'd never seen pork sliced this thin before, but the texture was better than expected!!! ![Noodles lifted up from the pork noodle soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/aewol-pork-noodle-handam-cold-suyuk/aewol-pork-noodle-handam-cold-suyuk-19-81hym-900.webp) ![Rich, deep-colored bone broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/aewol-pork-noodle-handam-cold-suyuk/aewol-pork-noodle-handam-cold-suyuk-20-10a40-900.webp) ### Could our baby eat it too? Our baby ate it with us too, and since it's not too strongly flavored and the pork is soft, the baby just dove right in face-first haha!! The broth is truly deep. I'd say the color comes from being simmered down for a really long time. Wrapping the noodles and pork together like this, you can just keep eating endlessly. And with the crunch of the bean sprouts too, it's such a treat for the mouth. Aewol pork noodle soup~~ I'll definitely go back to Handam Guksu. ![A plate of thinly sliced dombe naengsuyuk](https://img.superchart.com/images/aewol-pork-noodle-handam-cold-suyuk/aewol-pork-noodle-handam-cold-suyuk-21-16o8t-900.webp) ## Dombe naengsuyuk: the red dipping sauce is the highlight The dombe naengsuyuk (cold sliced pork) we also ordered!!! It's completely different from the thick boiled pork you usually get. Cold sliced pork — first time trying that, and wow, it's genuinely delicious. ![Red dipping sauce served with the dombe naengsuyuk](https://img.superchart.com/images/aewol-pork-noodle-handam-cold-suyuk/aewol-pork-noodle-handam-cold-suyuk-22-api6o-900.webp) This red dipping sauce is really the kicker~!! The combo of chewy fat and tender lean meat is top-tier. No wonder it's known as a local favorite in Aewol. We'll be back again and again on our next trip. ## Where it is - Handam Guksu Gwakji Aewol Branch (한담국수 곽지애월점) - 33 Aewol-ro, Aewol-eup, Jeju-si, Jeju-do, South Korea, 1st floor - 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/@jeju-windward-plate/aewol-pork-noodle-handam-cold-suyuk/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
