There are seats where you can eat comfortably alone, but also plenty of room for a date with your partner, a family meal with your precious kids, or even a group dinner — the seating is that generous. The restaurant is spacious, well-equipped with cute baby chairs, and the restrooms are kept sparkling clean, so you can feel comfortable and relaxed the whole time you're eating — a real find near the Korean Folk Village. ![Wide, clean seating inside Yubok Kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongin-minsokchon-kalguksu-baby-dumplings/yongin-minsokchon-kalguksu-baby-dumplings-07-16gu9-900.webp) ## What is in the seafood kalguksu broth: live clams and omandungi The exceptional depth of Yubok Kalguksu's broth apparently comes from fresh seafood delivered fresh every single day. Yubok Kalguksu is already known as one of the country's top five kalguksu restaurants, with a long history behind it. Once I tasted it, I understood right away why it's loved by so many people. Live clams that are still alive every morning, along with fresh oysters and monggae (sea squirt-like sea pineapple) shipped straight from Tongyeong, go generously into the broth — one spoonful and the deep, refreshing ocean flavor fills your mouth, drawing an involuntary sigh of satisfaction. ![Seafood kalguksu with live clams and monggae](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongin-minsokchon-kalguksu-baby-dumplings/yongin-minsokchon-kalguksu-baby-dumplings-08-doieq-900.webp) ![Seafood kalguksu broth with seafood ingredients](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongin-minsokchon-kalguksu-baby-dumplings/yongin-minsokchon-kalguksu-baby-dumplings-09-1p8pn-900.webp) ## Flame-grilled jjukkumi ordered alongside the kalguksu If just eating kalguksu feels a bit lacking, you have to order this side dish too: charcoal-grilled jjukkumi (webfoot octopus)! Stir-fried in a special sauce built on 20 years of know-how, it's spicy with a pleasant charred aroma that hits your nose. The springy, chewy jjukkumi combined with the deeply savory seasoning makes for a bite that pulls a gasp out of you. The pairing of the light, refreshing kalguksu broth with the spicy-sweet charcoal-grilled jjukkumi is truly a match made for stirring up your appetite. I think this flavor alone will bring me back to this Korean Folk Village-area restaurant. ![Charcoal-grilled jjukkumi stir-fried in special sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongin-minsokchon-kalguksu-baby-dumplings/yongin-minsokchon-kalguksu-baby-dumplings-10-exeqr-900.webp) ![A plate of charcoal-grilled jjukkumi](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongin-minsokchon-kalguksu-baby-dumplings/yongin-minsokchon-kalguksu-baby-dumplings-11-16vjr-900.webp) ![Table set with kalguksu and charcoal-grilled jjukkumi together](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongin-minsokchon-kalguksu-baby-dumplings/yongin-minsokchon-kalguksu-baby-dumplings-12-5aeg5-900.webp) ![Eating jjukkumi and kalguksu together](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongin-minsokchon-kalguksu-baby-dumplings/yongin-minsokchon-kalguksu-baby-dumplings-13-hhszk-900.webp) ## House-made noodles, fresh geotjeori kimchi and yuja radish salad Yubok Kalguksu's noodles are something special too. They're made fresh in-house every day and carefully aged, so they keep their chewy, springy texture all the way to the last bite without going soggy. Paired with crisp geotjeori (fresh unfermented kimchi) made daily every morning and a refreshing, sweet yuja (citron) radish salad, it's a perfect combination. It really lived up to the reputation of a trusted, deeply flavorful restaurant near the Korean Folk Village. ![Chewy house-made kalguksu noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongin-minsokchon-kalguksu-baby-dumplings/yongin-minsokchon-kalguksu-baby-dumplings-14-x9h7x-900.webp) ![Side dishes of kimchi geotjeori and yuja radish salad](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongin-minsokchon-kalguksu-baby-dumplings/yongin-minsokchon-kalguksu-baby-dumplings-15-9ybfc-900.webp) ![Noodles lifted up with chopsticks](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongin-minsokchon-kalguksu-baby-dumplings/yongin-minsokchon-kalguksu-baby-dumplings-16-9eft4-900.webp) ![Table set with kalguksu and side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongin-minsokchon-kalguksu-baby-dumplings/yongin-minsokchon-kalguksu-baby-dumplings-17-4mr4e-900.webp) ## Are the dumplings mild enough for a 22-month-old? Since we have a 22-month-old baby, we also ordered dumplings we could share with her. They weren't too salty, so the baby ate them really well. The combo of kalguksu + jjukkumi + dumplings is pure love .. ♥ ![Plate of dumplings eaten with the baby](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongin-minsokchon-kalguksu-baby-dumplings/yongin-minsokchon-kalguksu-baby-dumplings-18-1juzn-900.webp) ![Table with kalguksu, jjukkumi and dumplings together](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongin-minsokchon-kalguksu-baby-dumplings/yongin-minsokchon-kalguksu-baby-dumplings-19-19v50-900.webp) ![Dumplings cut open](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongin-minsokchon-kalguksu-baby-dumplings/yongin-minsokchon-kalguksu-baby-dumplings-20-1o8r0-900.webp) ![Baby sitting in a baby chair eating](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongin-minsokchon-kalguksu-baby-dumplings/yongin-minsokchon-kalguksu-baby-dumplings-21-1p0b1-900.webp) ![Vertical photo of the family dining table](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongin-minsokchon-kalguksu-baby-dumplings/yongin-minsokchon-kalguksu-baby-dumplings-22-1y05q-900.webp) ## Service from the owner and staff at Yubok Kalguksu As impressive as the food's great taste was the excellent kindness of the owner and staff.
