My husband and I went to Boseung Hoegwan Cheonho Station Branch (보승회관 천호역점) for a bowl of gukbap on the weekend. It was just a short walk from Exit 3 of Cheonho Station, so it was easy to reach by public transit. The address is Unit 1, 1F, 654 Olympic-ro, Gangdong-gu, Seoul, South Korea. At the time of our visit, it was listed as open 24 hours daily. Parking, free corkage, and group dining were available, and Naver reservations were listed for groups of 4–34. ![Boseung Hoegwan near Cheonho Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/boseung-hoegwan-cheonho-gukbap/boseung-hoegwan-cheonho-gukbap-01-1hop1-900.webp) The restaurant was larger than I expected. At the time of our visit, it was also running a nighttime summer event with discounted soju from 9 p.m. to 9 a.m. the next day. ![Nighttime event notice at Boseung Hoegwan Cheonho branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/boseung-hoegwan-cheonho-gukbap/boseung-hoegwan-cheonho-gukbap-02-iemrt-900.webp) ## Is it comfortable for solo or group meals? There was plenty of waiting space, so even if I had to wait, I would not have needed to stand outside. ![Spacious waiting area at Boseung Hoegwan Cheonho branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/boseung-hoegwan-cheonho-gukbap/boseung-hoegwan-cheonho-gukbap-03-rmlrk-900.webp) There were several kinds of tables inside, with wide gaps between them, which made it comfortable to eat. There were also seats for dining alone, and I saw many solo diners. ![Tables and solo dining seats inside Boseung Hoegwan](https://img.superchart.com/images/boseung-hoegwan-cheonho-gukbap/boseung-hoegwan-cheonho-gukbap-04-1eaaj-900.webp) Tables continued into the back, where there were cushioned sofa seats as well. I thought it would work well for a group meal if tables were joined together. ![Back tables and seating at Boseung Hoegwan](https://img.superchart.com/images/boseung-hoegwan-cheonho-gukbap/boseung-hoegwan-cheonho-gukbap-05-1ul3g-900.webp) ## What gukbap is available, and can one person order the special? ![Gukbap and set-meal menu at Boseung Hoegwan](https://img.superchart.com/images/boseung-hoegwan-cheonho-gukbap/boseung-hoegwan-cheonho-gukbap-06-1gr5p-900.webp) The meal menu included sundae-gukbap, suyuk-gukbap, pork jowl suyuk-gukbap, and giblet gukbap. There were extra-large and spicy options, as well as set meals with small portions of pyeonyuk (pressed pork) and sundae (Korean blood sausage). Naengmyeon was available as a seasonal dish. ![Meal and alcohol-menu information at Boseung Hoegwan](https://img.superchart.com/images/boseung-hoegwan-cheonho-gukbap/boseung-hoegwan-cheonho-gukbap-07-k4qy3-900.webp) For dishes to have with alcohol, there were gamjatang, sundae-gopchang-jeongol, suyuk, and sulguk. ![Alcohol dishes and set-menu information at Boseung Hoegwan](https://img.superchart.com/images/boseung-hoegwan-cheonho-gukbap/boseung-hoegwan-cheonho-gukbap-08-1c49w-900.webp) The set meal required an order for at least two people, but the special could be ordered for one person. We ordered the one-person sundae-guk special and basic giblet gukbap. ## How were the side dishes and the sundae and pyeonyuk in the special? ![Basic accompaniments served with gukbap at Boseung Hoegwan](https://img.superchart.com/images/boseung-hoegwan-cheonho-gukbap/boseung-hoegwan-cheonho-gukbap-09-kgr25-900.webp) The basic spread included chives, kimchi, kkakdugi, jeotgal, and salt. I do not usually like kimchi much, but I liked the kimchi here enough to get a refill. ![Basic side dishes with a Boseung Hoegwan meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/boseung-hoegwan-cheonho-gukbap/boseung-hoegwan-cheonho-gukbap-10-zf7sm-900.webp) The special came with three kinds of sundae and pyeonyuk. I had gone a long time without eating and was very hungry, so it was good for taking the edge off before the gukbap. ![Sundae and pyeonyuk served with the Boseung special](https://img.superchart.com/images/boseung-hoegwan-cheonho-gukbap/boseung-hoegwan-cheonho-gukbap-11-ub4dd-900.webp) There were two pieces of each kind, so it was easy for the two of us to share. The pyeonyuk was chewy, light, and savory. ![Sundae and pyeonyuk shared by two people](https://img.superchart.com/images/boseung-hoegwan-cheonho-gukbap/boseung-hoegwan-cheonho-gukbap-12-1lh8z-900.webp) The sundae reminded me of the Cheonan-style sundae that I like, so I enjoyed it. ## How were the fillings and seasoning in the giblet gukbap and sundae-guk? The giblet gukbap arrived bubbling hot. When ordering, I could choose to leave out ddaegi seasoning paste, scallions, and perilla seed powder; I ordered it with all three. ![Giblet gukbap ordered with all seasonings](https://img.superchart.com/images/boseung-hoegwan-cheonho-gukbap/boseung-hoegwan-cheonho-gukbap-13-tbe4u-1200.webp) I could also choose whether to add ddaegi seasoning paste, scallions, and perilla seed powder to the sundae-guk. ![Sundae-guk ordered as a special at Boseung Hoegwan](https://img.superchart.com/images/boseung-hoegwan-cheonho-gukbap/boseung-hoegwan-cheonho-gukbap-14-1s1ly-900.webp) The sundae-guk had plenty of sundae and pork head meat. Since we ordered the extra-large version, it seemed to have more fillings. ![Sundae and pork head meat in Boseung sundae-guk](https://img.superchart.com/images/boseung-hoegwan-cheonho-gukbap/boseung-hoegwan-cheonho-gukbap-15-messc-900.webp) The broth in my giblet gukbap was seasoned just right. It suited my taste without adding salt or salted shrimp. ![Boseung giblet gukbap eaten without extra seasoning](https://img.superchart.com/images/boseung-hoegwan-cheonho-gukbap/boseung-hoegwan-cheonho-gukbap-16-tjln0-900.webp) There were plenty of giblets, and the meat had a good chew. Since I usually like giblets, I was satisfied with it. ![Giblets and meat in Boseung giblet gukbap](https://img.superchart.com/images/boseung-hoegwan-cheonho-gukbap/boseung-hoegwan-cheonho-gukbap-17-msz5q-900.webp) There was also a generous amount of rice, so I mixed some into the soup and ate some separately. It was a good combination with kimchi or kkakdugi. ![Boseung gukbap with rice and kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/boseung-hoegwan-cheonho-gukbap/boseung-hoegwan-cheonho-gukbap-18-sfg0t-900.webp) It was convenient to request water and side dishes with the staff call button. Even though we went a little after the dinner rush, customers kept coming in while we ate. With its tidy interior, spacious seating, and gukbap that suited my taste, I would like to return when I am craving gukbap near Cheonho Station. ## Where it is - Boseung Hoegwan Cheonho Station Branch (보승회관 천호역점) (보승회관 천호역점) - 서울특별시 강동구 올림픽로 654 1층 1호 / Unit 1, 1F, 654 Olympic-ro, Gangdong-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 강동구 올림픽로 654 1층 1호 - 37.5398899, 127.1240645 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%B3%B4%EC%8A%B9%ED%9A%8C%EA%B4%80%20%EC%B2%9C%ED%98%B8%EC%97%AD%EC%A0%90/@37.5398899,127.1240645,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@seoul-at-mealtime/boseung-hoegwan-cheonho-gukbap/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
