Over lunch before a day out with a baby, the pufferfish seafood kalguksu set cost 15,000 won and came with jjukkumi (baby octopus) over barley rice, a clear noodle soup packed with clams, oysters and sea squirts, and a free bowl of baby rice topped with sesame oil and furikake, while the pufferfish broth itself was also sold to take home. Yubok Kalguksu is an easy lunch stop with a baby before heading into the Folk Village. ## Good to know - **Pufferfish seafood kalguksu set**: 15,000 won - **Baby rice**: Free, served with sesame oil and furikake - **Parking**: Lot in front of the restaurant - **Self-serve bar**: Kimchi, seasoned radish salad, baby tableware - **Dessert**: Coffee and snack corner - **Takeaway**: Pufferfish broth *as written by the visitor on Sep 15, 2026* ![A bowl of pufferfish seafood kalguksu at Yubok Kalguksu Yongin Korean Folk Village Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongin-minsokchon-pre-visit-kalguksu/yongin-minsokchon-pre-visit-kalguksu-01-lyz9d-1200.webp) Today I was scrambling for something to do with my baby, but the weather was so nice we decided to go to the Korean Folk Village. We were leaving around 11am, so we figured we'd grab lunch nearby first, and that's how we found Yubok Kalguksu, a restaurant near the Korean Folk Village. ![Exterior of Yubok Kalguksu Yongin Korean Folk Village Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongin-minsokchon-pre-visit-kalguksu/yongin-minsokchon-pre-visit-kalguksu-02-1blam-900.webp) ![Entrance of Yubok Kalguksu with parking lot in front](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongin-minsokchon-pre-visit-kalguksu/yongin-minsokchon-pre-visit-kalguksu-03-130q1-900.webp) ## Where is Yubok Kalguksu, and is there parking? Yubok Kalguksu Yongin Korean Folk Village Branch has a nice spacious parking lot right in front. Even though it was still a bit early for lunch, there were already quite a lot of cars there. (Already famous as a Yongin kalguksu spot?) It was drizzling a little too, which is perfect kalguksu (knife-cut noodle soup) weather... hehe. ![Sign explaining Yubok Kalguksu's use of pufferfish broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongin-minsokchon-pre-visit-kalguksu/yongin-minsokchon-pre-visit-kalguksu-04-w4121-702.webp) ## What makes the pufferfish broth different? Apparently Yubok Kalguksu uses a broth made from pufferfish. Whoa... that's so interesting. I've seen plenty of places using seafood or meat broths, but this is my first time seeing pufferfish!!!🐡 ![Spacious interior of Yubok Kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongin-minsokchon-pre-visit-kalguksu/yongin-minsokchon-pre-visit-kalguksu-05-1896z-m-900.webp) ![Table layout in the Yubok Kalguksu dining hall](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongin-minsokchon-pre-visit-kalguksu/yongin-minsokchon-pre-visit-kalguksu-06-6bus5-900.webp) ![Walkway and seating at Yubok Kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongin-minsokchon-pre-visit-kalguksu/yongin-minsokchon-pre-visit-kalguksu-07-5rx2j-900.webp) ## A roomy dining room that works with a baby The restaurant is really spacious. You do have to be careful when the hot kalguksu comes out, but with all that space there's no risk of bumping into anything, which is reassuring as a mom haha. ![Seated at a wide table](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongin-minsokchon-pre-visit-kalguksu/yongin-minsokchon-pre-visit-kalguksu-08-yfzys-m-900.webp) Let's sit down quickly and order, I'm so hungry... The tables are nice and wide too, which is great! We usually end up using a lot of small side plates because of the baby, and it gets chaotic if the table is too small, ugh. ![Menu board at Yubok Kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongin-minsokchon-pre-visit-kalguksu/yongin-minsokchon-pre-visit-kalguksu-09-1tpph-900.webp) ![Menu page listing the pufferfish seafood kalguksu set](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongin-minsokchon-pre-visit-kalguksu/yongin-minsokchon-pre-visit-kalguksu-10-vygxj-900.webp) ## Pufferfish seafood kalguksu set, 15,000 won, with free baby rice We'll get the kalguksu set. Seems like it's the most popular order. > Pufferfish seafood kalguksu set — ₩15,000 To me, a restaurant with a free baby rice bowl is the best kind of restaurant, and they had one — thank you so much. ![Table setting with barley rice and stir-fried jjukkumi from the set menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongin-minsokchon-pre-visit-kalguksu/yongin-minsokchon-pre-visit-kalguksu-11-bgfrw-900.webp) ### Barley rice with stir-fried jjukkumi (baby octopus) Barley rice and stir-fried jjukkumi (baby octopus) come with the noodle set. Eating just kalguksu alone can feel a bit lacking, so the rice fills you up and protects your stomach. ![Bowl of barley rice topped with radish salad and jjukkumi](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongin-minsokchon-pre-visit-kalguksu/yongin-minsokchon-pre-visit-kalguksu-12-11h8g-900.webp) You mix the barley rice with radish salad and jjukkumi, all stirred together. The seasoning is seriously so good, just the right amount of sweet and spicy. My mouth is watering just thinking about it... I'm a rice person, not a noodle person, so I prefer this to the kalguksu itself. ![Close-up of seasoned stir-fried jjukkumi](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongin-minsokchon-pre-visit-kalguksu/yongin-minsokchon-pre-visit-kalguksu-13-11pi0-766.webp) See the jjukkumi flipped over there?🐙 Ugh, I want to eat this again already... us women just crave spicy food like this when the hormones take over. It was genuinely delicious. My husband said it was really good too. ![Pufferfish seafood kalguksu served before cooking](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongin-minsokchon-pre-visit-kalguksu/yongin-minsokchon-pre-visit-kalguksu-14-ml7vi-900.webp) ![Pot of kalguksu topped with clams and stone flower shells](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongin-minsokchon-pre-visit-kalguksu/yongin-minsokchon-pre-visit-kalguksu-15-mzwpb-900.webp) ### Clear kalguksu with clams, oysters and sea squirts The kalguksu arrived..!! But seriously, look at all that seafood. The amount of clams, oysters, and stone flower shells (oman-dungi) is insane. I kept popping open clam after clam ..♡ ![Clams, oysters, and stone flower shells inside the kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongin-minsokchon-pre-visit-kalguksu/yongin-minsokchon-pre-visit-kalguksu-16-odei8-900.webp) ## The 3-minute hourglass: when to take your first bite Yubok Kalguksu's nice touch — they give you an hourglass! Wait 3 minutes, then turn down the heat and dig in ⏳ ![A 3-minute hourglass on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongin-minsokchon-pre-visit-kalguksu/yongin-minsokchon-pre-visit-kalguksu-17-11ngf-m-900.webp) My little one was totally obsessed with the hourglass haha. Thanks to that, our screen time went down. We waited together with the baby before eating! Since it's a clear broth kalguksu, the baby could eat it too. With regular kalguksu you usually have to keep checking when it's okay to eat, but at Yubok Kalguksu the hourglass decides the timing for you, which is so convenient haha. ![Free baby rice sprinkled with sesame oil and furikake](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongin-minsokchon-pre-visit-kalguksu/yongin-minsokchon-pre-visit-kalguksu-18-1djcd-900.webp) ### Free baby rice topped with sesame oil and furikake Even the baby rice wasn't just plain rice — they sprinkled it with sesame oil and furikake haha. So I could feed her easily without needing seaweed!! I bet it would've been great with a side of savory pancake too. ![Self-serve bar with kimchi and seasoned radish](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongin-minsokchon-pre-visit-kalguksu/yongin-minsokchon-pre-visit-kalguksu-19-klauk-m-900.webp) ![Self-serve corner with baby tableware](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongin-minsokchon-pre-visit-kalguksu/yongin-minsokchon-pre-visit-kalguksu-20-a9jdv-900.webp) ## Self-serve bar and pufferfish broth sold to take home Kimchi and seasoned radish are at the self-serve bar, so help yourself to as much as you like! The kimchi has that fresh geotjeori vibe I love. (Baby tableware is here too.) This pufferfish broth is seriously so clean and refreshing. They also sell it separately to take home! Since pufferfish broth itself isn't easy to find, buying some seems like a great idea. ![Pufferfish broth product sold for takeaway](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongin-minsokchon-pre-visit-kalguksu/yongin-minsokchon-pre-visit-kalguksu-21-1tcer-m-900.webp) ![Sign advertising takeaway pufferfish broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongin-minsokchon-pre-visit-kalguksu/yongin-minsokchon-pre-visit-kalguksu-22-rgx68-900.webp) ![Coffee and snacks at the dessert corner](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongin-minsokchon-pre-visit-kalguksu/yongin-minsokchon-pre-visit-kalguksu-23-wgbod-900.webp) ## Coffee and snacks at the dessert corner After eating our fill, we checked out the dessert corner with coffee and snacks — couldn't eat much since we were so full, but I still made sure to grab something. The jjukkumi barley rice and clear kalguksu seem popular, since a lot of other families with babies were there too, just like us. ![Table at Yubok Kalguksu after finishing the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/yongin-minsokchon-pre-visit-kalguksu/yongin-minsokchon-pre-visit-kalguksu-24-wdmwa-900.webp) If you want to eat kalguksu with your baby, or need to sort out lunch before heading to the Korean Folk Village, how about visiting Yubok Kalguksu, a restaurant in Bora-dong near the Korean Folk Village in Yongin? ## Where it is - Yubok Kalguksu Yongin Korean Folk Village Branch (유복칼국수 용인민속촌점) - 24 Minsokchon-ro, Giheung-gu, Yongin-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - 경기도 용인시 기흥구 민속촌로 24 1층 - 37.2547667, 127.1072278 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%9C%A0%EB%B3%B5%EC%B9%BC%EA%B5%AD%EC%88%98%20%EC%9A%A9%EC%9D%B8%EB%AF%BC%EC%86%8D%EC%B4%8C%EC%A0%90/@37.2547667,127.1072278,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@supper-marks-gyeonggi/yongin-minsokchon-pre-visit-kalguksu/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
