After a first visit with a friend in summer, the writer returned on a weekday evening with her mom and ordered 4 servings of charcoal dakgalbi and 2 servings of makguksu (cold buckwheat noodles), all pre-seared in the kitchen and then finished tableside by the staff. The smoky chicken thigh paired with the tangy-sweet noodles made Seorak Makguksu a place worth a third visit. ## Good to know - **What we ordered**: Charcoal dakgalbi, 4 servings (2 first, then 2 more); makguksu, 2 servings - **Grilling method**: Charcoal rather than a griddle; pre-seared in the kitchen, then grilled tableside by staff - **Hours**: 11:00 - 21:00 - **Parking**: Underground parking lot - **Address**: 1F, 211 Mansong-ro, Yangju-si, Gyeonggi-do - **Wait time**: There was a wait on a weekend visit last summer; weekday evenings are relaxed *as written by the visitor on Sep 6, 2026* This is the story of Seorak Makguksu Chuncheon Dakgalbi Yangju Branch, a Yangju dakgalbi spot where the makguksu (buckwheat noodles) pairing is the real standout. ![A full spread of charcoal dakgalbi at Seorak Makguksu Chuncheon Dakgalbi Yangju Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangju-charcoal-dakgalbi-mom-dinner/yangju-charcoal-dakgalbi-mom-dinner-01-88x8e-1200.webp) I'd been here once before with a friend over the summer and remembered it fondly, so this time I came back with my mom. I originally found it while looking for a good spot near Lakewood CC, and the second visit lived up to the first. ## Why we returned to Seorak Makguksu Chuncheon Dakgalbi near Lakewood CC Seorak Makguksu Chuncheon Dakgalbi Yangju Branch sits on Mansong-ro around Lakewood CC, and it always caught my eye whenever I passed by. Last summer, on a weekend, there was even a wait — but this time, on a weekday evening, we had a relaxed meal. ![Exterior of Seorak Makguksu Chuncheon Dakgalbi on Mansong-ro, Yangju](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangju-charcoal-dakgalbi-mom-dinner/yangju-charcoal-dakgalbi-mom-dinner-02-1gqjm-966.webp) When I first moved to Yangju, there weren't many restaurants around here. Not many people either, and finding somewhere to eat out wasn't easy. These days the vibe has changed a lot. ![Street view of the restaurant district near Lakewood CC](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangju-charcoal-dakgalbi-mom-dinner/yangju-charcoal-dakgalbi-mom-dinner-03-1r2k8-966.webp) New restaurants keep popping up, and plenty of places get packed at mealtimes now. The area around Lakewood CC in particular has built up a solid reputation as a good spot to eat out, with more and more good restaurants opening. Seorak Makguksu Chuncheon Dakgalbi Yangju Branch was always one I noticed — the parking out front was usually full whenever I drove by. ## What we ordered in Yangju: 4 servings of charcoal dakgalbi and 2 makguksu ![Menu board at Seorak Makguksu Chuncheon Dakgalbi Yangju Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangju-charcoal-dakgalbi-mom-dinner/yangju-charcoal-dakgalbi-mom-dinner-04-1ps1l-966.webp) This time, my mom and I ordered a total of four servings of charcoal dakgalbi and two servings of makguksu. ![Table set with a charcoal brazier before ordering](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangju-charcoal-dakgalbi-mom-dinner/yangju-charcoal-dakgalbi-mom-dinner-05-1nsu5-966.webp) The biggest thing about this place is that it's a Yangju dakgalbi specialist that grills over charcoal rather than on a regular griddle. ![Seasoned dakgalbi placed on the charcoal grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangju-charcoal-dakgalbi-mom-dinner/yangju-charcoal-dakgalbi-mom-dinner-06-81ppz-966.webp) Since it comes out after a pre-sear once you order, it does take a little time to arrive. ![Pre-seared charcoal dakgalbi served at the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangju-charcoal-dakgalbi-mom-dinner/yangju-charcoal-dakgalbi-mom-dinner-07-sowbh-966.webp) So I'd recommend ordering generously the first time around — if you order more later, it needs another round of pre-searing. Personally, I think three servings is about right for two adults. ## Is the makguksu at Seorak Makguksu worth ordering first? ![The first bowl of makguksu served](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangju-charcoal-dakgalbi-mom-dinner/yangju-charcoal-dakgalbi-mom-dinner-08-1ew8w-966.webp) The makguksu that arrived first was already delicious. ![Makguksu before adding sugar and vinegar](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangju-charcoal-dakgalbi-mom-dinner/yangju-charcoal-dakgalbi-mom-dinner-09-ja2wd-966.webp) Mixed with a bit of sugar and vinegar, that tangy-sweet aroma really came through and got my appetite going. ![Tangy-sweet makguksu after mixing](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangju-charcoal-dakgalbi-mom-dinner/yangju-charcoal-dakgalbi-mom-dinner-10-j537e-966.webp) The buckwheat noodles' texture was great, and the seasoning was just right, so my chopsticks kept going back for more. ![Buckwheat makguksu noodles lifted with chopsticks](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangju-charcoal-dakgalbi-mom-dinner/yangju-charcoal-dakgalbi-mom-dinner-11-1twxk-966.webp) One bowl alone would've been filling, but my mom and I both eat pretty well, so between us we finished 2 servings of dakgalbi and then ordered 2 more. ![A plate of extra charcoal dakgalbi ordered on top](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangju-charcoal-dakgalbi-mom-dinner/yangju-charcoal-dakgalbi-mom-dinner-12-1k0lt-966.webp) It was delicious with the makguksu and also worked well piled into a wrap. I could see exactly why so many people look for this place as a Lakewood CC restaurant. ## What the charcoal-grilled dakgalbi tastes like ![Close-up of red-seasoned charcoal dakgalbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangju-charcoal-dakgalbi-mom-dinner/yangju-charcoal-dakgalbi-mom-dinner-13-hpty4-966.webp) With that red sauce coating it, I expected it to be spicy, but it was milder than I thought and not too heavily seasoned. It's a flavor anyone could enjoy without much concern. ![A tender piece of grilled dakgalbi made from chicken thigh](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangju-charcoal-dakgalbi-mom-dinner/yangju-charcoal-dakgalbi-mom-dinner-14-v4sp6-966.webp) Above all, since they use chicken thigh, the texture was really tender. One bite and you get that juicy moisture along with the charcoal aroma layered in — I couldn't stop reaching for more. ![Dakgalbi grilling over the charcoal fire](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangju-charcoal-dakgalbi-mom-dinner/yangju-charcoal-dakgalbi-mom-dinner-15-jk4a7-966.webp) On top of that, since the staff grill it for you directly, you don't have to worry about the grilling yourself and can just relax and eat, which was another plus. ![Dakgalbi grilled by staff, plated at the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangju-charcoal-dakgalbi-mom-dinner/yangju-charcoal-dakgalbi-mom-dinner-16-sp5wn-966.webp) That also makes it a good choice for family meals out or visits with parents. ## The best way to eat Yangju dakgalbi: cabbage wraps with soy sauce and wasabi ![Basic side dishes served with the dakgalbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangju-charcoal-dakgalbi-mom-dinner/yangju-charcoal-dakgalbi-mom-dinner-17-1g0aq-966.webp) The side dishes that came with it were pretty satisfying too. ![Crunchy radish salad and cabbage for wraps](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangju-charcoal-dakgalbi-mom-dinner/yangju-charcoal-dakgalbi-mom-dinner-18-1um9z-966.webp) It was tasty with the crunchy radish salad, but the combo I really loved was dipping cabbage in the soy-wasabi sauce and eating it together with the dakgalbi. ![Cabbage dipped in soy-wasabi sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangju-charcoal-dakgalbi-mom-dinner/yangju-charcoal-dakgalbi-mom-dinner-19-1ivla-966.webp) The crunchy cabbage texture paired so well with the moist dakgalbi that I kept making wraps out of it. ![A wrap of cabbage topped with dakgalbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangju-charcoal-dakgalbi-mom-dinner/yangju-charcoal-dakgalbi-mom-dinner-20-pusbi-966.webp) Paired with the makguksu, it made for an even more filling meal. ![Dakgalbi and makguksu served together on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangju-charcoal-dakgalbi-mom-dinner/yangju-charcoal-dakgalbi-mom-dinner-21-shza3-966.webp) Personally, this combination is what makes it stand out among Yangju dakgalbi restaurants. ## Is Seorak Makguksu a good place to eat out near Lakewood CC?
