## In short

Sinju Okmi Gangnam Branch is a 24-hour sundaeguk (pork and blood sausage soup) and intestine soup restaurant on Teheran-ro 10-gil near Gangnam Station in Seoul. Fighting a cold, the writer came on a weekend for the special spicy bracken mixed-intestine gukbap and the sanghwang mushroom master sundaeguk, along with the heotgae tea served instead of water and unlimited side dishes from the self-bar. The spicy intestine gukbap ran hot for anyone weak with chili, but the sanghwang mushroom sundaeguk had no gamey smell and was worth finishing with rice stirred in.

## Why a cold sent the writer back to Sinju Okmi near Gangnam Station

Sinju Okmi Gangnam Branch is a 24-hour sundaeguk (blood sausage soup) restaurant on Teheran-ro 10-gil near Gangnam Station, and this time I went back on a weekend because I had a cold and wanted something hot and soupy. With the temperature swings lately, I properly caught a cold and flu. Usually I bounce back in two days, but this one dragged past a week. I meant to stay home this weekend, but cooking felt like too much effort and I really wanted hot soup, so I came back to Sinju Okmi. As I've said before, the sundaeguk here is genuinely clean-tasting and delicious — I raved about it last time. Even though it hasn't been open that long, it's already become known as a Gangnam Station favorite, with waits even on weekday lunches, apparently.

## Inside Sinju Okmi Gangnam and its round-the-clock opening hours

Sinju Okmi definitely has a more upscale interior than most sundaeguk restaurants — it almost feels like a nice hanjeongsik (Korean set-meal) restaurant. The inside is very spacious, and it was busy even on the weekend, so I just snapped a photo of an empty table. It looks great for group gatherings, work dinners, or family meals. Except for a few hours between Sunday and Monday, it's open 24 hours a day, no days off, no break time, so you can drop by whenever — a real Gangnam Station go-to. Parking and corkage (paid) are also available.

We'd made a reservation, and we were seated at a window table looking out.

### The self-bar at Sinju Okmi, built around a well

My favorite spot in the place was this self-bar. Being able to grab as many side dishes as I wanted was great, of course, but that well in the corner is just so cool-looking that I kept staring at it. There are a few more side dishes beyond what they bring you at first, so I'd recommend swinging by the self-bar again partway through your meal.

## What is on the menu at Sinju Okmi Gangnam

Sinju Okmi Gangnam Branch is a Gangnam Station spot with a wide range of sundaeguk (blood sausage soup) styles. Since I was sick, I figured I might as well eat something restorative. There's also pork gukbap, intestine soup, sundae (Korean blood sausage), suyuk (boiled pork), and grated potato pancake, plus a kids-friendly king pork cutlet — and ordering the set menu gets you a slightly better price, which is what a lot of people seemed to order. Being selected for the 2024 Blue Ribbon Survey only raised my expectations even more! Also, for the gukbap you can ask for sundae-only or meat-only without any special request needed.

Freshly boiled pork comes out four times a day: 10am, 12pm, 4pm, and 6pm. They say leaving a Naver receipt review gets you a ₩4,000 purple sweet potato rice puff snack.

### Heotgae tea served instead of water

Instead of water, they serve heotgae (raisin tree) tea, which is supposedly good for fatigue recovery, reducing swelling, and quenching thirst — and honestly, that's exactly the tea for me right now.

![Heotgae tea poured into a cup](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-sundaeguk-offal-mushroom-bowls/gangnam-sundaeguk-offal-mushroom-bowls-13-1hnla-900.webp)

I had a nutty, warm cup before the food arrived.

The side dishes are similar to any other gukbap restaurant — peppers, onion, kkakdugi (cubed radish kimchi), and radish salad — but the kkakdugi had a nice spicy kick that was surprisingly good.

> Mixed intestine gukbap

## How spicy is the special spicy bracken mixed-intestine gukbap?

The full name is the special spicy bracken mixed-intestine gukbap, and it really is spicy, just as advertised. You get pork intestine (osori-gopchang style), gopchang, and head meat all in one bowl, so it works as a meal or as drinking food. I was honestly surprised by how much stuff was packed in. I'm a total spice-wimp, so it was spicier than I expected and I couldn't finish the broth, but once I got home I found myself craving it again. The broth had a strong savory depth, the bracken added nice aroma and softness, and the intestines alone were enough to fill me up.

> Mushroom master sundaeguk

## Is the sanghwang mushroom master sundaeguk good when you have a cold?

The mushroom master sundaeguk is apparently made with top-grade sanghwang mushroom, meant for people who need recovery and an energy boost — which already sounds pretty special, right? If you want more chives, just hit the self-bar. The broth has this good-for-you, herbal-medicine kind of aroma. It felt like finishing the whole bowl might actually cure my cold, so I mixed in rice and scraped the bowl clean. It's packed with a generous amount of ingredients, and the meat, especially the white sundae (blood sausage), was excellent. Clean with no funky smell but deep in flavor — exactly the style of gukbap I like best.

They boil domestically raised pork, slaughtered that same day, four times a day — of course it tastes good. If you're looking for a proper sundaeguk restaurant, give Sinju Okmi near Gangnam Station a try. I ate well and left feeling completely full.
