Kiosk solo lunch, Songpa kalguksu restaurant: Hanyang Dak Kalguksu
Hanyang Dak Kalguksu Main Branch is a chicken noodle soup (dak kalguksu) restaurant in Garak-dong, Songpa, Seoul, right outside Exit 4 of Gyeongchal Hospital Station. For a solo lunch, dak kalguksu with laver garnish costs 10,900 won and galbi mandu (short-rib dumplings) 6,900 won, both ordered at the kiosk, and the bowl arrives with a rich broth simmered 12 hours, springy house-made noodles and house-fermented Korean kimchi from the self-serve bar. With an extra-large portion for just 1,000 won more, Hanyang Dak Kalguksu is an easy, filling stop for eating alone.
