Bossam restaurant by Gunja Station with parking: Sosa Myeonok
In short
Sosa Myeonok is a Korean restaurant at 270 Neungdong-ro in Gwangjin, Seoul, a five-minute walk from Gunja Station Exit 6 and under ten minutes from the main gate of Children's Grand Park. On a Saturday evening after a walk in the park, parking was available right in front of Sosa Myeonok and exactly one two-seat table was left, so dinner was a small daega bossam (boiled pork with wraps) and deul-gireum hamheung-myeon (perilla oil cold noodles). The tender pork topped with kodari-muchim (spicy seasoned half-dried pollack) and fresh julienned vegetables, plus the noodles mixed all the way to the bottom as the owner advised, both satisfied.

Today I went to Children's Grand Park and got a craving for bossam (boiled pork wraps), so I checked out Sosa Myeonok nearby. The tender bossam pork was so clean-tasting.
Sosa Myeonok
Where is Sosa Myeonok, what are the hours, and is there parking?
Sosa Myeonok is located at 270 Neungdong-ro, 1st floor, Gwangjin-gu, Seoul, South Korea. It's open daily from 10:50 to 21:00, with last order at 20:30. Parking is available.
There's parking right in front of Sosa Myeonok, so I could pull in and eat without any hassle. Parking is tough around Gunja Station, so having a spot right outside the restaurant was one of the reasons I picked this place for dinner tonight.
Signs, awards and waiting seats at the Sosa Myeonok entrance
As you'd expect from a well-loved spot, the entrance was packed with signs the moment I walked in. It was fun looking at each one haha.
There were plenty of awards too — this place had received both Blue Ribbon and Red Ribbon certifications. My expectations for the food kept climbing!!
Right in front of the signs and awards there were waiting seats, so even if there had been a wait, I could have sat comfortably.
Saturday evening at Sosa Myeonok: was there a wait?
I visited on a Saturday evening, and the place was completely packed — I thought I might not even get a table and would have to wait. Luckily, a single two-seat table was open, so I sat right down.
The wall was covered with writing about the broth.
And sure enough, the broth turned out rich and delicious. Sosa Myeonok, a Korean restaurant packed with good food near Gunja Station! The interior was clean and modern too, which made me trust the food even more.
Ordering by kiosk: small daega bossam and perilla oil hamheung noodles
Ordering at Sosa Myeonok was easy — a kiosk right at the table. We ordered one small daega bossam and one deul-gireum hamheung-myeon (perilla oil cold noodles). I'd actually considered the naengmyeon since I heard it was famous here, but as a perilla-oil lover, I went for the hamheung-myeon again today haha.
What's on the self-serve bar at Sosa Myeonok?
After ordering, I went to check out the self-serve bar. Whenever I go to a restaurant, I always make a point of checking out what's on the self-serve bar haha.
There was kimchi and pickled radish among other things, and when I walked over, the staff came to ask if I needed anything and offered to help (so kind).
By the time I came back from browsing the self-serve bar, the broth was already waiting at our table — warm and properly rich.
Since we ordered bossam, salted shrimp, ssamjang (dipping sauce), and pickled radish also came out.
For the noodle dish, there was also vinegar, mustard, and pepper to mix in.
Small daega bossam: what comes with it and how it tastes
While I was looking around the restaurant, the daega bossam arrived! On top of the tender boiled pork sat napa cabbage kimchi, kodari-muchim (spicy seasoned dried pollack), and fresh julienned vegetables, with sliced garlic and chili on the side and cabbage leaves underneath.
The kodari-muchim was spicy-sweet and genuinely delicious — I kept reaching for more. Piling a piece of bossam with a piece of kodari doubled the chewy satisfaction.
Loading up on the fresh julienned vegetables was great too! The crunchy vegetables paired beautifully with the bossam haha.
The bossam pork itself was soft with no off smell at all, so I enjoyed every bite from start to finish. I figured I wouldn't finish it all again today, but it was so good I ate through the whole thing haha.
How to eat deul-gireum hamheung-myeon, the owner's way
Next came the Sosa Myeonok deul-gireum hamheung-myeon.
It was my first time trying hamheung-myeon (chewy noodles from Hamheung-style cuisine), and it was chewy and paired really well with the perilla oil. Whole sesame seeds were mixed in too, so every bite had a nice crunch.
When we started mixing it casually, the owner came over and told us we had to mix it thoroughly all the way to the bottom for it to taste right. Once we did that, the savory flavor really came alive. We mixed it almost like jjajangmyeon, digging all the way to the bottom haha.
Walking to Sosa Myeonok from Gunja Station or Children's Grand Park
Sosa Myeonok is about a 5-minute walk from Gunja Station Exit 6, and under 10 minutes from the main gate of Children's Grand Park, so if you're in the area, it's well worth a visit 👍👍
Overall, the combination of deul-gireum hamheung-myeon and bossam was excellent, and both the owner and staff were kind, making for a comfortable meal out haha. Highly recommend.
