Sundae soup for two near Juan Station: meat-only vs clear at Suraok

Today I'm introducing a sundaeguk (blood sausage soup) restaurant near Juan Station! It's a proper sundaeguk spot so please do read on haha, I went to visit [Suraok Sundaeguk Juan Station Branch]~

Where is Suraok Sundaeguk? Right beside Exit 6 of Juan Station

Suraok Sundaeguk Juan Station Branch is located right next to Exit 6 of Juan Station~ It's on the ground floor along the main road so it's easy to find :) It's a famous sundaeguk specialty restaurant near Juan Station~

Inside the restaurant

The interior was spacious and clean! I visited during dinner time so there were a lot of customers and I couldn't photograph every seat, but there were plenty of tables which was great!! It seems like it would also be good for solo dining even during a busy lunch hour haha

The menu and this visit's order: meat-only and clear sundaeguk with the set upgrade

Besides the original Suraok Sundaeguk, there's also spicy sundaeguk, clear sundaeguk, kids' sundaeguk, and even sundae hot pot!! And you can also choose meat-only or sundae-only :) Adding ₩4,000 gets you the set (a taste of sundae, boiled pork, and liver)~

This is what we ordered! Suraok Sundaeguk (meat-only), clear sundaeguk (original). We added the set upgrade to both :)

If you take part in the review event you can also get a sundae set meal, alcohol, or a drink, so keep that in mind :)

Banchan and the self-serve refill corner

The basic banchan (side dishes) came out! Diced radish kimchi, chives, onion, salted shrimp, ssamjang, and cheongyang chili~

If you're short on any banchan you can just help yourself at the self-serve corner~ The diced radish kimchi was genuinely delicious that day,,

What the 4,000 won set adds: six pieces of sundae, boiled pork and liver

The set dish came out first!! Six pieces of sundae plus boiled pork and liver,, that's such a great amount for just a ₩4,000 add-on, the value is amazing!!

When I tried it the taste was incredible too!! I don't really like sundae, but Suraok's sundae has just the right amount of blood and meat inside so it's soft, but with zero pork smell!! The liver also had a classic, proper taste, so good even with just a light dip of salt!!

The sundae and liver were tasty, but the boiled pork was truly amazing! It's strange how there's zero pork smell at all,, I thought it would be dry since it's lean, but it was incredibly soft!! I've also had boiled pork at famous specialty places, but this actually tasted even better, which surprised me!! I really can't eat boiled pork or sundae because of the pork smell, but I ate this so happily and was completely satisfied :)

How does the meat-only Suraok sundaeguk taste?

While we were enjoying the boiled pork and sundae, the sundaeguk came out quickly too!! First up is the Suraok Sundaeguk meat-only haha. I ordered meat-only since I don't like sundae~ but after tasting the sundae in the set, I wish I'd ordered the original instead ㅠㅡㅠ that's how good the sundae was :)

Suraok Sundaeguk has a little bit of dadegi (chili paste seasoning) mixed in, the style we're all familiar with as sundaeguk~ The seasoning was exactly right, the very essence of sundaeguk!! It's not spicy or salty so it's delicious without needing to add anything extra!

Ordering meat-only meant it was packed full of boiled pork haha. Once again, absolutely no pork smell, such a clean flavor!! The best sundaeguk I've ever had in my life haha

It's even better if you mix in rice a little at a time~ Eating it with the diced radish kimchi adds a crunchy texture that makes it even tastier!!

Clear sundaeguk original: mild enough for kids

My husband's clear sundaeguk original also came out!! The broth being clear and milky white was its distinguishing feature~

I was so surprised the broth was as clear and smooth as gomtang (bone broth soup)!! I was amazed by a broth flavor that rivals seolleongtang (ox bone soup),, I think kids would eat this very happily too!

My husband must have liked it too, since he mixed in rice and finished off even the broth~ The sundaeguk was so delicious that we ate ourselves full at dinner :)

Free yakult for dessert and 1,000 won off takeout

They also give you free yakult for dessert~ The service is fantastic too haha. Finishing off a delicious sundaeguk meal with yakult is the best :)

There's even a ₩1,000 discount on all menu items for takeout! It seems like it would be nice to get it uncooked and boil it at home yourself haha. There's also parking, so it would be great for a family meal too!

I haven't tried that many sundaeguk restaurants, but this is the most delicious sundaeguk I've ever had in my life :) If you're looking for a sundaeguk specialty restaurant near Juan Station, I highly recommend visiting [Suraok Sundaeguk Juan Station Branch]!
