There were several tables inside, with a row of seats along the windows too. We arrived right at lunchtime, so plenty of people were already eating. Still, the tables did not feel cramped together, so it was comfortable enough to settle in and eat with the kids. ![Interior of Handam Guksu Gwakji Aewol Branch with several tables](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-aewol-handam-guksu-family-lunch-pork-soup/jeju-aewol-handam-guksu-family-lunch-pork-soup-04-u39fr-900.webp) ![Window-side seating inside Handam Guksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-aewol-handam-guksu-family-lunch-pork-soup/jeju-aewol-handam-guksu-family-lunch-pork-soup-05-17rv5-900.webp) ![Diners eating in the Handam Guksu dining room at lunchtime](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-aewol-handam-guksu-family-lunch-pork-soup/jeju-aewol-handam-guksu-family-lunch-pork-soup-06-1arh6-900.webp) We took a window-side table. There was a little glimpse of the sea outside, which was nice to look at while we waited for our food. My daughter was all smiles as soon as she sat down, haha, and my son got settled and patiently waited for the food to come out. ![Window seat at Handam Guksu with a slight view of the sea](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-aewol-handam-guksu-family-lunch-pork-soup/jeju-aewol-handam-guksu-family-lunch-pork-soup-07-1qw2l-900.webp) ![Children waiting for their meal at a window-side table](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-aewol-handam-guksu-family-lunch-pork-soup/jeju-aewol-handam-guksu-family-lunch-pork-soup-08-mvcpi-900.webp) ![Brother and sister waiting patiently before the meal arrives](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-aewol-handam-guksu-family-lunch-pork-soup/jeju-aewol-handam-guksu-family-lunch-pork-soup-09-1fzro-900.webp) ### The self-service bar, children’s tableware, and what we ordered There is a separate self-service bar on one side. Everything from side dishes to tableware was neatly arranged, and you can help yourself to as much as you need. There were also separate spoons and tableware for children, which was handy to have when visiting with kids. The menu is varied, from pork noodles and bibim guksu to gukbap (rice soup) and dombe naeng suyuk (chilled boiled pork). We ordered the rich beef-bone pork noodles, lean-meat gukbap, and chilled dombe suyuk. ![Handam Guksu self-service bar with side dishes and tableware](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-aewol-handam-guksu-family-lunch-pork-soup/jeju-aewol-handam-guksu-family-lunch-pork-soup-10-aboyt-900.webp) ![Self-service bar corner with children’s spoons and tableware](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-aewol-handam-guksu-family-lunch-pork-soup/jeju-aewol-handam-guksu-family-lunch-pork-soup-11-q9cut-900.webp) ## Rich beef-bone pork noodles and lean-meat gukbap—will kids enjoy them too? The rich beef-bone pork noodles had a deeply simmered beef-bone flavor without feeling heavy, so they were easy for both adults and kids to enjoy. There was a generous amount of meat too, making the noodles especially satisfying. The lean-meat gukbap came with lots of tender shredded lean pork. It was not overly seasoned, and my daughter really loved it. I like noodles too, but when I want a truly filling meal, I guess rice is the answer, haha. I must be more of a rice person than a noodle person after all. ![A full spread of rich beef-bone pork noodles, lean-meat gukbap, and chilled dombe suyuk](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-aewol-handam-guksu-family-lunch-pork-soup/jeju-aewol-handam-guksu-family-lunch-pork-soup-12-1vqh5-1200.webp) ![Rich beef-bone pork noodles and lean-meat gukbap with plenty of meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-aewol-handam-guksu-family-lunch-pork-soup/jeju-aewol-handam-guksu-family-lunch-pork-soup-13-2dwwe-900.webp) ### Chilled dombe suyuk, the dish I would order again The chilled dombe suyuk was really my kind of dish. It is boiled pork served cold, so it was light yet tender, with a savory flavor that came through the more I chewed. It was even better with a little wasabi or seasoning, and I kept reaching for it between bites of noodles and gukbap, haha. I think I would order this again next time too. ![Chilled dombe suyuk at Handam Guksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-aewol-handam-guksu-family-lunch-pork-soup/jeju-aewol-handam-guksu-family-lunch-pork-soup-14-zdsi8-900.webp) ![Chilled dombe suyuk served with wasabi and seasoning](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-aewol-handam-guksu-family-lunch-pork-soup/jeju-aewol-handam-guksu-family-lunch-pork-soup-15-x5px4-900.webp) ## Our final thoughts on this Aewol lunch with brother and sister My daughter prefers rice to noodles, while my son prefers noodles to rice! These siblings definitely know what they like, haha. They both ate well, and that was enough to make Mom happy! We tried a little of everything, from pork noodles and gukbap to chilled dombe suyuk, and had a really filling lunch. The chilled dombe suyuk especially feels like something I will be thinking about again. ## Where it is - Handam Guksu Gwakji Aewol Branch (한담국수 곽지애월점) (한담국수 곽지애월점) - 33 Aewol-ro, Aewol-eup, Jeju-si, Jeju, South Korea - 제주특별자치도 제주시 애월읍 애월로 33 1층 - 33.4618312, 126.3120404 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%95%9C%EB%8B%B4%EA%B5%AD%EC%88%98%20%EA%B3%BD%EC%A7%80%EC%95%A0%EC%9B%94%EC%A0%90/@33.4618312,126.3120404,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@slow-steps/jeju-aewol-handam-guksu-family-lunch-pork-soup/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
