Where to eat near Seokchongobun Station during kids' soccer practice

Haengbokhan Udon Gage Seokchon Lake Branch (행복한우동가게 석촌호수점) is close to the field where our child trains, so it was super convenient for a family dinner during practice. It's a 24-hour udon spot near Seokchon Lake, so you can drop in whenever you like.

Our kid had evening soccer training, so we fed them dinner first and sent them off. While they worked hard on the field, the rest of us decided to have our own dinner. I wondered if there was any decent place nearby, and we settled on Haengbokhan Udon Gage Seokchon Lake Branch. It also seems perfect for a late-night snack when you're feeling peckish, a great udon place near Seokchongobun Station.

What's the atmosphere like at Haengbokhan Udon Gage Seokchon Lake Branch?

The restaurant has a clean, cozy wood-toned interior, with a tablet menu at every table and a self-serve side dish corner. It was raining, so we picked dishes that suited the weather.

Walking in, we were greeted by a tidy, homey feel overall. The warm wood interior made it a comfortable place to eat.

Each table has a neatly installed tablet menu, so it's easy to order right from your seat.

On one side there's a tidy self-serve corner where you can help yourself to kimchi, pickled radish, small plates and more.

Menu and prices at Haengbokhan Udon Gage Seokchon Lake Branch

The menu was packed with choices, from udon to pork cutlet to dumplings. We ordered old-style pork cutlet for ₩10,900, bibim mandu for ₩9,500, fish cake udon for ₩9,500, and steamed rice for ₩1,000.

After some deliberation we ordered the old-style pork cutlet, the bibim mandu, and the fish cake udon. For the udon we added dadaegi (spicy seasoning paste) to go for a fiery bowl.

• Old-style pork cutlet ₩10,900
• Bibim mandu ₩9,500
• Fish cake udon (+ dadaegi) ₩9,500
• Steamed rice ₩1,000

Is the fish cake udon with extra dadaegi spicy?

Even with the dadaegi added, the fish cake udon wasn't as spicy as I'd imagined, but the broth and chewy noodles were so good that I finished it all. The dishes came out one after another, and they looked mouthwatering right away.

I stirred the dadaegi into the steaming broth hoping for a kick, but it wasn't as spicy as I expected. Still, the broth was fantastic, and I slurped it down to the end. The noodles were chewy too, so they just kept going down. Next time I'll try the pepper udon! 👍

What does the bibim mandu taste like?

The bibim mandu was a treat too: crunchy vegetables and crispy fried dumplings wrapped up in a sweet and tangy sauce.

Can you ask for the old-style cutlet sauce on the side?

As Minimani (my kid's nickname) requested, the old-style pork cutlet came with the sauce served separately. The staff understood how much Minimani wanted it crispy, so it stayed crunchy to the very end. The sauce was sweet and salty and went down so well.

Minimani loved it too, exclaiming over every bite. Minimani said it was so delicious and even begged me to write "This place is so good" under the photos on my blog. 🤣 Haengbokhan Udon Gage Seokchon Lake Branch clearly hits the spot for kids' tastes too.
