I tried its clam buckwheat noodle soup for 13,000 won and pork king dumplings after browsing the market. Verdict: a comforting, filling meal that went down easily. ## Good to know - **Address**: 15-11 Gangnam-daero 18-gil, Seocho-gu, Seoul, South Korea (242-4 Yangjae-dong) - **Hours**: Daily 09:00–21:00; no break time - **Parking**: Four dedicated spaces in front; Yangjae Neighborhood Park Public Parking Lot recommended when full - **Clam buckwheat noodle soup**: ₩13,000; minimum order of two servings - **Pork king dumplings**: ₩8,000 *as written by the visitor on Sep 10, 2026* ## A warm lunch after browsing the Yangjae Flower Market ![Buckwheat clam kalguksu at Seonbawi Memil Jangteo Yangjae Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-flower-market-buckwheat-noodles/yangjae-flower-market-buckwheat-noodles-01-2k1oh-900.webp) After dropping by the Yangjae Flower Market for the first time in a while and finishing my browse, I was looking for somewhere to settle lunch without feeling weighed down. The weather was quite clear, and as I walked along in a good mood, I suddenly found myself craving a warm broth that would sit gently in my stomach, you know? I heard that a buckwheat specialist well known in Gwacheon had just opened nearby, so I headed straight over. ![Buckwheat specialty restaurant near Yangjae Flower Market](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-flower-market-buckwheat-noodles/yangjae-flower-market-buckwheat-noodles-02-175d0-900.webp) I have had plenty of regular flour clam kalguksu (knife-cut noodle soup), but this was my first time trying it with buckwheat noodles, so I was curious. From the newly renovated standalone building to the spacious dining room, everything felt clean and uncluttered. When the food arrived, I could not help admiring the generous mountain of clams and the savory aroma—it was even more satisfying than I expected! ![Seonbawi Memil Jangteo Yangjae Branch restaurant information](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-flower-market-buckwheat-noodles/yangjae-flower-market-buckwheat-noodles-03-16vfx-900.webp) - Restaurant: Seonbawi Memil Jangteo Yangjae Branch (메밀장터 양재점) - Address: 15-11 Gangnam-daero 18-gil, Seocho-gu, Seoul, South Korea (242-4 Yangjae-dong) - Hours: Daily 09:00–21:00, with no break time - Parking: Four dedicated spaces in front; the nearby Yangjae Neighborhood Park Public Parking Lot is recommended when full - What I ordered: clam buckwheat kalguksu ₩13,000 (minimum order of two servings), pork king dumplings ₩8,000 ![Seonbawi Memil Jangteo Yangjae Branch menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-flower-market-buckwheat-noodles/yangjae-flower-market-buckwheat-noodles-04-1504w-966.webp) ![Parking information for Seonbawi Memil Jangteo Yangjae Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-flower-market-buckwheat-noodles/yangjae-flower-market-buckwheat-noodles-05-1toxf-900.webp) ## A pleasant, orderly standalone dining room ![Tidy interior of the standalone restaurant building](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-flower-market-buckwheat-noodles/yangjae-flower-market-buckwheat-noodles-06-1tp8o-900.webp) The building has a bright, open front, so the view felt wonderfully unobstructed right from the entrance. Inside, bright square-frame lights and wood-toned tables were set out with plenty of room, so moving around for a meal never felt cramped. The open kitchen was kept beautifully tidy too, making it a place where anyone could relax and linger! ## Kalguksu with clams and pure buckwheat noodles ![Kalguksu with clams and buckwheat noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-flower-market-buckwheat-noodles/yangjae-flower-market-buckwheat-noodles-07-dbn2f-900.webp) ### A generous pairing of clams and springy buckwheat noodles The large bowl of kalguksu came topped with such a heaping pile of clams that I was pleased at first sight. There was something so satisfying about opening each shell and picking out the chewy clam meat one by one. ![Generous bowl of clam kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-flower-market-buckwheat-noodles/yangjae-flower-market-buckwheat-noodles-08-1m6iw-900.webp) The broth, steeped with dried pollack and clams, was clear and refreshing without even a hint of fishiness, so it was hard to put my spoon down! ![Clear dried-pollack and clam kalguksu broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-flower-market-buckwheat-noodles/yangjae-flower-market-buckwheat-noodles-09-ad8au-900.webp) Made with 100% pure buckwheat and Gold pure flour, the noodles did not snap apart; instead, they had just the right soft chew. The thick noodles carried a gentle, rustic buckwheat aroma, and the cool-tasting broth soaked right in, releasing deeper savory flavor with every bite. ![Buckwheat kalguksu with seasoning sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-flower-market-buckwheat-noodles/yangjae-flower-market-buckwheat-noodles-10-7paf5-966.webp) After enjoying about half the clear broth, I stirred in a little of the minced-chili seasoning. That brought out a pleasantly spicy, savory kick and made it extra special. ## A meal with king dumplings and white kimchi ![King dumplings with buckwheat wrappers](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-flower-market-buckwheat-noodles/yangjae-flower-market-buckwheat-noodles-11-1m087-966.webp) ### Hearty king dumplings with refreshing sides The king dumplings I ordered on the side used buckwheat wrappers, which were thin and chewy, while the filling was generously packed in. They made for such a substantial mouthful. ![Hearty pork king dumplings](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-flower-market-buckwheat-noodles/yangjae-flower-market-buckwheat-noodles-12-12yrh-900.webp) They were full of pork, chives, and glass noodles, yet not greasy at all, so they felt perfectly easy to eat alongside a brothy dish. ![Pork king dumplings with soy sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-flower-market-buckwheat-noodles/yangjae-flower-market-buckwheat-noodles-13-1w19h-900.webp) A light dip in the house soy sauce let the juices spread gently through the filling, and the dumplings went wonderfully with the buckwheat kalguksu. ![Buckwheat kalguksu and king dumplings together](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-flower-market-buckwheat-noodles/yangjae-flower-market-buckwheat-noodles-14-18m5l-900.webp) ![A full kalguksu meal with white kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-flower-market-buckwheat-noodles/yangjae-flower-market-buckwheat-noodles-15-1uiv9-900.webp) Add a piece of tangy, crisp baekgimchi (white kimchi), and the finish becomes wonderfully clean, making it hard to stop reaching for another bite. With four parking spaces in front and the Yangjae Neighborhood Park Public Parking Lot nearby, it would be easy to come by car too. ## A satisfying buckwheat meal that sat lightly ![A satisfying meal of buckwheat kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-flower-market-buckwheat-noodles/yangjae-flower-market-buckwheat-noodles-16-bc5v9-900.webp) Without the heaviness that flour noodles can have, it did not leave my stomach feeling bloated, and I comfortably finished every last sip of broth. Since it opens early at 9 a.m., it would also make a solid lunch for people working around Yangjae-dong! I was delighted to find a restaurant that is easy to drop into after visiting the nearby flower market or walking the Citizens' Forest route. Next time, I definitely plan to return to try Memil Jangteo's other signatures: perilla-oil makguksu (cold buckwheat noodles) and myeongtae hoe suyuk, steamed pork with seasoned pollack. ## 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/@served-in-seoul-2/yangjae-flower-market-buckwheat-noodles/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
