This pork-noodle specialist is right beside Handam Beach and Aewol Café Street, so it was easy to visit while exploring western Jeju—and I recommend it because every seat faces the sea! :) ## Handam Guksu Gwakji Aewol Branch: location and parking ![Exterior of Handam Guksu Gwakji Aewol Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/aewol-mala-noodle-handamguksu/aewol-mala-noodle-handamguksu-02-1vamc-966.webp) Most guests come to this popular Handam spot in a rental car or their own car, so it would be a problem if there were nowhere to park. ![Parking space in front of Handam Guksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/aewol-mala-noodle-handamguksu/aewol-mala-noodle-handamguksu-03-1oyqz-966.webp) Parking was available in front of Handam Guksu, and at lunchtime the solo-drinking bar next door was not open, so parking was relatively easy 👍🏻 ## A convenient stop from Handam Beach ![Handam Guksu near Handam Beach](https://img.superchart.com/images/aewol-mala-noodle-handamguksu/aewol-mala-noodle-handamguksu-04-1uare-966.webp) Located at Handam Beach in Aewol, Jeju, it is a nice place to come for a meal after swimming. Afterward, you can look around Aewol Café Street, so it was an Aewol favorite with lots of tourists stopping by. ![Waiting information at Handam Guksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/aewol-mala-noodle-handamguksu/aewol-mala-noodle-handamguksu-05-5sz28-966.webp) It is also famous as a local favorite in Jeju, so there can be a wait at peak times. Catchtable waiting is available, though, and the tables turned over quickly, so we got in soon. ## Can you see the sea from every seat? ![Ocean-view seating inside Handam Guksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/aewol-mala-noodle-handamguksu/aewol-mala-noodle-handamguksu-06-1ffi7-966.webp) 🌊 As befits a Handam ocean-view restaurant, you can look out at the sea no matter where you sit. ![Sofa seating overlooking the sea at Handam Guksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/aewol-mala-noodle-handamguksu/aewol-mala-noodle-handamguksu-07-ghmj2-966.webp) The innermost tables were definitely closest to the sea and had the best view, while the sofa seats near the entrance were better than the middle seats for enjoying a wide ocean view as you ate. :) ![High chairs available at Handam Guksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/aewol-mala-noodle-handamguksu/aewol-mala-noodle-handamguksu-08-y5wy3-966.webp) * Pork noodles are a menu item that children can enjoy too, so there were especially many family groups—and plenty of high chairs to match. ## Pork noodle menu and prices ![Pork noodle menu at Handam Guksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/aewol-mala-noodle-handamguksu/aewol-mala-noodle-handamguksu-09-e8gcf-966.webp) Handam Guksu’s signature dish is, without question, Jeju pork noodles! The rich beef-bone broth is the charm of this dish, and at ₩10,000 it was great value. There were also mala pork noodles, lean-meat gukbap (rice soup), and dongchimi bibim noodles, so everyone could choose something for their taste. ![Photo-review benefit information at Handam Guksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/aewol-mala-noodle-handamguksu/aewol-mala-noodle-handamguksu-10-rl3la-966.webp) 💡 If you participate in a photo review, you can receive tangerine, prickly pear cactus, and green-tea crunch—Jeju specialties. ## From mala pork noodles to dongchimi bibim noodles ![Mala pork noodles at Handam Guksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/aewol-mala-noodle-handamguksu/aewol-mala-noodle-handamguksu-11-1ups2-966.webp) Personally, I’m someone who gets a little tired of regular pork noodles after a while, so I ordered the mala version this time for a change—and it was an absolute gem! ![Self-service side dishes at Handam Guksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/aewol-mala-noodle-handamguksu/aewol-mala-noodle-handamguksu-12-1auud-966.webp) At Handam Guksu, even the basic side-dish setup is self-service, so you can pick out the banchan (Korean side dishes) you want at the self-service bar. ![Generous full table at Handam Guksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/aewol-mala-noodle-handamguksu/aewol-mala-noodle-handamguksu-13-qkbwl-966.webp) And then you have a generous full table like this! Every dish was really plentiful for the price, so even big eaters should be very satisfied ☺️ ![Lean-meat gukbap at Handam Guksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/aewol-mala-noodle-handamguksu/aewol-mala-noodle-handamguksu-14-1gi9j-966.webp) ### Lean-meat gukbap when you want rice instead of noodles Handam Guksu’s lean-meat gukbap is a great order when you are craving rice rather than noodles! As its name suggests, it is loaded with lean meat. ![Handam Guksu gukbap loaded with lean meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/aewol-mala-noodle-handamguksu/aewol-mala-noodle-handamguksu-15-8bo1x-966.webp) ![Beef-bone-based lean-meat gukbap](https://img.superchart.com/images/aewol-mala-noodle-handamguksu/aewol-mala-noodle-handamguksu-16-1fppa-966.webp) It uses the same beef-bone base as the pork noodles, so it was a dish children could enjoy too! It paired best with fresh kimchi, so if you prefer rice to noodles, I recommend trying the lean-meat gukbap. ![A bowl of mala pork noodles at Handam Guksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/aewol-mala-noodle-handamguksu/aewol-mala-noodle-handamguksu-17-1aj1y-966.webp) ### Mala pork noodles if regular pork noodles feel too rich If you have ever found pork noodles a little too rich as you eat, I strongly recommend the mala pork noodles!! The mala flavor was stronger than I expected. ![Pork noodles with a strong mala flavor](https://img.superchart.com/images/aewol-mala-noodle-handamguksu/aewol-mala-noodle-handamguksu-18-tnmnw-966.webp) As someone who loves mala, this unusual pork noodle dish was 100% my kind of thing. ![Mala pork noodles with peanut sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/aewol-mala-noodle-handamguksu/aewol-mala-noodle-handamguksu-19-1xqyh-966.webp) ![Mala noodles topped with thinly sliced meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/aewol-mala-noodle-handamguksu/aewol-mala-noodle-handamguksu-20-1yktm-966.webp) The tingly mala and nutty peanut sauce went beautifully with the beef-bone pork noodles, and the plentiful thinly sliced meat topping made it a satisfying meal. ![Dongchimi bibim noodle dish at Handam Guksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/aewol-mala-noodle-handamguksu/aewol-mala-noodle-handamguksu-21-r97zy-966.webp) ### Dongchimi bibim noodles for hot days When it is hot and a warm dish does not appeal, I recommend Handam Guksu’s dongchimi bibim noodles (mixed noodles with radish-water kimchi broth) ✨️ ![Cool dongchimi bibim noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/aewol-mala-noodle-handamguksu/aewol-mala-noodle-handamguksu-22-1sqn3-966.webp) ![Dongchimi bibim noodles with sweet seasoning](https://img.superchart.com/images/aewol-mala-noodle-handamguksu/aewol-mala-noodle-handamguksu-23-mbrbc-966.webp) This comes with cool dongchimi broth. Although it is bibim noodles, the seasoning is more sweet than spicy, so I think it would be fine to share with children from elementary-school age onward 🤗 ## My overall verdict ![Dining at Handam Guksu by Handam Beach](https://img.superchart.com/images/aewol-mala-noodle-handamguksu/aewol-mala-noodle-handamguksu-24-14dqz-966.webp) Handam Guksu, a Handam Beach favorite where I could have a hearty meal for ₩10,000. It is a good place to visit when you are craving pork noodles during a Jeju trip, and its proximity to places worth visiting in western Jeju made it easy to add to an Aewol itinerary. ## Where it is - Handam Guksu Gwakji Aewol Branch (한담국수 곽지애월점) (한담국수 곽지애월점) - 1F, 33 Aewol-ro, Aewol-eup, Jeju-si, Jeju Special Self-Governing Province, South Korea - 제주특별자치도 제주시 애월읍 애월로 33 1층 - 33.4618312, 126.3120404 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%95%9C%EB%8B%B4%EA%B5%AD%EC%88%98%20%EA%B3%BD%EC%A7%80%EC%95%A0%EC%9B%94%EC%A0%90/@33.4618312,126.3120404,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@saltwind-meals/aewol-mala-noodle-handamguksu/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
