Went to my mom's over the weekend and drank way too much, ugh. Today I wanted something with clear broth and rice, and while looking I found this Yongin, Boradong restaurant: Yubok Kalguksu! I'll explain why I ended up here as I go along. ![Exterior of Yubok Kalguksu's Folk Village branch in Boradong, Yongin](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongin-bora-dong-kalguksu-jjukkumi-baby-meal/yongin-bora-dong-kalguksu-jjukkumi-baby-meal-01-1hl22-900.webp) ## My criteria for picking a restaurant with a baby: parking and a high chair Ever since we had our baby, places without decent parking have become really hard to visit, ugh. So parking is always priority one when I'm restaurant hunting! There's luggage, there's a baby to get out of the car — can't ignore it. Priority two is probably the high chair. Though honestly, a booster seat can cover that, so I can be a little flexible there haha. Most places these days seem to have a baby chair anyway. ![Parking spaces beside the Yubok Kalguksu restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongin-bora-dong-kalguksu-jjukkumi-baby-meal/yongin-bora-dong-kalguksu-jjukkumi-baby-meal-02-afc5t-900.webp) ![The shared parking lot in front of the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongin-bora-dong-kalguksu-jjukkumi-baby-meal/yongin-bora-dong-kalguksu-jjukkumi-baby-meal-03-16p01-900.webp) Yubok Kalguksu has its own parking spots right beside the restaurant, plus a shared lot out front that it uses with other businesses. I imagine it could get a bit crowded on weekends though. ![Spacious dining hall with group tables](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongin-bora-dong-kalguksu-jjukkumi-baby-meal/yongin-bora-dong-kalguksu-jjukkumi-baby-meal-04-1el1m-900.webp) ## The weekday lunch atmosphere The place was really spacious, with group tables and plenty of seating further inside. We visited a bit past the weekday lunch rush and there were still lots of people out eating with their parents. And honestly, the menu is exactly the kind of thing older generations love. Octopus with kalguksu? Impossible to resist. ![Yubok Kalguksu's menu board with prices](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongin-bora-dong-kalguksu-jjukkumi-baby-meal/yongin-bora-dong-kalguksu-jjukkumi-baby-meal-05-17k0e-900.webp) ## What we ordered and how much it cost The Yubok Kalguksu menu! There's a plain kalguksu option, but the octopus reviews were so good. So we went with the set that lets you try everything — - Kalguksu-octopus set, ₩15,000 (2 servings) - Octopus stir-fry, ₩13,000 - King meat dumplings, ₩7,000 - Free baby rice That's what we ordered! My husband and I both eat a lot and love trying a bit of everything. ![Table tablet ordering screen](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongin-bora-dong-kalguksu-jjukkumi-baby-meal/yongin-bora-dong-kalguksu-jjukkumi-baby-meal-06-1akh0-900.webp) Ordering is done via tablet at each table, from order all the way to payment. There's also a cash option, so you can pay after your meal on your way out. Oh, and Toss pay is available too, if you want to pay after eating. ![Free baby rice topped with sesame oil and furikake](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongin-bora-dong-kalguksu-jjukkumi-baby-meal/yongin-bora-dong-kalguksu-jjukkumi-baby-meal-07-263bk-900.webp) ### There's free baby rice The free baby rice comes with sesame oil and furikake sprinkled on top — the kalguksu could probably work too, but rice is just different, mm-mm. Found another kid-friendly restaurant, love it. The self-serve bar even has kids' spoons and forks. ![Plate of clams and omandungi for the kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongin-bora-dong-kalguksu-jjukkumi-baby-meal/yongin-bora-dong-kalguksu-jjukkumi-baby-meal-08-1s5vs-900.webp) ![A plate of stir-fried octopus](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongin-bora-dong-kalguksu-jjukkumi-baby-meal/yongin-bora-dong-kalguksu-jjukkumi-baby-meal-09-7g2wa-900.webp) ![Barley rice and radish salad served with the set](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongin-bora-dong-kalguksu-jjukkumi-baby-meal/yongin-bora-dong-kalguksu-jjukkumi-baby-meal-10-fdcbt-m-900.webp) ![Full table spread of the kalguksu-octopus set](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongin-bora-dong-kalguksu-jjukkumi-baby-meal/yongin-bora-dong-kalguksu-jjukkumi-baby-meal-11-1rmp1-900.webp) ## What's in the kalguksu-octopus set, and how it tasted You get clams, mussel-like sea squirts (omandungi), oysters, and vegetables to cook into the kalguksu, plus barley rice to mix with the stir-fried octopus as part of the set — and the portion is generous, more than you'd expect from a 'set.' Mixing in the radish salad too made it even better, nice and crunchy! Honestly, I liked the octopus even more than the kalguksu!! I'm basically declaring this a top octopus spot in Yongin (who asked, lol). The sauce had this sweet edge that really woke up my appetite, which magically made the kalguksu taste even better too. Once the kalguksu arrives, you add in the seafood that came with it and boil it for 3 minutes using the hourglass timer before eating. ![Barley rice mixed with octopus sauce as bibimbap](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongin-bora-dong-kalguksu-jjukkumi-baby-meal/yongin-bora-dong-kalguksu-jjukkumi-baby-meal-12-ftrlv-900.webp) ![A bite of kalguksu with kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongin-bora-dong-kalguksu-jjukkumi-baby-meal/yongin-bora-dong-kalguksu-jjukkumi-baby-meal-13-rlb45-900.webp) One bite of kalguksu wrapped in kimchi, then a bite of the octopus bibimbap — ahh, this is what a carb party feels like. Full-on dopamine, 🎉🎉 ![Pot of pufferfish broth kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongin-bora-dong-kalguksu-jjukkumi-baby-meal/yongin-bora-dong-kalguksu-jjukkumi-baby-meal-14-dak7o-623.webp) They say the broth is made with pufferfish, which somehow made it taste even better haha. ![Refreshing seafood kalguksu broth full of clams](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongin-bora-dong-kalguksu-jjukkumi-baby-meal/yongin-bora-dong-kalguksu-jjukkumi-baby-meal-15-oxts9-900.webp) ### How was it for a hangover? The kalguksu was definitely refreshing thanks to all the shellfish! They say the noodles are handmade, but honestly they weren't that especially chewy haha... Still, seeing a staff member carry in a sack of flour made me feel like this place takes it seriously, so I ate it all up. But the broth was genuinely so refreshing, perfect for a hangover haha. I'm hungover literally every day, ugh. ![Crispy seafood chive pancake](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongin-bora-dong-kalguksu-jjukkumi-baby-meal/yongin-bora-dong-kalguksu-jjukkumi-baby-meal-16-1ryo6-900.webp) ![A plate of king meat dumplings](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongin-bora-dong-kalguksu-jjukkumi-baby-meal/yongin-bora-dong-kalguksu-jjukkumi-baby-meal-17-7cfx5-900.webp) ## Dumplings and seafood chive pancake Next came the dumplings and seafood chive pancake. We really ordered a ton, lol. The seafood chive pancake was completely my style — no flour batter, more like a fritter! This is the kind of taste that makes you think of beer haha. My husband really loved the dumplings. He said the pepper aroma set it apart a bit from store-bought king dumplings, and ate them all by himself haha. ![Emptied bowls of kalguksu and side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongin-bora-dong-kalguksu-jjukkumi-baby-meal/yongin-bora-dong-kalguksu-jjukkumi-baby-meal-18-1nnn8-m-900.webp) We really cleaned every plate. ![Rice puffs from the dessert zone](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongin-bora-dong-kalguksu-jjukkumi-baby-meal/yongin-bora-dong-kalguksu-jjukkumi-baby-meal-19-1qmhh-m-900.webp) ![Self-serve coffee corner using Starbucks beans](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongin-bora-dong-kalguksu-jjukkumi-baby-meal/yongin-bora-dong-kalguksu-jjukkumi-baby-meal-20-1ed1z-m-1200.webp) ![Self-serve bar stocked with ice as well](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongin-bora-dong-kalguksu-jjukkumi-baby-meal/yongin-bora-dong-kalguksu-jjukkumi-baby-meal-21-94leh-900.webp) ![Rice puffs and coffee taken from the dessert zone](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongin-bora-dong-kalguksu-jjukkumi-baby-meal/yongin-bora-dong-kalguksu-jjukkumi-baby-meal-22-1eq32-900.webp) ## There's even a dessert zone There's also a dessert zone, so I grabbed some rice puffs on the way out. They use Starbucks beans for the coffee and even have ice available, so this really is a restaurant that people of all ages can enjoy together! Had a great meal. The broth does taste a bit like tuna sauce (jinmichaek) at times, but the seafood carried it and it was still nice and refreshing. And since they have baby rice for kids to enjoy too, I'd definitely go back!!👍👍 ## Where it is - Yubok Kalguksu Yongin Korean Folk Village Branch (유복칼국수 용인민속촌점) - 24 Minsokchon-ro, 1st floor, Giheung-gu, Yongin-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - 경기도 용인시 기흥구 민속촌로 24 1층 - 37.2547667, 127.1072278 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%9C%A0%EB%B3%B5%EC%B9%BC%EA%B5%AD%EC%88%98%20%EC%9A%A9%EC%9D%B8%EB%AF%BC%EC%86%8D%EC%B4%8C%EC%A0%90/@37.2547667,127.1072278,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@parking-lot-lunches/yongin-bora-dong-kalguksu-jjukkumi-baby-meal/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
