I cooked clam kalguksu at the table and paired it with 10 steamed shrimp, barley rice, and fresh kimchi. A great pick for chewy noodles and a refreshing seafood broth. ## Good to know - **Address**: 63 Gilju-ro 560beon-gil, Wonmi-gu, Bucheon, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea (경기도 부천시 원미구 길주로560번길 63) - **Hours**: Daily 10:30–21:00 - **Clam kalguksu**: ₩11,000 per person - **Steamed shrimp**: ₩11,000 for 10 shrimp - **Parking**: Large parking lot - **Seating**: Spacious interior with many tables *as written by the visitor on Sep 9, 2026* On days when I crave kalguksu (knife-cut noodle soup), I somehow think of a bowl of hot broth before any other menu item. When the weather turns a little chilly, I really start craving kalguksu—slurping chewy noodles in warm broth. This time, while visiting the Jakdong area of Bucheon, I stopped by a place that is widely known for great kalguksu. ![Visiting a kalguksu restaurant in Jakdong, Bucheon](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-jagdong-shrimp-kalguksu/bucheon-jagdong-shrimp-kalguksu-01-tssdt-900.webp) ![Exterior of Jakdong Hongdukkkae Kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-jagdong-shrimp-kalguksu/bucheon-jagdong-shrimp-kalguksu-02-1adxb-900.webp) ## A large parking lot and spacious interior Even before going inside, the scale of the place stood out. If you picture a small neighborhood restaurant just because it specializes in kalguksu, it may feel much bigger than expected—and the parking lot was truly huge, too. ![Large parking lot at Jakdong Hongdukkkae Kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-jagdong-shrimp-kalguksu/bucheon-jagdong-shrimp-kalguksu-03-t0y6v-900.webp) Recent visitor reviews also say there can be a wait during busy periods, such as lunchtime or weekends. ![Notice about waiting at the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-jagdong-shrimp-kalguksu/bucheon-jagdong-shrimp-kalguksu-04-sshy1-900.webp) The interior was genuinely larger than I expected. There were so many tables that I thought running out of seats would not be a problem. ![Spacious indoor table area](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-jagdong-shrimp-kalguksu/bucheon-jagdong-shrimp-kalguksu-05-msgsh-900.webp) ![Indoor seating at Jakdong Hongdukkkae Kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-jagdong-shrimp-kalguksu/bucheon-jagdong-shrimp-kalguksu-06-c35u4-900.webp) ## Clam kalguksu and steamed shrimp for a solo meal Here is the menu at Jakdong Hongdukkkae Kalguksu Bucheon Main Branch. I ordered two things: clam kalguksu for one at ₩11,000 and steamed shrimp (10) at ₩11,000. I came for a solo meal today :) ![Menu for clam kalguksu and steamed shrimp](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-jagdong-shrimp-kalguksu/bucheon-jagdong-shrimp-kalguksu-07-1x7af-900.webp) The weather was especially lovely that day. I could see the sky right outside the window, and the view was wonderful! ![Restaurant view with the sky visible through the window](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-jagdong-shrimp-kalguksu/bucheon-jagdong-shrimp-kalguksu-08-1wsk5-900.webp) Here came the kalguksu and steamed shrimp I ordered. They looked so delicious, and the smell was incredible. Only people who have tried it know what I mean, haha. It looked ridiculously good even before eating, and it was every bit as tasty when I did~ ![Table setting with ordered kalguksu and steamed shrimp](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-jagdong-shrimp-kalguksu/bucheon-jagdong-shrimp-kalguksu-09-tpjrz-900.webp) Once the kalguksu had cooked in the seafood broth, I opened the lid—and the presentation was perfect. I started eating right away. I waited without touching the barley rice so I could take photos. Normally, I would have finished it before the kalguksu or shrimp even arrived... hahaha. ![Cooked kalguksu and barley rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-jagdong-shrimp-kalguksu/bucheon-jagdong-shrimp-kalguksu-10-mnd32-900.webp) Maybe because it is such a popular Jakdong spot, people kept coming in. The smell of kalguksu drifted through the air, and perhaps because I was hungry, it made me even hungrier. ![Kalguksu meal spread on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-jagdong-shrimp-kalguksu/bucheon-jagdong-shrimp-kalguksu-11-1y60k-900.webp) When I took the photo horizontally, the whole table was filled. Since I ordered so much just for myself, people beside me gave me a glance now and then, hahaha. After taking several food photos, I also filmed everything in detail. ![Kalguksu and steamed shrimp meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-jagdong-shrimp-kalguksu/bucheon-jagdong-shrimp-kalguksu-12-x6jqy-900.webp) ## Barley rice and fresh kimchi before the kalguksu While waiting for the kalguksu to boil, the first thing to eat is the barley rice. It was not really a substantial meal on its own, but more of a light appetite opener before properly digging into the kalguksu. ![Barley rice before the kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-jagdong-shrimp-kalguksu/bucheon-jagdong-shrimp-kalguksu-13-a4n2l-900.webp) ![Barley rice with young radish greens](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-jagdong-shrimp-kalguksu/bucheon-jagdong-shrimp-kalguksu-14-1fa8k-900.webp) You mix it with yeolmu (young radish greens), so it was nice and light to eat while waiting for the kalguksu. It tasted excellent, too~ ![Mixed barley rice with young radish greens](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-jagdong-shrimp-kalguksu/bucheon-jagdong-shrimp-kalguksu-15-a3g3i-900.webp) Of course, kimchi is essential at a great Jakdong kalguksu place. It had the feel of geotjeori (freshly made kimchi), and it was exactly to my taste. ![Fresh kimchi served with kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-jagdong-shrimp-kalguksu/bucheon-jagdong-shrimp-kalguksu-16-10k86-900.webp) ## Ten steamed shrimp between bites of kalguksu I felt that kalguksu alone would be a little incomplete, so I ordered the steamed shrimp as well. Personally, the shrimp was the menu item that unexpectedly paired so well with this meal. ![Plate of 10 steamed shrimp](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-jagdong-shrimp-kalguksu/bucheon-jagdong-shrimp-kalguksu-17-8gotd-900.webp) While kalguksu centers on hot broth and noodles, the steamed shrimp changed the rhythm of the meal when I picked one up between bites. Ten shrimp arrived neatly arranged on one plate, so the presentation was clean, too. ![Steamed shrimp served with kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-jagdong-shrimp-kalguksu/bucheon-jagdong-shrimp-kalguksu-18-yhipp-900.webp) ![Plump shrimp served with gochujang](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-jagdong-shrimp-kalguksu/bucheon-jagdong-shrimp-kalguksu-19-1h6jq-900.webp) Peeling the shrimp is a little bit of work, but eating one at a time between bites of kalguksu actually made the meal at Jakdong Hongdukkkae Kalguksu more fun. They were plump with a great texture, and they went well with gochujang (Korean red chili paste)! ## Chewy noodles cooked at the table with seafood broth The kalguksu noodles come separately. Just put them into the vigorously boiling broth and let them cook until all the sand runs through the hourglass—that is it! The broth with clams brought together noodles and seafood, and it leaned refreshingly clean overall. Since you cook the noodles yourself here, they retained a bouncy yet chewy texture. At first, I could feel the noodles' springiness, and as time passed and the broth gradually soaked in, they offered another kind of enjoyment. There is a reason Jakdong Hongdukkkae Kalguksu is such a popular spot! ![Kalguksu noodles cooking in broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-jagdong-shrimp-kalguksu/bucheon-jagdong-shrimp-kalguksu-20-tq8dy-900.webp) What I looked forward to most in the clam kalguksu was the broth. With clam kalguksu, you expect a refreshing flavor and the distinctive savory depth of seafood. The refreshing taste from the seafood felt like the centerpiece. ![Clam seafood kalguksu broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-jagdong-shrimp-kalguksu/bucheon-jagdong-shrimp-kalguksu-21-1ekn6-900.webp) ![Kalguksu with seafood](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-jagdong-shrimp-kalguksu/bucheon-jagdong-shrimp-kalguksu-22-qun7z-900.webp) There were plenty of clams and shrimp in the broth, which gave it a deep, excellent flavor. ![Broth with clams and shrimp](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-jagdong-shrimp-kalguksu/bucheon-jagdong-shrimp-kalguksu-23-13t6f-900.webp) The broth is made with seafood such as shrimp, mideodeok (sea squirts), and clams, which helped me understand the seafood flavor I could taste in it. Once I finished the noodles, the seafood underneath appeared. I picked all the meat out of the clams, haha. ![Seafood remaining beneath the noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/bucheon-jagdong-shrimp-kalguksu/bucheon-jagdong-shrimp-kalguksu-24-10g5h-900.webp) If you enjoy chewy fresh noodles and refreshing seafood broth in kalguksu, you will likely be very satisfied. Being able to cook it yourself, plus the barley rice and steamed shrimp that pair so well with kalguksu, was the best part! ## Where it is - Jakdong Hongdukkkae Kalguksu Bucheon Main Branch (작동홍두깨칼국수 부천본점) - 63 Gilju-ro 560beon-gil, Wonmi-gu, Bucheon, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea (경기도 부천시 원미구 길주로560번길 63) - 경기도 부천시 원미구 길주로560번길 63 작동홍두깨칼국수 - 37.5041597, 126.8051002 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%9E%91%EB%8F%99%ED%99%8D%EB%91%90%EA%B9%A8%EC%B9%BC%EA%B5%AD%EC%88%98%20%EB%B6%80%EC%B2%9C%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@37.5041597,126.8051002,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@steel-bowl-days/bucheon-jagdong-shrimp-kalguksu/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
