While in Yongin to visit the Korean Folk Village, I went to Jangwongap Kalguksu Yongin Giheung Branch (장원갑칼국수 용인기흥점) for kalguksu, a fitting choice for a rainy day. The restaurant is on the first floor at 90 Gomae-ro, Giheung-gu, Yongin, and parking spaces were plentiful during my visit. I was looking forward to its dense yet soft handmade noodles, which are kneaded by hand after being made in-house. I was curious about the texture of the noodles themselves, not just the broth. ![Handmade kalguksu restaurant Jangwongap Kalguksu Yongin Giheung Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangwongap-giheung-shabu-kalguksu/jangwongap-giheung-shabu-kalguksu-01-3vc3h-900.webp) ![Exterior of Jangwongap Kalguksu in Yongin Giheung](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangwongap-giheung-shabu-kalguksu/jangwongap-giheung-shabu-kalguksu-02-w1pu6-900.webp) ## What were the atmosphere and amenities like? The hours listed in the original post are 10:30 AM to 9 PM. The exterior, with its large windows, looked clean, and the bright lighting and tidy interior caught my eye. The restaurant also introduced ingredients used not only for the noodles but for its kimchi, including garlic, dried pollock, and anchovies. ![Bright dining space at Jangwongap Kalguksu Yongin Giheung Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangwongap-giheung-shabu-kalguksu/jangwongap-giheung-shabu-kalguksu-03-11p65-900.webp) ![Jangwongap Kalguksu dining area and ingredient display](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangwongap-giheung-shabu-kalguksu/jangwongap-giheung-shabu-kalguksu-04-1ibd7-900.webp) ![Kalguksu and kimchi ingredient guide at Jangwongap Kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangwongap-giheung-shabu-kalguksu/jangwongap-giheung-shabu-kalguksu-05-vboga-900.webp) ![Tidy interior of Jangwongap Kalguksu Yongin Giheung Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangwongap-giheung-shabu-kalguksu/jangwongap-giheung-shabu-kalguksu-06-1jqbz-900.webp) There were also snacks prepared to eat after the meal or while waiting. ![Snacks prepared for after meals and waiting](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangwongap-giheung-shabu-kalguksu/jangwongap-giheung-shabu-kalguksu-07-1kzsp-900.webp) Even though I visited late in the evening, there were still quite a few diners inside. ![Jangwongap Kalguksu interior during a late dinner visit](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangwongap-giheung-shabu-kalguksu/jangwongap-giheung-shabu-kalguksu-08-16frb-900.webp) ![Jangwongap Kalguksu interior at dinner time](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangwongap-giheung-shabu-kalguksu/jangwongap-giheung-shabu-kalguksu-09-uioyp-900.webp) ## What kalguksu and side dishes are available? There were four kalguksu options: the signature beef brisket and minari wrap shabu kalguksu, live abalone and brisket shabu kalguksu, shabu kalguksu, and a basic meatless kalguksu. Side dishes included whole-shrimp seafood pajeon (scallion pancake) and bibim mandu (fried dumplings mixed with vegetables and sauce). Additional items included whole-shrimp wontons, mandu, a brisket-and-minari assortment, a sirloin, mushroom, and minari assortment, plus extra brisket, sirloin, mushrooms, and minari. ![Kalguksu and side-dish menu guide at Jangwongap Kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangwongap-giheung-shabu-kalguksu/jangwongap-giheung-shabu-kalguksu-10-1oo9y-900.webp) ![Menu guide for shabu kalguksu and extra ingredients](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangwongap-giheung-shabu-kalguksu/jangwongap-giheung-shabu-kalguksu-11-1yx9q-899.webp) ## How do you eat the shabu kalguksu? The instructions said to set the induction burner to level 7 and bring the broth to a boil, then briefly cook the beef, mushrooms, and minari and eat them first with soy sauce. Next, add the kalguksu noodles and cook them for five minutes, then finish with perilla-oil kkakdugi fried rice. ![Guide to eating shabu and kalguksu at Jangwongap Kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangwongap-giheung-shabu-kalguksu/jangwongap-giheung-shabu-kalguksu-12-succ6-900.webp) ![Self-service station with extra side dishes and tableware](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangwongap-giheung-shabu-kalguksu/jangwongap-giheung-shabu-kalguksu-13-ww2vy-900.webp) ![Restaurant area with takeaway containers and tableware](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangwongap-giheung-shabu-kalguksu/jangwongap-giheung-shabu-kalguksu-14-iav16-900.webp) The self-service station was conveniently and neatly stocked with extra side dishes, takeaway containers, and tableware. ## How were the handmade noodles and spicy shabu kalguksu? The kalguksu noodles arrived neatly arranged in a wooden bowl. Because they are thick noodles, the restaurant described the changing texture by cooking time as “noodle omakase.” I also liked the accompanying kimchi, which was moderately salted with a good texture and seasoning. ![Handmade kalguksu noodles neatly arranged in a wooden bowl](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangwongap-giheung-shabu-kalguksu/jangwongap-giheung-shabu-kalguksu-15-10kqb-900.webp) ![Kalguksu noodles and accompanying kimchi at Jangwongap Kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangwongap-giheung-shabu-kalguksu/jangwongap-giheung-shabu-kalguksu-16-1jfyo-900.webp) We ordered the spicy shabu kalguksu because we were craving a spicy broth. It came piled high with mushrooms and minari, along with sirloin. ![Shabu kalguksu with mushrooms, minari, and sirloin](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangwongap-giheung-shabu-kalguksu/jangwongap-giheung-shabu-kalguksu-17-1qjv5-900.webp) I briefly cooked the sirloin first and dipped it in wasabi soy sauce. Since the kalguksu was what I had been most looking forward to that day, I added the noodles straight after the shabu. ![Kalguksu noodles added after eating the shabu](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangwongap-giheung-shabu-kalguksu/jangwongap-giheung-shabu-kalguksu-18-114et-900.webp) ![Handmade kalguksu noodles in spicy shabu broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangwongap-giheung-shabu-kalguksu/jangwongap-giheung-shabu-kalguksu-19-91w30-900.webp) I usually prefer bibim guksu and makguksu to kalguksu or udon, but I liked these noodles because they were chewy yet soft. Their texture made me understand why they are called “cheese noodles.” My husband, who likes kalguksu, also said both the broth and noodles were good, and he was especially pleased with the noodles. ![Thick Jangwongap Kalguksu noodles cooked in shabu broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangwongap-giheung-shabu-kalguksu/jangwongap-giheung-shabu-kalguksu-20-8k0uy-900.webp) ![Handmade shabu kalguksu eaten at Jangwongap Kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangwongap-giheung-shabu-kalguksu/jangwongap-giheung-shabu-kalguksu-21-vnqx0-900.webp) ## How did we eat the bibim mandu and seafood pajeon? The bibim mandu came with a mixed sauce flavored with peaches from Jochiwon. I also liked its neat presentation. At first, I ate the dumplings with vegetables, but when I followed my husband's suggestion to soak the fried dumplings well in the sauce and mix them with the vegetables, they tasted even better. ![Fried dumplings with mixed sauce and vegetables](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangwongap-giheung-shabu-kalguksu/jangwongap-giheung-shabu-kalguksu-22-1ljrp-900.webp) ![Bibim mandu soaked in sauce and eaten with vegetables](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangwongap-giheung-shabu-kalguksu/jangwongap-giheung-shabu-kalguksu-23-166i7-900.webp) The whole-shrimp seafood pajeon was so generous with shrimp that it felt as though there was more shrimp than scallion, and it also contained tender squid. I liked that the chili chips on top cut through the richness, but they were too spicy for my child. If eating with a child, it would be better to ask for the chili chips to be left off when ordering. ## Was the final fried rice suitable for a child? We finished with the complimentary perilla-oil kkakdugi fried rice. It contained kkakdugi and minari, and the more it cooked, the more fragrant and nutty the rich perilla oil became. The fried rice was not spicy, so my child ate it well too. ![Meal enjoyed at Jangwongap Kalguksu Yongin Giheung Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangwongap-giheung-shabu-kalguksu-407e/jangwongap-giheung-shabu-kalguksu-24-9i4ja-1200.webp) The chewy yet soft handmade noodles were what I remembered most from this meal. With shabu, bibim mandu, whole-shrimp seafood pajeon, and fried rice, I was also happy with the range of dishes. ## Where it is - Jangwongap Kalguksu Yongin Giheung Branch (장원갑칼국수 용인기흥점) (장원갑칼국수 용인기흥점) - 90 Gomae-ro, Giheung-gu, Yongin, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - 경기도 용인시 기흥구 고매로 90 1층 - 37.2295313, 127.1186096 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%9E%A5%EC%9B%90%EA%B0%91%EC%B9%BC%EA%B5%AD%EC%88%98%20%EC%9A%A9%EC%9D%B8%EA%B8%B0%ED%9D%A5%EC%A0%90/@37.2295313,127.1186096,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@open-for-dinner/jangwongap-giheung-shabu-kalguksu-407e/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
