The meal came to 38,500 won for a large chicken kalguksu with a dumpling set and a large spicy chicken gomtang, and although the gomtang broth looked milky white it had a quiet kick, while the self-serve kimchi was spicy enough to go back for a refill. For noodle lovers, the chicken kalguksu is the better order over the gomtang. ## Good to know - **Chicken kalguksu (large) + 4 dumplings**: 14,500 won - **Chicken kalguksu**: 11,000 won - **Spicy chicken gomtang (large)**: 13,000 won - **Total paid**: 38,500 won - **Large portion upgrade**: 1,000 won - **Hours**: 11:00 - 21:00 - **Break time**: 15:00 - 17:00 - **Closed**: Mondays, with possible biweekly closures (check before visiting) - **Parking**: Dedicated parking lot - **Address**: 230 Songcheon-jungang-ro, Deokjin-gu, Jeonju, Jeonbuk (Songcheon-dong 2-ga 489-1) - **Price reference**: ₩14,500 ≈ $10.5 · ₩11,000 ≈ $8.1 · ₩13,000 ≈ $9.6 (2026-09-16) *as written by the visitor on Sep 16, 2026* ![Full table spread of chicken kalguksu at Eonyang Dak Kalguksu Songcheon-dong Eco City Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-hoseong-dong-chicken-kalguksu-spicy-kimchi/jeonju-hoseong-dong-chicken-kalguksu-spicy-kimchi-01-1bosn-900.webp) I tried the chicken kalguksu (칼국수, knife-cut noodle soup) and spicy chicken gomtang (곰탕, chicken bone broth) at Eonyang Dak Kalguksu Songcheon-dong Eco City Branch, a Jeonju Hoseong-dong restaurant. Half a chicken in a hearty bowl, thick chewy noodles, a nicely balanced amount of perilla powder, and deliciously spicy kimchi — here's my honest review of this Jeonju Hoseong-dong restaurant. ![A bowl of chicken kalguksu with half a chicken inside](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-hoseong-dong-chicken-kalguksu-spicy-kimchi/jeonju-hoseong-dong-chicken-kalguksu-spicy-kimchi-02-h8156-1200.webp) I wanted a warm, filling meal with hot broth, so I went to Eonyang Dak Kalguksu Songcheon-dong Eco City Branch. That day I ordered chicken kalguksu, dumplings, and spicy chicken gomtang. ![Table with chicken kalguksu, dumplings, and spicy chicken gomtang](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-hoseong-dong-chicken-kalguksu-spicy-kimchi/jeonju-hoseong-dong-chicken-kalguksu-spicy-kimchi-03-1d7zz-900.webp) ## What we ordered at Eonyang Dak Kalguksu and what it cost That day at Eonyang Dak Kalguksu Songcheon-dong Eco City Branch I ordered chicken kalguksu (large) + 4 dumplings for ₩14,500, chicken kalguksu for ₩11,000, and spicy chicken gomtang (large) for ₩13,000. Total: ₩38,500. ![Large chicken kalguksu and dumpling set spread](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-hoseong-dong-chicken-kalguksu-spicy-kimchi/jeonju-hoseong-dong-chicken-kalguksu-spicy-kimchi-04-1df9v-900.webp) You can upgrade to a large portion for just ₩1,000 more, which gets you a much more generous serving. ![Large-portion chicken kalguksu noodles and broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-hoseong-dong-chicken-kalguksu-spicy-kimchi/jeonju-hoseong-dong-chicken-kalguksu-spicy-kimchi-05-b9c0r-900.webp) ## Chicken kalguksu served with a big half chicken Eonyang's chicken kalguksu feels hearty from the broth alone. Above all, a big half chicken sat in the bowl, which made it look really satisfying. With that much chicken, one bowl of kalguksu alone would fill you up. And what I liked most was the noodles. They're not thin and light — they're on the thicker side, which gave a nice bite and chewy texture. ![Thick, chewy house-made chicken kalguksu noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-hoseong-dong-chicken-kalguksu-spicy-kimchi/jeonju-hoseong-dong-chicken-kalguksu-spicy-kimchi-06-10aws-900.webp) Even though I'd ordered spicy chicken gomtang, I ended up stealing these noodles from the other bowl the whole time because they were so good. I think I ate most of them, so the unexpected star of the day turned out to be the chicken kalguksu. ![Chicken and noodles lifted from the kalguksu bowl](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-hoseong-dong-chicken-kalguksu-spicy-kimchi/jeonju-hoseong-dong-chicken-kalguksu-spicy-kimchi-07-1hy02-900.webp) ## Perilla powder that is nutty without taking over the broth The chicken kalguksu broth here has perilla powder mixed in. ![Chicken kalguksu broth with perilla powder mixed in](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-hoseong-dong-chicken-kalguksu-spicy-kimchi/jeonju-hoseong-dong-chicken-kalguksu-spicy-kimchi-08-1etdc-900.webp) The perilla flavor wasn't so strong that it turned thick and heavy, but it also wasn't so faint that you couldn't taste it. It hit a good middle ground — nutty but not overwhelming. Since I got the large portion, there was too much noodle to add rice, but the broth was tasty enough that I think it would go well with rice too. ![Close-up of the perilla broth chicken kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-hoseong-dong-chicken-kalguksu-spicy-kimchi/jeonju-hoseong-dong-chicken-kalguksu-spicy-kimchi-09-1w1b9-900.webp) ## Is the spicy chicken gomtang really spicy? The dish I'd originally come to eat was the spicy chicken gomtang. It comes as a stone pot with rice already mixed in, and when it first arrived the broth looked surprisingly white, making me wonder, 'Is this really the spicy one?' ![Stone pot of spicy chicken gomtang served with rice mixed in](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-hoseong-dong-chicken-kalguksu-spicy-kimchi/jeonju-hoseong-dong-chicken-kalguksu-spicy-kimchi-10-1rl1s-900.webp) But my mind changed the moment I took a spoonful. ![A spoonful of spicy chicken gomtang broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-hoseong-dong-chicken-kalguksu-spicy-kimchi/jeonju-hoseong-dong-chicken-kalguksu-spicy-kimchi-11-1h51o-900.webp) The broth isn't very red, but once you taste it, there's a definite, subtly sharp spiciness. ![Chicken and rice inside the spicy chicken gomtang](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-hoseong-dong-chicken-kalguksu-spicy-kimchi/jeonju-hoseong-dong-chicken-kalguksu-spicy-kimchi-12-1v5h8-900.webp) It's noticeably spicier than it looks, which made it great to eat piping hot. ![Piping hot stone pot of spicy chicken gomtang](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-hoseong-dong-chicken-kalguksu-spicy-kimchi/jeonju-hoseong-dong-chicken-kalguksu-spicy-kimchi-13-3eg8v-900.webp) With rice already mixed in, it was a filling, satisfying bowl on its own. ![A full bowl of spicy chicken gomtang with rice mixed in](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-hoseong-dong-chicken-kalguksu-spicy-kimchi/jeonju-hoseong-dong-chicken-kalguksu-spicy-kimchi-14-6h4lf-900.webp) ## The self-serve kimchi is fiery, and worth a refill I have to mention Eonyang's kimchi. It's quite spicy. ![A plate of spicy kimchi side dish at Eonyang Dak Kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-hoseong-dong-chicken-kalguksu-spicy-kimchi/jeonju-hoseong-dong-chicken-kalguksu-spicy-kimchi-15-zs4qh-900.webp) The heat hits hard enough that you naturally reach for water, but oddly enough it's not just spicy for the sake of it — it's a deliciously spicy style that kept pulling me back for more. ![Spicy kimchi eaten alongside the kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-hoseong-dong-chicken-kalguksu-spicy-kimchi/jeonju-hoseong-dong-chicken-kalguksu-spicy-kimchi-16-7mj00-900.webp) I drank a lot of water because of the spice, but I still kept picking up more kimchi. Eaten with the kalguksu, the spicy kimchi paired well with the nutty broth too. In the end, I refilled it from the self-serve bar. ![Kimchi refilled from the self-serve bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-hoseong-dong-chicken-kalguksu-spicy-kimchi/jeonju-hoseong-dong-chicken-kalguksu-spicy-kimchi-17-163f7-m-900.webp) ## Chicken kalguksu or spicy chicken gomtang: which to order This Jeonju Hoseong-dong restaurant offers a large-size option, so I could eat generously. Since it's only ₩1,000 more than the regular size, going large is a great choice when you're hungry. ![A generously portioned large chicken kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-hoseong-dong-chicken-kalguksu-spicy-kimchi/jeonju-hoseong-dong-chicken-kalguksu-spicy-kimchi-18-1b3c4-900.webp) In particular, the big half chicken, the thick house-made noodles, and the well-balanced perilla powder all combined to make the chicken kalguksu quite impressive. ![Chicken kalguksu with half a chicken and thick noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-hoseong-dong-chicken-kalguksu-spicy-kimchi/jeonju-hoseong-dong-chicken-kalguksu-spicy-kimchi-19-1de8h-900.webp) Like me, you might end up ordering spicy chicken gomtang and then constantly stealing noodles from the person next to you. ![Chopsticks lifting chicken kalguksu noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-hoseong-dong-chicken-kalguksu-spicy-kimchi/jeonju-hoseong-dong-chicken-kalguksu-spicy-kimchi-20-15uv1-900.webp) The noodles were so much tastier than I expected that I kept reaching for them. Being house-made noodles, the thick, chewy texture was especially good. If you love noodles, don't do what I did and covet someone else's bowl — just order the kalguksu instead of the gomtang from the start. ![A partially eaten bowl of chicken kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-hoseong-dong-chicken-kalguksu-spicy-kimchi/jeonju-hoseong-dong-chicken-kalguksu-spicy-kimchi-21-1smer-900.webp) If you're a noodle lover, I'd recommend going with the chicken kalguksu. ![Closing shot recommending the chicken kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-hoseong-dong-chicken-kalguksu-spicy-kimchi/jeonju-hoseong-dong-chicken-kalguksu-spicy-kimchi-22-1k5hl-888.webp) ## Eonyang Dak Kalguksu Songcheon-dong Eco City Branch: hours, parking and address Hours are 11:00 - 21:00, with a break time from 15:00 - 17:00.
