Arriving around 5pm just as break time ended, the writer ordered kalguksu for two (20,000 won) and a suyuk plate (15,000 won), which came with complimentary barley rice, kimchi and fresh vegetable salad. The clam broth at Daseon Kalguksu tasted clean, the noodles were springy and the pork was moist with no gamey smell, making it a solid lunch or dinner near Suwon Station. ## Good to know - **Address**: 1st floor, 48 Hyanggyo-ro, Paldal-gu, Suwon-si, Gyeonggi-do (Daseon Kalguksu) - **Hours**: 10:30–22:00 (break time 15:30–17:00) - **Closed**: Sep 24–25, 2026 - **Kalguksu for two**: 20,000 won - **Suyuk (boiled pork) plate**: 15,000 won - **Complimentary sides**: Barley rice, kimchi, fresh vegetable salad - **Table setting**: Pickled chili peppers, vinegar-chili sauce, pepper, small plates, paper cups *as written by the visitor on Sep 14, 2026* Suwon Station is a place I stop by every time I'm in Gyeonggi-do, and this time, while wandering around the Rodeo Street area, I suddenly got hungry haha!! While looking for somewhere to eat, I found Daseon Kalguksu Main Branch — the exterior already smelled like a hidden gem, and they serve barley rice as a default side along with kalguksu (knife-cut noodle soup) and bossam (boiled pork) :) ![Exterior of Daseon Kalguksu Main Branch on Hyanggyo-ro near Suwon Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-station-kalguksu-barley-rice-suyuk/suwon-station-kalguksu-barley-rice-suyuk-01-186qx-900.webp) ## Where is Daseon Kalguksu Main Branch, and what are its hours? Daseon Kalguksu Main Branch is on the 1st floor of 48 Hyanggyo-ro, Paldal-gu, Suwon-si, Gyeonggi-do, and it's open 10:30 – 22:00.

I was a little worried and thought maybe we should wait a bit before going in, but there were already people eating inside, so we just walked in without waiting, hehe. Turnover seems fast, so it should be fine even during peak times like Suwon lunch hour! ![View of the dining hall tables at Daseon Kalguksu Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-station-kalguksu-barley-rice-suyuk/suwon-station-kalguksu-barley-rice-suyuk-03-19tno-900.webp) ## What's on the menu: kalguksu, kal-nakji and suyuk Here's the menu at Daseon Kalguksu, a Suwon favorite. They serve not just kalguksu but also kal-nakji (spicy octopus noodle soup) and bossam, so just picking what to order took over 5 minutes ㅠ.ㅠ (why is everything so delicious 😂😂) ![Menu board listing kalguksu, kal-nakji, and bossam](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-station-kalguksu-barley-rice-suyuk/suwon-station-kalguksu-barley-rice-suyuk-04-qcejl-900.webp) Every table has pickled hot peppers, vinegar-chili sauce, and pepper. There are also small plates and paper cups, so feel free to use them right away if you need them :) ![Pickled hot peppers, vinegar-chili sauce, and pepper on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-station-kalguksu-barley-rice-suyuk/suwon-station-kalguksu-barley-rice-suyuk-05-po9d5-900.webp) ## Free barley rice, kimchi and fresh vegetable salad with every order Right after we ordered, they brought out this barley rice. These days a lot of kalguksu places don't give you barley rice, so Daseon Kalguksu giving it as a default side is amazing 😍 Mix it in with a good squeeze of vinegar-chili sauce and it's absolutely delicious (honestly I'd come back just for the barley rice.) ![A bowl of complimentary barley rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-station-kalguksu-barley-rice-suyuk/suwon-station-kalguksu-barley-rice-suyuk-06-1lrsc-900.webp) Kalguksu and kimchi go together so naturally it's basically automatic. Both the kimchi and the fresh vegetable salad were spicy-sweet and amazing at Daseon Kalguksu Main Branch (you can add extra into your barley rice too 😋) ![Spicy-sweet kimchi and fresh vegetable salad side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-station-kalguksu-barley-rice-suyuk/suwon-station-kalguksu-barley-rice-suyuk-07-zsvek-1200.webp) ## Prices: kalguksu for two 20,000 won, suyuk plate 15,000 won Here's what we ordered. - Kalguksu for two - ₩20,000 - Bossam plate - ₩15,000 ![Table spread with kalguksu for two and a bossam plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-station-kalguksu-barley-rice-suyuk/suwon-station-kalguksu-barley-rice-suyuk-08-1ysk3-900.webp) ### Why the original kalguksu arrives in separate single-serving bowls This is the original kalguksu. I thought ordering two portions would mean one big shared bowl, but they gave us separate bowls each, which actually turned out to be nice. Getting them separately makes it more comfortable to eat with coworkers or friends, so it's even better :) It's loaded with clams, chives, and gim (seaweed) flakes. Even though it's a single portion, the amount was huge. Since they cook it fresh the moment you order, the noodles stay bouncy and super chewy (●'◡'●) ![Original kalguksu topped with clams, chives, and gim flakes](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-station-kalguksu-barley-rice-suyuk/suwon-station-kalguksu-barley-rice-suyuk-09-11hvw-900.webp) With so many clams in it, the broth was clean, refreshing, and light. You know what that taste is like, right...? haha ![Clam-broth kalguksu soup and noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-station-kalguksu-barley-rice-suyuk/suwon-station-kalguksu-barley-rice-suyuk-10-ym8uy-900.webp) If the broth feels a bit plain, try adding some pickled hot peppers. A little spicy kick comes through and gives it a whole different flavor! ![Kalguksu eaten with added pickled hot peppers](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-station-kalguksu-barley-rice-suyuk/suwon-station-kalguksu-barley-rice-suyuk-11-1g2z1-900.webp) ### Suyuk plate eaten three ways with chives and salted shrimp sauce The bossam plate also comes out massive. The color of the well-boiled pork looked so good, and the sesame seeds sprinkled on top made the visual perfect too. ![A full plate of bossam sprinkled with sesame seeds](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-station-kalguksu-barley-rice-suyuk/suwon-station-kalguksu-barley-rice-suyuk-12-g2dsr-900.webp) Wrapped with the chives underneath the pork and the salted shrimp served alongside, it's the perfect bossam trio (*/ω＼*) The pork was cooked so well there was no gamey smell at all — soft, moist, and just plain delicious :) ![Bossam wrapped with chives and salted shrimp](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-station-kalguksu-barley-rice-suyuk/suwon-station-kalguksu-barley-rice-suyuk-13-dogj4-900.webp) ## Is Daseon Kalguksu worth a meal near Suwon Station?
