The order was buckwheat clam kalguksu (knife-cut noodle soup) for two plus a king mandu (large dumpling) stuffed with neungi mushroom, with the clean pollack-and-clam broth turned spicy by stirring in dadegi (chili seasoning paste) at the end. Waits are common at Seonbawi Memil Jangteo, so registering on the Catch Table app first helps, and the mild, unfussy food suits a light lunch. ## Good to know - **Location**: 3-minute walk from Yangjae Citizens' Forest Station Exit 2, near Yangjae aT Center and Yangjae Flower Market - **Hours**: Daily 09:00 - 21:00 - **Parking**: A few spaces in front of the restaurant; Yangjae Neighborhood Park public parking lot recommended when full - **Waiting**: Waits are common; register your number on Catch Table - **What was ordered**: Buckwheat clam kalguksu for two, king mandu - **Seating**: Tables for two, tables for four and group seating - **Groups**: Group visits possible (call to ask) *as written by the visitor on Sep 21, 2026* ![Exterior of Seonbawi Memil Jangteo Yangjae Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-memil-clam-kalguksu-catchtable/yangjae-memil-clam-kalguksu-catchtable-01-1fbel-1200.webp) ![Entrance view of Memil Jangteo Yangjae Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-memil-clam-kalguksu-catchtable/yangjae-memil-clam-kalguksu-catchtable-02-7k5m3-966.webp) I was looking for a lunch spot around Yangjae and ended up at Seonbawi Memil Jangteo (선바위메밀장터) Yangjae Branch~~~ It's close to Yangjae Station, Yangjae Citizens' Forest, and Yangjae Flower Market, so it's a buckwheat noodle restaurant worth knowing if you're looking for somewhere to eat in the area (≧∇≦)ﾉ Especially if you're after a Yangjae Citizens' Forest lunch spot or a Yangjae Citizens' Forest restaurant with something light and clean on the menu, this place fits perfectly!!! ## Where is Seonbawi Memil Jangteo Yangjae, and where do you park? ![Street in front of the store near Yangjae Citizens' Forest Exit 2](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-memil-clam-kalguksu-catchtable/yangjae-memil-clam-kalguksu-catchtable-03-vbogy-966.webp) ![Parking space in front of the store](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-memil-clam-kalguksu-catchtable/yangjae-memil-clam-kalguksu-catchtable-04-1wrsf-966.webp) It's about a 3-minute walk from Yangjae Citizens' Forest Exit 2, and near Yangjae aT Center and Yangjae Flower Market, so it's great for a meal after a walk if you have errands nearby!! There's a small parking space in front of the store, but not many spots, so if you're driving it's worth keeping in mind~~~ It's a popular spot with waits, so register a number with Catch Table quickly!! When it's full, I'd recommend Yangjae Neighborhood Park public parking lot 👍 ## Opening hours and restaurant details Seonbawi Memil Jangteo Yangjae Branch is open daily 09:00–21:00. It's a great place to visit on a day when you want something clean and mild rather than spicy haha On weekdays it'd suit Yangjae office workers for lunch, and on weekends it works well as a meal after visiting Yangjae Citizens' Forest or Yangjae Flower Market~~ Group visits are possible too, so ask when you go ♪(^∇^*) If you're looking for a good Yangjae lunch spot, or a Yangjae Citizens' Forest lunch menu like kalguksu (noodle soup) or makguksu (cold buckwheat noodles), keep this one in mind 💖 ## What is on the menu? ![Seonbawi Memil Jangteo Yangjae Branch menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-memil-clam-kalguksu-catchtable/yangjae-memil-clam-kalguksu-catchtable-05-1jlhn-966.webp) ![Buckwheat clam kalguksu and makguksu menu listing](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-memil-clam-kalguksu-catchtable/yangjae-memil-clam-kalguksu-catchtable-06-m2mgk-966.webp) ![Pure buckwheat makguksu and pollack sashimi suyuk menu listing](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-memil-clam-kalguksu-catchtable/yangjae-memil-clam-kalguksu-catchtable-07-1ftw3-966.webp) Seonbawi Memil Jangteo Yangjae Branch's buckwheat clam kalguksu and king mandu are apparently really popular and well known!!

The broth wasn't the intensely salty type — it felt like the refreshing taste of the clams and the savory flavor of dried pollack came together just right~~ On top of that, the buckwheat noodles' distinct clean, nutty flavor blended in naturally, giving it a bit of a different charm from regular kalguksu ( •̀ .̫ •́ )✧ ![Buckwheat noodles being lifted from the bowl](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-memil-clam-kalguksu-catchtable/yangjae-memil-clam-kalguksu-catchtable-15-1d05n-966.webp) ![Light buckwheat kalguksu noodles and broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-memil-clam-kalguksu-catchtable/yangjae-memil-clam-kalguksu-catchtable-16-10dpn-966.webp) The noodles weren't heavy when eaten with the broth, they were light, so my chopsticks kept going back for more~~~ Best of all, picking the clams out one by one and piling up the shells was kind of fun too!!!! ![Clam shells picked and stacked up](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-memil-clam-kalguksu-catchtable/yangjae-memil-clam-kalguksu-catchtable-17-6g057-966.webp) ![Spooning up the clam broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-memil-clam-kalguksu-catchtable/yangjae-memil-clam-kalguksu-catchtable-18-17mf1-966.webp) The refreshing flavor from the clams had really soaked into the broth, so after the noodles I kept spooning up the broth too 💞 ![King mandu served alongside the kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-memil-clam-kalguksu-catchtable/yangjae-memil-clam-kalguksu-catchtable-19-1s821-966.webp) ![Cross-section of the neungi mushroom king mandu, packed with filling](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-memil-clam-kalguksu-catchtable/yangjae-memil-clam-kalguksu-catchtable-20-n6svj-966.webp) ### King mandu stuffed with neungi mushroom It felt like a shame to eat just the kalguksu, so I ordered the king mandu (dumpling) too!! Inside the dumpling skin was packed with meat and neungi mushroom, filling it right up haha Taking a bite, the moist filling along with the subtle, distinct aroma of neungi mushroom hit exactly my taste ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Unlike a regular meat-only mandu, adding the neungi mushroom made the aroma much deeper!! It went well with the kalguksu broth too, so it was nice to have a bite of mandu in between the noodles~~~~ The buckwheat clam kalguksu and king mandu together made a light yet filling combination, a satisfying meal without weighing down your stomach!!! ![Table with kalguksu and king mandu together](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-memil-clam-kalguksu-catchtable/yangjae-memil-clam-kalguksu-catchtable-21-17dh3-m-966.webp) ![Kalguksu broth turned spicy with dadegi stirred in](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-memil-clam-kalguksu-catchtable/yangjae-memil-clam-kalguksu-catchtable-22-x2uzg-966.webp) ![Finishing a bowl of buckwheat kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-memil-clam-kalguksu-catchtable/yangjae-memil-clam-kalguksu-catchtable-23-1uvud-966.webp) ## Best tip: stir dadegi into the broth at the end If you're looking for a Yangjae Citizens' Forest restaurant with a filling menu everyone can enjoy, Seonbawi Memil Jangteo Yangjae Branch with its buckwheat menu is a great pick 💓 Stirring dadegi (chili paste) in at the end turns the broth spicy and deep — that's a tasty tip ![Table setting at the end of the meal at Seonbawi Memil Jangteo Yangjae Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-memil-clam-kalguksu-catchtable/yangjae-memil-clam-kalguksu-catchtable-24-15emr-966.webp) For kalguksu with a refreshing broth generously packed with clams, I'd recommend this for a Yangjae lunch!! ## Where it is - Seonbawi Memil Jangteo Yangjae Branch (선바위메밀장터) - 15-11 Gangnam-daero 18-gil, Seocho-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 서초구 강남대로18길 15-11 메밀장터 양재점 - 37.4724706, 127.0395951 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%84%A0%EB%B0%94%EC%9C%84%EB%A9%94%EB%B0%80%EC%9E%A5%ED%84%B0/@37.4724706,127.0395951,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@seoul-cafe-sill/yangjae-memil-clam-kalguksu-catchtable/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
