Where is Sinju Okmi Gangnam Branch? Walking there from Gangnam or Yeoksam Station

What the Sinju Okmi storefront looks like

Sinju Okmi is a Gangnam Station sundaeguk restaurant located near the Gangnam Tax Office. It's close to both Gangnam Station and Yeoksam Station. Coming from Gangnam Station, take Exit 3, turn left at the Krispy Kreme alley, and walk about 300 meters. Coming from Yeoksam Station, take Exit 3, go straight to the Hana Bank Gangnam branch, turn left into the alley, and walk 153 meters.

It's on the 1st floor, so it's really easy to get to and easy to find. Parking is free, and if you use the valet it's ₩3,000 haha. It's hard to find a good restaurant near Gangnam Station with parking, so this was a big plus.

Inside Sinju Okmi Gangnam Branch: a wide hall with baby chairs

Seating and table layout at Sinju Okmi

The interior is really spacious, and there are baby chairs too, so it's great for bringing a baby along.

Maybe because it's newly opened, it's really clean, and spacious and pleasant for a meal.

Banchan and the self-serve side dish bar

Neat, clean side dishes.

Just tasting that cubed radish kimchi alone gives you the feeling this soup is going to be good, hahahahaha.

If you run out of side dishes, you can grab more from this self-serve bar.

True to a good Korean restaurant, the kimchi and sauces are all delicious ㅠㅠㅠ

There's also salt and other seasonings right on the table so you can adjust the flavor to your taste.

Being able to eat this well and this affordably near Gangnam Station is great — it's really good for solo dining too! Hahaha

Freshly boiled pork suyuk, half plate: domestic pork boiled four times a day

The suyuk half plate. This place uses domestic pork slaughtered the same day and boils it four times a day, and the freshness really came through — the meat was tender and really delicious.

Myeongin Sundaeguk suyuk set: how rich is the broth?

The sundaeguk I'd been looking forward to. The broth was definitely rich and delicious, and the fillings were really generous too, so much so that this alone could fill you up.

A proper, piping hot sundaeguk done right.

You know that adding a generous amount of perilla seed powder makes it so much nuttier and tastier, right, haha.

The sundae (blood sausage) was really big and delicious, and the meat was tender with no gamey taste — really good.

I liked that the rice comes served separately rather than already mixed into the soup, haha.

If you're looking for a Korean restaurant or a sundaeguk restaurant near Gangnam Station, I definitely recommend giving Sinju Okmi a try!! Haha
