Maybe that's why it was so crunchy and tasty that I kept eating it alongside the galbitang!haha ![Self-serve corner with rice and misugaru](https://img.superchart.com/images/hoegi-wang-galbitang-lunch-arongsatae/hoegi-wang-galbitang-lunch-arongsatae-14-h3w06-900.webp) And the self-serve corner has rice and side dishes, plus 17-grain misugaru (roasted grain drink) and barley gangjeong (crispy sweet snack)!! Rice is unlimited, and the misugaru and gangjeong are free too~ Wait, I came for galbitang and they're giving me snacks and dessert too? First time seeing that~haha ![A cup of 17-grain misugaru and barley gangjeong](https://img.superchart.com/images/hoegi-wang-galbitang-lunch-arongsatae/hoegi-wang-galbitang-lunch-arongsatae-15-gbjkk-900.webp) The barley gangjeong was crispy and nutty, and the misugaru had a deep, toasty grain flavor that was really good. I actually drank two cups of misugaru because it was so tasty,,! hehe ## Energy-boosting galbitang with two ribs, 16,000 won The galbitang has finally arrived!! ![Wonkihoebok galbitang topped with two large ribs](https://img.superchart.com/images/hoegi-wang-galbitang-lunch-arongsatae/hoegi-wang-galbitang-lunch-arongsatae-16-2o8dz-900.webp) Whoa... the size of the ribs catches your eye first! There were two whole big ribs!! And it was topped with plenty of scallion and egg garnish, so the visuals were on point from the start~~ ![Galbitang topped with plenty of scallion and egg garnish](https://img.superchart.com/images/hoegi-wang-galbitang-lunch-arongsatae/hoegi-wang-galbitang-lunch-arongsatae-17-13ya1-900.webp) The meat came off easily with just a slight tug of the chopsticks — it was cooked perfectly — and the broth was refreshing and clean! It wasn't too intense, so it was great for mixing with rice too. There were also plenty of glass noodles inside, and eating them together with the meat made it even tastier~! ![Galbitang with black pepper sprinkled on top, with glass noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/hoegi-wang-galbitang-lunch-arongsatae/hoegi-wang-galbitang-lunch-arongsatae-18-xlu6y-900.webp) Achoo achoo! Adding some black pepper before eating~haha ## Aronsatae galbitang loaded with beef shank, 19,000 won ![A bowl of meat-loaded aronsatae galbitang](https://img.superchart.com/images/hoegi-wang-galbitang-lunch-arongsatae/hoegi-wang-galbitang-lunch-arongsatae-19-14vor-900.webp) And true to its name, this one is really loaded with meat!! With a big rib plus aronsatae (beef shank) on top, it looked hearty from the moment it arrived! ![Aronsatae meat with soy sauce and mustard dipping sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/hoegi-wang-galbitang-lunch-arongsatae/hoegi-wang-galbitang-lunch-arongsatae-20-3xhip-900.webp) The aronsatae wasn't tough at all — it was tender, and dipping it into the soy sauce and mustard sauce was so tasty! This dish also has bean sprouts in it, which made the broth taste even more refreshing! ![Aronsatae galbitang broth with bean sprouts](https://img.superchart.com/images/hoegi-wang-galbitang-lunch-arongsatae/hoegi-wang-galbitang-lunch-arongsatae-21-1anab-900.webp) ![Glass noodles and bean sprouts lifted out of the galbitang](https://img.superchart.com/images/hoegi-wang-galbitang-lunch-arongsatae/hoegi-wang-galbitang-lunch-arongsatae-22-1j7l2-900.webp) The crunchy texture of the bean sprouts gave it a different charm from the regular galbitang~ There's plenty of glass noodles here too, so between the meat, noodles, and broth, I ended up completely full!haha ## Verdict: is Hoegi Wang Galbitang worth it for lunch? Overall, after eating, I thought, "Ah, I really had a hearty meal~!" Big ribs, tender meat, plenty of glass noodles, and a broth that was refreshing and clean — very satisfying! Especially with unlimited rice refills plus free barley gangjeong and misugaru, it felt like they took care of both the meal and dessert haha ![An empty bowl of galbitang after finishing the meal at Hoegi Wang Galbitang](https://img.superchart.com/images/hoegi-wang-galbitang-lunch-arongsatae/hoegi-wang-galbitang-lunch-arongsatae-23-7o7da-900.webp) If you're near Hoegi Station looking for a hearty meal, near Kyung Hee University trying to decide on Korean food, or looking for good restaurants in Hwigyeong-dong for lunch, this place is worth stopping by!
