After a late night at work, the writer ordered spicy sundaeguk and spicy pork soup, piled on self-bar sundae, and added king dumplings on the side. The spicy broth turns numbingly hot the longer you eat it, so anyone sensitive to spice should stick with the basic version. ## Good to know - **Ordered**: Spicy sundaeguk, spicy pork soup, king dumplings - **King dumplings**: 5 pieces per plate - **Self-bar**: Extra sundae and rice available, plus basic side dishes - **Location**: 78 Jungdong-ro 254beon-gil, Wonmi-gu, Bucheon-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea, 1st floor of Filtown, walkable from Sinjungdong Station - **Seating**: Solo seats up to group tables *as written by the visitor on Sep 7, 2026* I had to work later than expected because there was some monitoring work that needed doing. ![Visiting Gukbabi-ga near Sinjungdong Station late in the evening](https://img.superchart.com/images/gukbabiga-bucheon-spicy-sundae-gukbap/gukbabiga-bucheon-spicy-sundae-gukbap-01-paohp-1200.webp) As the evening dragged on I got pretty hungry, so I looked for something warm to eat near Sinjungdong Station and ended up back at Gukbabi-ga. ![First-floor storefront of Gukbabi-ga Bucheon Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/gukbabiga-bucheon-spicy-sundae-gukbap/gukbabiga-bucheon-spicy-sundae-gukbap-02-1feul-966.webp) ![Entrance area of Gukbabi-ga Bucheon Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/gukbabiga-bucheon-spicy-sundae-gukbap/gukbabiga-bucheon-spicy-sundae-gukbap-03-ucxar-966.webp) ## Why I came back near Sinjungdong Station What stuck with me from my last visit was being able to help myself to as much sundae (blood sausage) as I wanted, so naturally I found myself coming back. Gukbabi-ga isn't a hard walk from Sinjungdong Station, and it sits on the first floor of its building. I've seen reviews mentioning a basement parking lot for those driving, but we walked. The restaurant has seating for solo diners as well as tables for groups, and there's a self-bar you can use. Since you can grab extra rice as well as sundae, it's a good spot when you want a really filling meal. ## Spicy sundaeguk vs. spicy pork soup — how hot is it, really This time I ordered the spicy sundaeguk and the spicy pork soup. ![Spicy sundaeguk and spicy pork soup served at the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/gukbabiga-bucheon-spicy-sundae-gukbap/gukbabiga-bucheon-spicy-sundae-gukbap-04-jhe1q-966.webp) I was craving something spicier than the basic broth, so I picked the spicy version of both. Spicy sundaeguk lets you eat sundae and meat together, while spicy pork soup is more pork-focused — so it really comes down to preference. The first sip seemed just pleasantly spicy, but the longer I kept eating, the more my mouth was left with a real numbing heat. True to its name, the spiciness came through clearly. Mixing in rice made the broth taste even richer, and after working late, hot soup with rice really hit the spot. If you don't handle spicy food well, I'd go with the basic sundaeguk or pork soup instead. ![Spicy soup broth with rice mixed in](https://img.superchart.com/images/gukbabiga-bucheon-spicy-sundae-gukbap/gukbabiga-bucheon-spicy-sundae-gukbap-05-apbyy-966.webp) ## King dumplings as a side While eating the soup I ordered king dumplings on the side too. One plate came with 5 pieces, a decent size, and the filling was packed in tight. ![A plate of 5 king dumplings](https://img.superchart.com/images/gukbabiga-bucheon-spicy-sundae-gukbap/gukbabiga-bucheon-spicy-sundae-gukbap-06-1sqmm-966.webp) These weren't dumplings where the wrapper feels too thick — there was plenty of filling inside, and I enjoyed them a lot. They're a good add-on if soup alone feels like not quite enough, or if you're dining with others and want one more side to share. ![Cross-section of a king dumpling packed with filling](https://img.superchart.com/images/gukbabiga-bucheon-spicy-sundae-gukbap/gukbabiga-bucheon-spicy-sundae-gukbap-07-33v3c-966.webp) Pairing the king dumplings with the spicy broth worked really well together. ## Unlimited sundae at the self-bar The biggest reason I came back here was, again, the unlimited sundae. You can help yourself to as much as you want from the self-bar, so there was no need to order extra sundae separately. ![Self-bar where diners can help themselves to sundae](https://img.superchart.com/images/gukbabiga-bucheon-spicy-sundae-gukbap/gukbabiga-bucheon-spicy-sundae-gukbap-08-1xp2o-966.webp) ![A plate of sundae brought over from the self-bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/gukbabiga-bucheon-spicy-sundae-gukbap/gukbabiga-bucheon-spicy-sundae-gukbap-09-13ya3-966.webp) ![Small portions of sundae served alongside the soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/gukbabiga-bucheon-spicy-sundae-gukbap/gukbabiga-bucheon-spicy-sundae-gukbap-10-1lzfn-966.webp) Rather than piling my plate high right away, I brought over small amounts as I went and ate them alongside the soup. Sundae was good plain or dropped into the broth to warm up. With basic side dishes also available at the self-bar, it was an easy setup for grabbing whatever you needed throughout the meal. ![Basic side dishes available at the self-bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/gukbabiga-bucheon-spicy-sundae-gukbap/gukbabiga-bucheon-spicy-sundae-gukbap-11-1mhup-966.webp) I like sundae, so this was the part I remembered most from my last visit — and this time was just as satisfying. ![Sundae dropped into the broth to eat warm](https://img.superchart.com/images/gukbabiga-bucheon-spicy-sundae-gukbap/gukbabiga-bucheon-spicy-sundae-gukbap-12-e0shw-966.webp) ## Which of the two soups should you pick Spicy sundaeguk and spicy pork soup both center on a spicy broth, but they differ in what's mixed in. ![Comparing the different ingredients in the two soups](https://img.superchart.com/images/gukbabiga-bucheon-spicy-sundae-gukbap/gukbabiga-bucheon-spicy-sundae-gukbap-13-9qij1-966.webp) If you want sundae in the mix, go for the spicy sundaeguk; if you'd rather focus on pork, go with the spicy pork soup. Both turned out spicier than I expected, leaving my mouth numb by the end. I'd worked late and was really hungry that night, so mixing rice into the soup, adding extra sundae, and pairing it with king dumplings made for a full dinner. It's a solid place to revisit if you're looking for gukbap (rice and soup) near Sinjungdong Station or want to eat your fill of sundae.
