I stopped by Sinju Okmi Gangnam Branch when I wanted a hot bowl of gukbap (Korean soup with rice) between Gangnam Station and Yeoksam Station. Sinju Okmi is known as a Blue Ribbon-listed sundaeguk (blood sausage soup) restaurant near Gangnam Station.

## Where is Sinju Okmi Gangnam Branch? An 8-minute walk from Yeoksam Station

Sinju Okmi Gangnam Branch is at 21 Teheran-ro 10-gil, Building A, 1st Floor, Unit 103, Yeoksam-dong 823-35, Gangnam-gu, Seoul. It's about a 7-8 minute walk between Gangnam Station and Yeoksam Station.

## Sinju Okmi's menu, from bracken sundaeguk to sanghwang mushroom soups

The menu at Sinju Okmi Gangnam Branch had a wide range of gukbap options, from the basic myeongin sundaeguk to bracken (fernbrake) sundaeguk, pork gukbap, and intestine gukbap. Having dishes that use sanghwang mushroom and bracken set it apart a bit from a typical sundaeguk restaurant.

It wasn't just sundaeguk on offer — there were quite a few options between the pork gukbap and side dishes, so it seemed easy to pick according to your taste.

## What side dishes and self-bar items come with the meal?

The basic side dishes were kkakdugi (radish kimchi) and mu-saengchae (radish salad), peppers and onion, and ssamjang (seasoned soybean paste). Salted shrimp, perilla powder, minced seasoning, and pepper were also set out on the table, so I could season the gukbap to taste as I ate.

There was also a self-bar you could help yourself from, stocked with green onion, garlic, chives, and peppers as well as somyeon noodles, so you could add as much as you liked to your gukbap.

## Crispy shredded potato pancake, 9,500 won: julienned potato fried in strands

The side dish I ordered, crispy shredded potato pancake (9,500 won), came out first. Rather than the usual style where potato is finely grated and pan-fried, this one was made with julienned potato strips, so you could see the grain of the potato and feel the texture of the shredded strips — it was as crispy as a deep-fried snack.

While I was working through the potato pancake, the gukbap arrived too. I'd ordered myeongin sundaeguk and glutinous rice nurungji pork gukbap.

## Myeongin sundaeguk, 11,000 won: seasoning the broth with salted shrimp and perilla powder

Sinju Okmi Gangnam Branch's myeongin sundaeguk (11,000 won) was a classic sundaeguk setup with broth, sundae (blood sausage), and meat all together. Depending on taste, you could add a bit of salted shrimp or extra perilla powder, and I ate it with chives and peppers on the side.

The broth is what matters most for sundaeguk, and with hot broth and all the fillings scooped up together, it made for a hearty one-bowl meal.

## Glutinous rice nurungji pork gukbap, 11,000 won: scorched rice cooked into the broth

I ordered the glutinous rice nurungji pork gukbap (11,000 won) because it's a dish you don't usually see at a sundaeguk restaurant. Unlike a regular pork gukbap where the rice is served separately, here the glutinous rice nurungji (scorched rice) was mixed right into the broth.

![Scooping up glutinous rice nurungji from the broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinjuokmi-gangnam-yeoksam-gukbap/sinjuokmi-gangnam-yeoksam-gukbap-16-9zdcp-900.webp)

With the glutinous rice nurungji in the warm broth, it felt like gukbap and nurungji-tang (scorched rice soup) at once, so if you like dishes with nurungji, I'd recommend this one over a regular pork gukbap.

## Is Sinju Okmi good for a Gangnam work lunch or eating alone?

If you're near Gangnam Station or Yeoksam Station and craving hot soup, or just want a filling bowl of gukbap, give Sinju Okmi Gangnam Branch a try. The atmosphere isn't awkward for eating solo either, which made it a good option for a Gangnam Station office worker's lunch.
