This was only my third time having haesintang in my life, and I came back properly recharged. It was delicious, refreshing haesintang with fresh seafood and fresh chicken! ![Interior of Gwacheon Haesintang with private rooms](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwacheon-haesintang-kalguksu-course/gwacheon-haesintang-kalguksu-course-04-1nv7m-900.webp) ## A Gwacheon spot for meals and work dinners with private rooms There are private rooms inside, and I noticed lots of guests had reservations. It is already well known in Gwacheon for meals out and company dinners. It had been a while since I came for a restorative meal, so I was really excited! My dad was excited too, since it had been a while since his last haesintang. Hahaha, getting excited over food? Hahaha. ![Cordyceps liquor for sale](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwacheon-haesintang-kalguksu-course/gwacheon-haesintang-kalguksu-course-05-1ihh6-900.webp) Gwacheon Haesintang also includes precious cordyceps mushrooms. They were selling cordyceps liquor too, in the ₩20,000 range! They say it goes well with haesintang, haha. Why does the color of the liquor look so pretty? Hehe. ![Gwacheon Haesintang reservation status](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwacheon-haesintang-kalguksu-course/gwacheon-haesintang-kalguksu-course-06-ot9w3-900.webp) The reservations were completely booked like this.

Good, good. ![Spacious, clean interior of Gwacheon Haesintang](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwacheon-haesintang-kalguksu-course/gwacheon-haesintang-kalguksu-course-07-jpu9y-900.webp) The interior was spacious and clean too, haha. I also liked that the owner and staff were so kind. They have private rooms like this as well! ![Large separate private room](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwacheon-haesintang-kalguksu-course/gwacheon-haesintang-kalguksu-course-08-3451t-900.webp) There are about three large separate rooms, so it looked great for Gwacheon work dinners and family gatherings. The kitchen was also managed very cleanly and hygienically, which my dad really liked too. ![Dining table prepared for reserved guests](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwacheon-haesintang-kalguksu-course/gwacheon-haesintang-kalguksu-course-09-11eb1-900.webp) Since we made a reservation before visiting, they had our table ready like this, and you can order easily through the kiosk! ![Kiosk ordering information](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwacheon-haesintang-kalguksu-course/gwacheon-haesintang-kalguksu-course-10-gavjj-900.webp) ## Haesintang for two and pimuneo haesintang We ordered haesintang for two for ₩59,000, then added kalguksu noodles at the end. The kalguksu noodle add-on is essential. ![Haesintang for two and kalguksu noodle order](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwacheon-haesintang-kalguksu-course/gwacheon-haesintang-kalguksu-course-11-h3ndj-900.webp) ![Pimuneo haesintang menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwacheon-haesintang-kalguksu-course/gwacheon-haesintang-kalguksu-course-12-1ebj3-900.webp) They also have pimuneo haesintang, and the octopus is enormous. It is 100% domestic, and seriously so huge. If you are coming as a family, I think the 3–4 person pimuneo haesintang would be a great choiceㅠㅠ So fresh. ![Neatly arranged side dishes for haesintang](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwacheon-haesintang-kalguksu-course/gwacheon-haesintang-kalguksu-course-13-1dj9z-900.webp) ## A full spread where even the side dishes were excellent And the neatly arranged side dishes. Every single one was truly deliciousㅠㅠ Is steamed egg really included? My child loves it so much! ![Kimchi, salad, and other side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwacheon-haesintang-kalguksu-course/gwacheon-haesintang-kalguksu-course-14-1blgr-900.webp) The kimchi was nicely mild, and there was everything from salad and fresh geotjeori kimchi to pickled chili peppers! ![Side dishes including octopus jeotgal](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwacheon-haesintang-kalguksu-course/gwacheon-haesintang-kalguksu-course-15-g1z7x-900.webp) Wow, there was even octopus jeotgal, salted fermented octopus. My dad said it was really delicious. Just eating the side dishes made me think, ah, this place really knows what it is doing. The side dishes were so good that all the guests behind us were asking for refill after refill. ![Guide to enjoying haesintang](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwacheon-haesintang-kalguksu-course/gwacheon-haesintang-kalguksu-course-16-4u7r8-900.webp) ## Cordyceps haesintang: how was the broth? Make sure to read the guide on how to enjoy haesintang, haha. It really gives you energy. I had been feeling especially low on energy latelyㅠㅠ ![Haesintang for two topped with cordyceps](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwacheon-haesintang-kalguksu-course/gwacheon-haesintang-kalguksu-course-17-1r43n-900.webp) Finally, the haesintang for two arrived. Can you see the mushrooms on top? They are cordyceps, mushrooms said to be especially precious for the body. ![Haesintang with seafood, octopus, and chicken](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwacheon-haesintang-kalguksu-course/gwacheon-haesintang-kalguksu-course-18-tc4cg-900.webp) The table was full, with abundant seafood, fresh octopus, and chicken underneath too. ![Haesintang with fresh scallops](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwacheon-haesintang-kalguksu-course/gwacheon-haesintang-kalguksu-course-19-yazqr-900.webp) The scallops were so plump, so plump. More than anything, I loved how fresh they were. The ingredients themselves are so good—that must be where this flavor comes from, right? ![Cooking octopus and haesintang broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwacheon-haesintang-kalguksu-course/gwacheon-haesintang-kalguksu-course-20-azbs8-1200.webp) I took a picture because the octopus cooking away was so pretty. The broth was superb. ![Haesintang with large abalone](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwacheon-haesintang-kalguksu-course/gwacheon-haesintang-kalguksu-course-21-1mjc3-900.webp) Everyone, if you stop by Seoul Grand Park and need to rebuild your drained energy, this is a place you absolutely have to visit. The abalone was really huge too. The broth itself was intensely rich, but it was delicious and refreshing without being heavy, so I just kept going back for more and more. I am craving it again already. ![A full spread of rich, refreshing haesintang](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwacheon-haesintang-kalguksu-course/gwacheon-haesintang-kalguksu-course-22-1ys81-900.webp) Truly the ultimate restorative meal. Of the foods I have eaten lately, this was one I found incredibly delicious while sweating buckets—not spicy at all, either. ![Haesintang with chojang and soy sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwacheon-haesintang-kalguksu-course/gwacheon-haesintang-kalguksu-course-23-1mxy5-900.webp) The chojang dipping sauce was delicious, the soy sauce was delicious too—officially approved as a great restaurant near Seoul Grand Park, bang bang bang. My dad even had a daytime drink for the first time in a while, haha. If you have it with haesintang, you do not get drunk. Hehe. ![Kalguksu noodles full of minari fragrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwacheon-haesintang-kalguksu-course/gwacheon-haesintang-kalguksu-course-24-q36rk-900.webp) ## Finish with kalguksu noodles The kalguksu noodles at the end are essential. They were thin and incredibly soft, full of the fragrance of minari (water celery), haha. Gwacheon Haesintang really felt like I had finally given my hard-working body a proper gift for the first time in ages, haha. ## Where it is - Gwacheon Haesintang Gwacheon Main Branch (과천해신탕 과천본점) (과천해신탕 과천본점) - 31 Byeoryangsangga 1-ro, 203, 2F, Jeil Sangg a, Gwacheon-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea (경기 과천시 별양상가1로 31 제일상가 2층 203호) - 경기도 과천시 별양상가1로 31 제일상가 2층 203호 - 37.4287103, 126.9931949 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EA%B3%BC%EC%B2%9C%ED%95%B4%EC%8B%A0%ED%83%95%20%EA%B3%BC%EC%B2%9C%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@37.4287103,126.9931949,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@weekday-soup-door/gwacheon-haesintang-kalguksu-course/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
