A couple came for weekend lunch to cure a hangover with a medium bossam, spicy bone kalguksu and thin-skinned dumplings, switched to daytime drinks instead, and were given a pot of hot broth on the house to dip the bossam in. The spicy bone kalguksu, whose broth shifts through three stages as you eat, is the real draw at Pyeongidambaek. ## Good to know - **Location**: 84 Yanghwa-ro 7-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul (between Hapjeong and Mangwon) - **Ordered**: Bossam (medium), spicy bone kalguksu, thin-skinned dumplings - **On the house**: Hot broth when you order extra drinks - **Visited**: Weekend lunchtime (every table full) *as written by the visitor on Sep 24, 2026* ## Pyeongidambaek in Hapjeong: a hangover lunch that turned into day drinking Pyeongidambaek Ppyeo Kalguksu Main Branch is a bossam and bone kalguksu spot you can walk to from Hapjeong Station all the way to Mangwon Market. This weekend my boyfriend and I decided to do a proper Seoul date for once. Mangwon Market has been hot lately so we made a last-minute call to check it out~ Should we start with snacks or go for a real meal?! While deciding, the fact that we'd overdone it drinking with him yesterday came to mind, and suddenly hot broth sounded perfect haha. So here's my review of visiting Pyeongidambaek Ppyeo Kalguksu, a bossam spot in Hapjeong, as our weekend hangover-cure-slash-date course. ![Visit photo at Pyeongidambaek Ppyeo Kalguksu Main Branch in Hapjeong](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-bone-kalguksu-daytime-drinks/hapjeong-bone-kalguksu-daytime-drinks-01-ii1u5-900.webp) ## Where Pyeongidambaek is: an easy walk from Hapjeong Station to Mangwon Market Pyeongidambaek Ppyeo Kalguksu in Hapjeong sits between Hapjeong and Mangwon. We actually got off at Hapjeong Station and walked over. After eating, it's also a great spot to keep walking toward Mangwon Market~ #couplefoodie we actually ate and walked it off ![Exterior of Pyeongidambaek Ppyeo Kalguksu Main Branch between Hapjeong and Mangwon](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-bone-kalguksu-daytime-drinks/hapjeong-bone-kalguksu-daytime-drinks-02-cx3lo-899.webp) ![Vertical shot of the entrance of Pyeongidambaek Ppyeo Kalguksu Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-bone-kalguksu-daytime-drinks/hapjeong-bone-kalguksu-daytime-drinks-03-ukdar-900.webp) ![Street view of Pyeongidambaek Ppyeo Kalguksu on the way to Mangwon Market](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-bone-kalguksu-daytime-drinks/hapjeong-bone-kalguksu-daytime-drinks-04-1po79-m-900.webp) ![Front of Pyeongidambaek Ppyeo Kalguksu Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-bone-kalguksu-daytime-drinks/hapjeong-bone-kalguksu-daytime-drinks-05-1cjik-900.webp) ## What is Pyeongidambaek like at weekend lunch? Here's the inside of Pyeongidambaek Ppyeo Kalguksu, a solid bossam spot. It was weekend lunch time so every table was packed. I even spotted some foreign visitors, but luckily there was a seat toward the back so we grabbed it. #hotspot felt like we came to the right place haha ![Interior of Pyeongidambaek Ppyeo Kalguksu packed with weekend lunch guests](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-bone-kalguksu-daytime-drinks/hapjeong-bone-kalguksu-daytime-drinks-06-7r60d-900.webp) ![Bright and clean interior of Pyeongidambaek Ppyeo Kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-bone-kalguksu-daytime-drinks/hapjeong-bone-kalguksu-daytime-drinks-07-h3a4t-900.webp) You could tell they care about clean cutlery — the whole place was bright and tidy overall. Saw a 2024 award mentioned too. ![Table at Pyeongidambaek Ppyeo Kalguksu with an award notice](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-bone-kalguksu-daytime-drinks/hapjeong-bone-kalguksu-daytime-drinks-08-7tyqb-900.webp) ![Table setting at Pyeongidambaek Ppyeo Kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-bone-kalguksu-daytime-drinks/hapjeong-bone-kalguksu-daytime-drinks-09-1dy3z-900.webp) ![Side dishes served after ordering](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-bone-kalguksu-daytime-drinks/hapjeong-bone-kalguksu-daytime-drinks-10-120om-900.webp) Once we ordered, they brought out the side dishes, and even the colors looked gorgeous. ![Glossy medium-size bossam plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-bone-kalguksu-daytime-drinks/hapjeong-bone-kalguksu-daytime-drinks-11-6wuic-1200.webp) ## Bossam, medium size: glossy, tender pork with no gamey smell The bossam (medium) arrived and it was glistening even just visually~ (#the meat-to-fat ratio was fantastic) No gamey smell at all, the meat was so tender and soft. ![Close-up of tender bossam meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-bone-kalguksu-daytime-drinks/hapjeong-bone-kalguksu-daytime-drinks-12-4gdt7-900.webp) ![A slice of bossam with a good meat-to-fat ratio](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-bone-kalguksu-daytime-drinks/hapjeong-bone-kalguksu-daytime-drinks-13-1wa95-900.webp) ## Spicy bone kalguksu: piled with egg ribbons and two big pork bones Second contender? The spicy bone kalguksu (pork bone noodle soup) showed up. At first glance you've got a milky broth topped with chili paste, and finely julienned egg garnish piled up high on top~ #the chef must be a master with the knife ![Spicy bone kalguksu piled high with egg ribbon garnish](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-bone-kalguksu-daytime-drinks/hapjeong-bone-kalguksu-daytime-drinks-14-1axnr-900.webp) ![Spicy bone kalguksu broth topped with chili paste](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-bone-kalguksu-daytime-drinks/hapjeong-bone-kalguksu-daytime-drinks-15-1j9vp-900.webp) When I lifted the meat, huh? There were two hefty bone chunks in there, with a good amount of meat still attached, and it was so tender. Dip it in the house special sauce and it's got that savory umami kick — really solid. ![Two large bone chunks with meat inside the bone kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-bone-kalguksu-daytime-drinks/hapjeong-bone-kalguksu-daytime-drinks-16-8nltx-900.webp) ![Kalguksu meat dipped in the house special sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-bone-kalguksu-daytime-drinks/hapjeong-bone-kalguksu-daytime-drinks-17-119wn-900.webp) ### How the bone kalguksu broth changes through three stages The real hook of the spicy bone kalguksu is definitely the broth~ It transforms in three stages haha. It starts off with a deep, long-simmered meaty broth flavor, and once you stir in the seasoning packet, a gentle spicy kick gets added. This is exactly where our hangover-cure plan turned into day drinking 🤣 By the last stage, the broth gets richer and thicker, showing off yet another flavor~ The taste shifts little by little, so it's worth enjoying each stage for its own charm. ![Kalguksu broth turned spicy after stirring in the seasoning packet](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-bone-kalguksu-daytime-drinks/hapjeong-bone-kalguksu-daytime-drinks-18-mduea-900.webp) ![Thickened kalguksu broth with noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-bone-kalguksu-daytime-drinks/hapjeong-bone-kalguksu-daytime-drinks-19-1vm32-900.webp) ![A bowl of spicy bone kalguksu enjoyed with day drinks](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-bone-kalguksu-daytime-drinks/hapjeong-bone-kalguksu-daytime-drinks-20-14l0i-900.webp) ## Thin-skinned dumplings: somewhere between steamed and boiled Pick Pyeongidambaek Ppyeo Kalguksu's review event, and thin-skinned dumplings show up — somewhere between steamed and boiled dumplings? That moist, with the filling packed inside, and you could taste the crunch of the vegetables too. #my vote is these are handmade ![Thin-skinned dumplings received through the review event](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-bone-kalguksu-daytime-drinks/hapjeong-bone-kalguksu-daytime-drinks-21-1xca8-900.webp) ![Cross-section of a dumpling packed full of filling](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-bone-kalguksu-daytime-drinks/hapjeong-bone-kalguksu-daytime-drinks-22-1lvys-900.webp) ## Order a drink, get free broth for dipping the bossam And when we ordered more alcohol, they even brought us hot broth on the house, and this F-type over here got so touched haha. This was my boyfriend's idea — dipping the bossam briefly in the hot broth warmed the meat back up and made it even moister and tastier~ he really knows his food, that boyfriend 👍 ![Bossam meat dipped in the complimentary broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-bone-kalguksu-daytime-drinks/hapjeong-bone-kalguksu-daytime-drinks-23-1q06r-900.webp) ## Mangwon Market ended up being a window-shopping stroll We clearly set out to feast at Mangwon Market, but we ended up eating so thoroughly at Pyeongidambaek Ppyeo Kalguksu, a great bossam spot in Hapjeong, that we only walked through the market to look around haha. Every dish had a clean, savory flavor, and I want to visit again just to try the other menu items. Would definitely recommend giving it a visit. ![Table after finishing the meal at Pyeongidambaek Ppyeo Kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-bone-kalguksu-daytime-drinks/hapjeong-bone-kalguksu-daytime-drinks-24-1jpvc-900.webp) ## Where it is - Pyeongidambaek Ppyeo Kalguksu Main Branch (평이담백 뼈칼국수 본점) - 84 Yanghwa-ro 7-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 마포구 양화로7길 84 - 37.5543398, 126.9138305 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%8F%89%EC%9D%B4%EB%8B%B4%EB%B0%B1%20%EB%BC%88%EC%B9%BC%EA%B5%AD%EC%88%98%20%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@37.5543398,126.9138305,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@seoul-free-hours/hapjeong-bone-kalguksu-daytime-drinks/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
