On a weekday visit around 1pm, the regular sundae gukbap and the spicy sundae gukbap were ordered side by side at 11,000 won each to compare broth colour and heat, and the napa cabbage kimchi from the free side dishes was so good it was finished before the soup. The broth at Boseung Hoegwan is rich with no gamy smell and packed with ingredients, making it an easy choice for solo diners or a meal with a drink. ## Good to know - **Address**: 654 Olympic-ro, 1st floor unit 1, Gangdong-gu, Seoul - **Hours**: Open 24 hours - **Location**: 1-minute walk from Exit 3, Cheonho Station, Line 5 - **Sundae gukbap**: 11,000 won - **Spicy sundae gukbap**: 11,000 won - **Ordering**: Tablet at each table, paper menu also available - **Free side dishes**: Kkakdugi (radish kimchi), napa cabbage kimchi, chives, salted shrimp - **Waiting**: Waiting zone in front of the restaurant; no wait on a weekday 1pm visit *as written by the visitor on Sep 14, 2026* I visited Boseung Hoegwan, a sundae gukbap (blood sausage soup) restaurant that's open 24 hours! ![Table setting with sundae gukbap at Boseung Hoegwan Cheonho Station Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/bosung-hoegwan-cheonho-spicy-sundae-gukbap/bosung-hoegwan-cheonho-spicy-sundae-gukbap-01-n7zz2-1200.webp) ## Where is Boseung Hoegwan Cheonho Station Branch, and when is it open?

I always go for the regular sundae gukbap, and my boyfriend said he'd get the spicy one, so we ordered one of each. Placing the two bowls side by side, the color difference was pretty striking (as someone who can't handle spice, spicy is off the table for me...🥵) Not long after ordering, the soups arrived still steaming~ ![Two bowls of sundae gukbap and spicy sundae gukbap](https://img.superchart.com/images/bosung-hoegwan-cheonho-spicy-sundae-gukbap/bosung-hoegwan-cheonho-spicy-sundae-gukbap-14-1i37x-900.webp) ![Spicy sundae gukbap stirred with chili paste](https://img.superchart.com/images/bosung-hoegwan-cheonho-spicy-sundae-gukbap/bosung-hoegwan-cheonho-spicy-sundae-gukbap-15-7adk9-900.webp) It tastes best once you stir the chili paste in well, so I gave it a light stir with my spoon and found it packed with tender meat and thick chunks of sundae~ ![Bowl filled with meat and thick chunks of sundae](https://img.superchart.com/images/bosung-hoegwan-cheonho-spicy-sundae-gukbap/bosung-hoegwan-cheonho-spicy-sundae-gukbap-16-3uql6-900.webp) ![Bowl of sundae gukbap topped with chives](https://img.superchart.com/images/bosung-hoegwan-cheonho-spicy-sundae-gukbap/bosung-hoegwan-cheonho-spicy-sundae-gukbap-17-znssw-900.webp) ![Sundae and meat cooled on a rice bowl lid](https://img.superchart.com/images/bosung-hoegwan-cheonho-spicy-sundae-gukbap/bosung-hoegwan-cheonho-spicy-sundae-gukbap-18-sbmro-900.webp) ![Broth mixed with rice in the leftover soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/bosung-hoegwan-cheonho-spicy-sundae-gukbap/bosung-hoegwan-cheonho-spicy-sundae-gukbap-19-5us6m-900.webp) ### Tips for eating sundae gukbap🌟 - Load up generously on the chives that come as a side dish - Fish out the hot sundae and meat onto the rice bowl lid to cool them first, then dip lightly in salted shrimp! - Mix rice into the leftover broth and stir well ## Verdict: which gukbap should you order at Boseung Hoegwan?
