It was on Super Members too, so I immediately cut ties and headed for the buckwheat place, go go go! The place is Seonbawi Memil Jangteo Yangjae Branch (선바위메밀장터 양재점), at 15-11 Gangnam-daero 18-gil, Seocho-gu, Seoul, South Korea. It is open daily from 09:00 to 21:00 with no break time, and parking, group seating, and reservations are available. ![Seonbawi Memil Jangteo Yangjae Branch location information](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-memil-clam-kalguksu/yangjae-memil-clam-kalguksu-01-1t6ob-1200.webp) Its sign really catches your eye even at night. The phrase “coating pure buckwheat in perilla oil” got this buckwheat lover’s heart racing 😆 ![Seonbawi Memil Jangteo Yangjae Branch sign at night](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-memil-clam-kalguksu/yangjae-memil-clam-kalguksu-02-1jc9p-966.webp) The tidy interior visible through the windows and the menu posters on the walls welcomed me in. ![Restaurant interior with menu posters](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-memil-clam-kalguksu/yangjae-memil-clam-kalguksu-03-1vek0-966.webp) Apparently, this is the home of a buckwheat kalguksu master with 30 years of experience. Yay~ And no wait! I can’t endure any more hunger! (No, I won’t endure it!) ![Seonbawi Memil Jangteo restaurant information](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-memil-clam-kalguksu/yangjae-memil-clam-kalguksu-04-1svtd-966.webp) ![Buckwheat kalguksu master restaurant information](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-memil-clam-kalguksu/yangjae-memil-clam-kalguksu-05-1toqd-966.webp) Being able to visit late seems like a huge plus. I came after 8 p.m. and could eat comfortably 😉 ![Seonbawi Memil Jangteo interior late at night](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-memil-clam-kalguksu/yangjae-memil-clam-kalguksu-06-eg9e0-966.webp) ![Restaurant interior where dinner is available](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-memil-clam-kalguksu/yangjae-memil-clam-kalguksu-07-1aau4-966.webp) ## Ordering buckwheat clam kalguksu for two As soon as I sat down, I carefully looked over the menu. From makguksu (cold buckwheat noodles) to buckwheat soba, giant dumplings, and boiled pork with seasoned pollack, they had a satisfying range of buckwheat dishes. ![Menu listing buckwheat dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-memil-clam-kalguksu/yangjae-memil-clam-kalguksu-08-dexg2-966.webp) Today’s choiiice! Buckwheat clam kalguksu for two! (Just note that this dish requires an order of at least two servings.) ![Ordered buckwheat clam kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-memil-clam-kalguksu/yangjae-memil-clam-kalguksu-09-amdyw-966.webp) I wanted to try the plump giant dumplings too... but they happened to be sold out that day. Still, I won’t give up. Now I have another reason to come back, hehe. ![Menu item for sold-out giant dumplings](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-memil-clam-kalguksu/yangjae-memil-clam-kalguksu-10-ssp85-966.webp) ## A mountain of clams and refreshing broth After about 10 minutes, the buckwheat clam kalguksu arrived! The clams were piled up like an actual mountain, so my mouth dropped open like a clam too 😮 ![Buckwheat clam kalguksu loaded with clams](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-memil-clam-kalguksu/yangjae-memil-clam-kalguksu-11-1p453-966.webp) The moment I took a spoonful of broth, the clams’ clean, deep savory flavor came alive. It is the kind of broth you could finish in no time even on a day with no appetite. Ah, this has to be eaten on a rainy day. Seriously. ![Buckwheat clam kalguksu with refreshing broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-memil-clam-kalguksu/yangjae-memil-clam-kalguksu-12-6i18b-966.webp) The noodles retained buckwheat’s distinct nutty flavor but had an exceptional firm, chewy texture. I worried they might snap too easily, but not at all! ![Kalguksu with chewy buckwheat noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-memil-clam-kalguksu/yangjae-memil-clam-kalguksu-13-g4hii-966.webp) The napa cabbage kimchi on the side was quite good too. It was neither overly seasoned nor intensely spicy, but its slight tang paired with the clean noodle broth and crunchy kimchi—🌶️ ah, happiness really is nothing complicated... this is happiness! ![Napa cabbage kimchi served with kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-memil-clam-kalguksu/yangjae-memil-clam-kalguksu-14-168ps-966.webp) ![Napa cabbage kimchi eaten with broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-memil-clam-kalguksu/yangjae-memil-clam-kalguksu-15-6y1q7-966.webp) ## A special combination with dadaegi This time, I tried it topped with dadaegi, a spicy seasoning paste. It was my first time putting dadaegi in noodles, and its slight heat with an intriguingly salty edge made it another treat. I totally recommend eating it with dadaegi! It would be an ideal drinking snack for people who enjoy alcohol! ![Buckwheat kalguksu topped with dadaegi](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-memil-clam-kalguksu/yangjae-memil-clam-kalguksu-16-cqqts-966.webp) In the end, we cleared it all again. Look at all those shells I picked clean(?)! I felt very satisfied, as though I had achieved a goal 😆 This is why I go around exploring good restaurants! ![Table after the meal with clam shells remaining](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-memil-clam-kalguksu/yangjae-memil-clam-kalguksu-17-29x0o-966.webp) It is ₩26,000 for two, and it looks like you get a drink if you photograph your receipt and leave a review! The portion was huge and the food was pretty good, so I thought that was quite a reasonable price. If you love buckwheat noodles, you should definitely visit at least once! Next time, I’m absolutely having the giant dumplings and boiled 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/@steam-side-dishes/yangjae-memil-clam-kalguksu/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
