The order was the myeongin sundaeguk set and the spicy sundaeguk set together, with free somyeon noodles from the self-bar dropped into the broth and the assorted boiled pork that comes with each set. In the wide hall with running water playing in the background, finishing both the rice and the noodles made for a seriously generous meal. ## Good to know - **Ordered**: Myeongin sundaeguk set, spicy (eolkeun) sundaeguk set - **What the set includes**: Sundaeguk (pork and blood sausage soup) plus assorted boiled pork (suyuk) - **Self-bar**: Basic side dishes, condiments and free somyeon noodles - **Location**: 1F Unit 103, Building A, 21 Teheran-ro 10-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, near Gangnam Station Exit 3 - **Hours**: Listed as open 24 hours - **Also note**: Puffed rice snack (ppeong-gwaja) given for a review event *as written by the visitor on Sep 20, 2026* I was looking for something hot and filling near Gangnam Station and ended up at Sinju Okmi Gangnam Branch. Whenever the weather gets awkwardly chilly or I just want a hearty bowl of soup, sundaeguk (pork blood sausage soup) is the first thing that comes to mind. This time, instead of the plain sundaeguk, I tried both the myeongin sundaeguk set and the eolkeun (spicy) sundaeguk set. ![Exterior view of Sinju Okmi Gangnam Branch, a sundaeguk restaurant near Gangnam Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinjuokmi-gangnam-myeongin-eolkeun-jeongsik/sinjuokmi-gangnam-myeongin-eolkeun-jeongsik-01-1lpfz-1200.webp) ## Where is Sinju Okmi Gangnam Branch? A short walk from Gangnam Station Exit 3 Sinju Okmi Gangnam Branch is in Yeoksam-dong, an easy walk from Gangnam Station Exit 3, so it's simple to reach. It's actually a convenient spot for anyone looking for sundaeguk near Gangnam Station. ![Area around the entrance of Sinju Okmi Gangnam Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinjuokmi-gangnam-myeongin-eolkeun-jeongsik/sinjuokmi-gangnam-myeongin-eolkeun-jeongsik-02-1rapy-m-966.webp) ![Sinju Okmi Gangnam Branch sign on Teheran-ro 10-gil in Yeoksam-dong](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinjuokmi-gangnam-myeongin-eolkeun-jeongsik/sinjuokmi-gangnam-myeongin-eolkeun-jeongsik-03-1q0zv-966.webp) ![Building housing Sinju Okmi Gangnam Branch near Gangnam Station Exit 3](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinjuokmi-gangnam-myeongin-eolkeun-jeongsik/sinjuokmi-gangnam-myeongin-eolkeun-jeongsik-04-12b6y-m-966.webp) ## Inside Sinju Okmi: a wide hall with the sound of running water Walking in, the space was much bigger than I expected, making it comfortable to eat. You might picture a sundaeguk place as a bit cramped or old-fashioned, but ![Wide interior hall of Sinju Okmi Gangnam Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinjuokmi-gangnam-myeongin-eolkeun-jeongsik/sinjuokmi-gangnam-myeongin-eolkeun-jeongsik-05-xhp1c-966.webp) ![Interior of Sinju Okmi Gangnam Branch with tables set up](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinjuokmi-gangnam-myeongin-eolkeun-jeongsik/sinjuokmi-gangnam-myeongin-eolkeun-jeongsik-06-1op06-966.webp) the interior was really spacious, which made for a great place to eat haha. ![Clean seating area at Sinju Okmi Gangnam Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinjuokmi-gangnam-myeongin-eolkeun-jeongsik/sinjuokmi-gangnam-myeongin-eolkeun-jeongsik-07-17pjm-966.webp) Overall it had a clean feel, so it seemed good both for eating alone and for a group meal together. An unusual space where you eat while listening to running water, haha. ![Unusual space at Sinju Okmi Gangnam Branch with the sound of running water](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinjuokmi-gangnam-myeongin-eolkeun-jeongsik/sinjuokmi-gangnam-myeongin-eolkeun-jeongsik-08-1qy23-966.webp) ## The self-bar at Sinju Okmi, with free somyeon noodles What I liked most was the self-bar. Besides the basic side dishes, there were various extras to pair with the sundaeguk. What I especially liked was the somyeon (thin wheat noodles). You could add the noodles into the soup separately, giving a different experience from just eating it with rice. ![Sinju Okmi self-bar with noodles and side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinjuokmi-gangnam-myeongin-eolkeun-jeongsik/sinjuokmi-gangnam-myeongin-eolkeun-jeongsik-09-1q1ih-966.webp) The ppeong-gwaja (puffed rice snack) was a review event item, haha! ![Ppeong-gwaja puffed rice snack received as a review event item](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinjuokmi-gangnam-myeongin-eolkeun-jeongsik/sinjuokmi-gangnam-myeongin-eolkeun-jeongsik-10-t1b6k-966.webp) And this is the basic side dish spread, haha. ![Basic side dish spread at Sinju Okmi Gangnam Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinjuokmi-gangnam-myeongin-eolkeun-jeongsik/sinjuokmi-gangnam-myeongin-eolkeun-jeongsik-11-20980-966.webp) ## Myeongin sundaeguk set: can you really finish the soup and the rice? The first menu I ordered was the myeongin sundaeguk set. Seeing the soup arrive piping hot in a stone bowl was filling just to look at. There was plenty in the broth, and the portion of a single bowl was substantial enough that I wondered from the start whether I'd manage to finish the rice too. ![Myeongin sundaeguk set served in a stone bowl](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinjuokmi-gangnam-myeongin-eolkeun-jeongsik/sinjuokmi-gangnam-myeongin-eolkeun-jeongsik-12-fpnmc-966.webp) ![Myeongin sundaeguk broth generously filled with ingredients](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinjuokmi-gangnam-myeongin-eolkeun-jeongsik/sinjuokmi-gangnam-myeongin-eolkeun-jeongsik-13-s61fj-966.webp) Sundaeguk really tastes best hot, so I tried a spoonful of broth first. It was nice to taste the broth on its own before mixing in rice, adding perilla powder, salted shrimp, or chili paste to taste along the way. Partway through I added the somyeon noodles, and this combination worked really well too. Putting noodles into the sundaeguk broth let me slurp it up like noodle soup, which was a fun change. ![Somyeon noodles added into the sundaeguk broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinjuokmi-gangnam-myeongin-eolkeun-jeongsik/sinjuokmi-gangnam-myeongin-eolkeun-jeongsik-14-1kscc-966.webp) ## How spicy is the eolkeun sundaeguk set? I also can't skip the eolkeun (spicy) sundaeguk set I ordered alongside. It's definitely different from the regular sundaeguk, so if you like spicy, fiery broth, this menu would suit you well. ![Spicy broth of the eolkeun sundaeguk set](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinjuokmi-gangnam-myeongin-eolkeun-jeongsik/sinjuokmi-gangnam-myeongin-eolkeun-jeongsik-15-1w8rd-966.webp) ![Close-up of a bowl of eolkeun sundaeguk](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinjuokmi-gangnam-myeongin-eolkeun-jeongsik/sinjuokmi-gangnam-myeongin-eolkeun-jeongsik-16-ciwxf-966.webp) With gukbap (soup-and-rice dishes), the broth temperature matters a lot, and it came out piping hot, so I could enjoy it warm all the way to the end even eating slowly. Personally, when I eat sundaeguk, rather than mixing in rice right away, I like to eat some of the broth and ingredients first before adding rice or noodles — and eating that way this time, the portion was really large. ![Sundaeguk eaten with rice and noodles added](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinjuokmi-gangnam-myeongin-eolkeun-jeongsik/sinjuokmi-gangnam-myeongin-eolkeun-jeongsik-17-1pkva-966.webp) ## Was the meal worth it? A very filling two-set order Eating the sundaeguk plus rice plus noodles made for a really hearty meal. What stuck with me most from this visit to Sinju Okmi was, as expected, the generous portions. ![Generous full spread of the Sinju Okmi sundaeguk set](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinjuokmi-gangnam-myeongin-eolkeun-jeongsik/sinjuokmi-gangnam-myeongin-eolkeun-jeongsik-18-xhbpw-966.webp) A single bowl of sundaeguk is already filling enough, but enjoying it as a set and adding noodles on top made it truly satisfying. There are plenty of simple options when eating near Gangnam Station, but on a day like this when you really want to fill up, a hot bowl of sundaeguk is a solid choice. ![Table set with the sundaeguk set meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinjuokmi-gangnam-myeongin-eolkeun-jeongsik/sinjuokmi-gangnam-myeongin-eolkeun-jeongsik-19-hjf2l-966.webp) ![Plate of assorted boiled pork included in the set](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinjuokmi-gangnam-myeongin-eolkeun-jeongsik/sinjuokmi-gangnam-myeongin-eolkeun-jeongsik-20-167ei-966.webp) This is the assorted boiled pork (suyuk) that came with the set. If you're searching for good restaurants near Gangnam Station or Yeoksam Station and love gukbap dishes, I felt this is a place worth stopping by. ![Picking up a piece of the assorted boiled pork](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinjuokmi-gangnam-myeongin-eolkeun-jeongsik/sinjuokmi-gangnam-myeongin-eolkeun-jeongsik-21-hpthj-966.webp) ![Table spread of boiled pork eaten together with sundaeguk](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinjuokmi-gangnam-myeongin-eolkeun-jeongsik/sinjuokmi-gangnam-myeongin-eolkeun-jeongsik-22-1rqo6-966.webp) ![Finishing spread of the sundaeguk set at Sinju Okmi Gangnam Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinjuokmi-gangnam-myeongin-eolkeun-jeongsik/sinjuokmi-gangnam-myeongin-eolkeun-jeongsik-23-ok95o-966.webp) ![Nearly finished stone bowl of sundaeguk](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinjuokmi-gangnam-myeongin-eolkeun-jeongsik/sinjuokmi-gangnam-myeongin-eolkeun-jeongsik-24-1t7xl-966.webp) ## Open 24 hours: late-night hangover soup in Gangnam Sinju Okmi Gangnam Branch is currently listed as operating 24 hours, so it's convenient to visit for a late-night meal or hangover food too. The broth was hot and generously filled, and the fun part was being able to bring the noodles over yourself and add them into the sundaeguk. A single bowl of sundaeguk is already filling, but adding the noodles made it a truly hearty meal. It's a good place to visit around Gangnam Station or Yeoksam Station when you're craving a generous bowl of sundaeguk. If you like spicy broth, go for the eolkeun sundaeguk set, and if you prefer the classic version, try the myeongin sundaeguk set — pick according to your taste. 1F 103, A-dong, 21 Teheran-ro 10-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea / Near Gangnam Station Exit 3 / Listed as open 24 hours ## Where it is - Sinju Okmi Gangnam Branch (신주옥미 강남점) - 1F 103, A-dong, 21 Teheran-ro 10-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 강남구 테헤란로10길 21 A동 지상 1층 103호 - 37.4978626, 127.0329328 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%8B%A0%EC%A3%BC%EC%98%A5%EB%AF%B8%20%EA%B0%95%EB%82%A8%EC%A0%90/@37.4978626,127.0329328,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@tapgol-back-table/sinjuokmi-gangnam-myeongin-eolkeun-jeongsik/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
