I visited with a friend and finished the classic carbonara, iced apricot milk tea, ricotta cheese salad, and chuck flap steak platter without leaving a bite. Verdict: a Haenggung-dong restaurant already on my return list. ## Good to know - **Reservations**: Available; recommended for weekend visits - **Child-friendly amenities**: Baby chairs and children's chairs available - **Seating**: Bar seating available *as written by the visitor on Sep 9, 2026* I came to Haenggung-dong with a friend for pasta ❤️ I wasn't expecting much, but it was soooooo much better than expected that we totally overate. Still, this was the kind of place where being full doesn't hurt—it makes you happy. ![Pasta meal in Haenggung-dong visited with a friend](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-haenggungdong-carbonara-apricot-milktea/suwon-haenggungdong-carbonara-apricot-milktea-01-166ue-900.webp) I went to a seriously insane (p) great restaurant while I was in Haenggung-dong this time. I was so surprised that every single menu item could be this good ; Next time I'm in Haenggung-dong, I seriously have to come back with my girlfriend ㅠ A Haenggung-dong pasta spot I want to keep to myself: Nonchalant Lounge.. ![Visit to Nonchalant Lounge](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-haenggungdong-carbonara-apricot-milktea/suwon-haenggungdong-carbonara-apricot-milktea-02-196oc-900.webp) ## A Haenggung-dong Western restaurant you can visit with kids Here's the exterior! For reference, they have baby chairs and children's chairs ready. It is a Western restaurant, but there were lots of families dining together too, haha. I visited on a weekend, and reservations are available, so I recommend making one. ![Exterior of Nonchalant Lounge](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-haenggungdong-carbonara-apricot-milktea/suwon-haenggungdong-carbonara-apricot-milktea-03-1j8py-900.webp) The interior is really spacious! There were quite a few guests even though it is roomy, so I took this when it had cleared out a bit. ![Spacious interior of Nonchalant Lounge](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-haenggungdong-carbonara-apricot-milktea/suwon-haenggungdong-carbonara-apricot-milktea-04-9t9ae-900.webp) There are bar tables too, so you can eat alone as well~ ![Bar table at Nonchalant Lounge](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-haenggungdong-carbonara-apricot-milktea/suwon-haenggungdong-carbonara-apricot-milktea-05-vya46-900.webp) ![Bar seating for solo diners](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-haenggungdong-carbonara-apricot-milktea/suwon-haenggungdong-carbonara-apricot-milktea-06-1j69v-900.webp) All the little objects tucked around the space have such a nice-vibes aesthetic. It is a great Haenggung-dong pasta restaurant, and the atmosphere is great too. A lovely Western restaurant with a great mood, and a good place to bring kids!! I'm coming back.. ![Atmospheric space with decorative objects](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-haenggungdong-carbonara-apricot-milktea/suwon-haenggungdong-carbonara-apricot-milktea-07-fdr6t-900.webp) A place that serves ice water. Instant huge points. .. Honestly, maybe this was when I fell in love with Nonchalant Lounge, the Haenggung-dong pasta spot.. There were so many delicious-looking menu items that we agonized over what to order. ![Dining table while choosing menu items](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-haenggungdong-carbonara-apricot-milktea/suwon-haenggungdong-carbonara-apricot-milktea-08-1crqg-900.webp) ## Iced apricot milk tea that surprised even a milk-tea hater We ordered iced apricot milk tea with ice cream, and wow.. I don't really like milk tea, you know..? But the sweet apricot flavor and smooth milk-tea flavor came together, and from the very first sip I was like, “What is this flavor..?!” Seriously, I had never tasted anything like it in my life, and it was ridiculously good ; My friend said it was so good too. Even milk-tea haters can enjoy this? ![Iced apricot milk tea with ice cream](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-haenggungdong-carbonara-apricot-milktea/suwon-haenggungdong-carbonara-apricot-milktea-09-1ht7p-900.webp) They give you one big scoop of ice cream. It is delicious on its own, and it is also a total treat with the milk tea. Please, even if you forget me, don't forget the iced apricot milk tea at Nonchalant Lounge, the Haenggung-dong pasta spot. ![Iced apricot milk tea and ice cream](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-haenggungdong-carbonara-apricot-milktea/suwon-haenggungdong-carbonara-apricot-milktea-10-14gim-900.webp) ![Iced apricot milk tea as a meal drink](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-haenggungdong-carbonara-apricot-milktea/suwon-haenggungdong-carbonara-apricot-milktea-11-1v56v-900.webp) ## Classic carbonara we finished, starting with the salad Ricotta cheese salad. Wow.. we seriously left none. Hahahaha. It had Shine Muscat grapes, chicory, ricotta cheese, and vegetables, and I realized for the first time that ricotta could be this delicious. It was slightly sweet and nutty, and went so well with the dressing and vegetables. ![Shine Muscat ricotta cheese salad](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-haenggungdong-carbonara-apricot-milktea/suwon-haenggungdong-carbonara-apricot-milktea-12-1n0y9-900.webp) The classic carbonara shocked me when I tried it. My life is divided into before and after eating carbonara at this Haenggung-dong pasta restaurant.. ![Classic carbonara pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-haenggungdong-carbonara-apricot-milktea/suwon-haenggungdong-carbonara-apricot-milktea-13-10b3n-900.webp) The bacon comes in whole pieces, so even while eating pasta, you can taste the flavor of the thick-cut bacon. Don't think, “Here they go raving again~.” Seriously. Hear me out. I've never been to a Western restaurant as good as this one. The sauce soaked into the noodles in this rich, clingy way, and the flavor was just insane; the bacon was salty and nutty, the carbonara was unbelievably rich, and it was salty in the best way—you just keep eating. ![Carbonara with thick-cut bacon](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-haenggungdong-carbonara-apricot-milktea/suwon-haenggungdong-carbonara-apricot-milktea-14-1e2p2-900.webp) I haven't tasted anything like this even at Western restaurants with Michelin stars. For real, I could eat it forever. Wow.. Honestly, this cream pasta was soooo good that I added this to my list of Haenggung-dong places I want to keep to myself, plus Western restaurants I will revisit on my own dime. My dining companion said it was really delicious too. No lie. ![Cream pasta meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-haenggungdong-carbonara-apricot-milktea/suwon-haenggungdong-carbonara-apricot-milktea-15-1sovu-900.webp) Even the pickles were somehow this clean and crisp.. ![Pickles served with the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-haenggungdong-carbonara-apricot-milktea/suwon-haenggungdong-carbonara-apricot-milktea-16-e935m-900.webp) ## Tender chuck flap steak platter Chuck flap steak platter. Ah.. honestly, I thought it would be ordinary. But even this was delicious..;; ![Chuck flap steak platter](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-haenggungdong-carbonara-apricot-milktea/suwon-haenggungdong-carbonara-apricot-milktea-17-1jw3f-900.webp) The roasted tomatoes, mushrooms, asparagus, chuck flap steak, and butter galbi sauce in this were all!!!!!!! delicious. The meat was not tough at all, just tender and insanely good, and my companion kept saying, what did they do to this butter galbi sauce? It is so good and amazing. ![Chuck flap steak platter with butter galbi sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-haenggungdong-carbonara-apricot-milktea/suwon-haenggungdong-carbonara-apricot-milktea-18-ggw71-900.webp) To be honest, steak at a Western restaurant can make you hesitate, wondering, “Will it be tough?” “Will the quality be bad..?” But I swear on my fingers, this was not tough at all. It was just insanely, unbelievably good—I want to keep it to myself. This was the best Western restaurant I visited this year. The seasoning was just right, and because it came with Maldon salt, it was not overly salty while still delivering a totally incredible flavor. Seriously.. what am I supposed to do when even the sides are this good? ![Dining table after finishing every menu item](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-haenggungdong-carbonara-apricot-milktea/suwon-haenggungdong-carbonara-apricot-milktea-19-1fwm0-900.webp) Haha, proof of how good it was. I thought showing you this would be better than just saying it was delicious over and over, so here is proof that we finished everything ;; Neither of us eats a huge amount, so before we started, we said we probably wouldn't finish it all. But seriously, it was so unbelievably delicious that we left nothing.. For real, it is a Haenggung-dong gem I want to keep to myself. A Western restaurant you won't regret. Ah, I have to bring my girlfriend back ㅜㅜㅜ ## Where it is - Nonchalant Lounge (논샬랑라운지) - 896 Jeongjo-ro, 1F, Paldal-gu, Suwon-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea (경기도 수원시 팔달구 정조로 896 1층) - 경기도 수원시 팔달구 정조로 896 1층 - 37.2879341, 127.0149974 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%85%BC%EC%83%AC%EB%9E%91%EB%9D%BC%EC%9A%B4%EC%A7%80/@37.2879341,127.0149974,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@sundae-supper-route/suwon-haenggungdong-carbonara-apricot-milktea/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
