Sunday lunch kongguksu with free parking in Sangam: Sangam Hoegwan

I had weekend lunch at Sangam Hoegwan, a Sangam kongguksu (cold soy milk noodle soup) restaurant! This place is open Saturdays and Sundays too, and there's free parking in the building's basement lot, so it's super convenient for a weekend lunch. Beyond the basic kongguksu, the pumpkin kongguksu, kimchi pancake and king mandu (dumplings) were all amazing too — highly recommend it if you're looking for a good lunch spot in Sangam-dong!!✨️

Sangam Hoegwan

Where is Sangam Hoegwan? Sangam IT Tower food court, open on Sundays

Sangam Hoegwan, this Sangam kongguksu favorite, is located in the food court on basement level 1 of Sangam IT Tower. You'll find it if you head toward the back of the food court. We visited on a Sunday, and while every other shop was closed, this one was open! Seeing so many customers on a Sunday made me think — this really is a beloved Sangam restaurant.

Being a food court, there were plenty of large tables to eat comfortably at.

Sangam Hoegwan apparently ran out of Savoy City in Sangam-dong since 2019 before moving to Sangam IT Tower in 2025. A friend who works in Sangam-dong told me Sangam Hoegwan is a well-known kongguksu spot among office workers there!😍

Sangam Hoegwan menu and how to order: kiosk ordering and free noodle refills

Ordering is done at the kiosk (you can register your car parking on the tablet right next to the kiosk!)

There were plenty of great dishes: kongguksu, bibim noodles, perilla oil milmyeon, pumpkin kongguksu, ube kongguksu, kimchi pancake, king mandu (dumplings) and more. What's special here is that noodle refills are free, so you can order a bigger portion at no extra cost, or just add more noodles for free mid-meal if you're still hungry.

Even though we ordered the basic size, we ended up super full. And I'm a big eater — this place doesn't skimp on portions😉

There were three of us, and we ordered the pumpkin kongguksu mandu set, kongguksu mandu set, plain kongguksu, and kimchi pancake. The mandu set comes with two dumplings added to the noodle dish.

You grab your own dishes, side plates, napkins, wet wipes, salt and sugar self-serve.

Our food came out fast! The table was completely full.

Kongguksu mandu set: thick soy milk broth that needs no salt

This is the kongguksu mandu set I ordered. I could totally see why the kongguksu here is famous😲

The broth was thick and nutty, like it wasn't watered down at all, and the noodles were nice and chewy. Such delicious kongguksu! It had that real kongguksu-shop confidence, the kind that lets the soy milk broth do all the talking.

The broth was so nutty and delicious. I usually add salt to season it, but this soy milk broth was already so good on its own that I ate it plain, no salt. Topping it with the spicy-sweet fresh kimchi made it absolutely incredible!!!❤️

What does pumpkin kongguksu taste like?

This is the pumpkin kongguksu my friend ordered. This thing is amazing. It was way tastier than I expected — total surprise!✨️

It's pumpkin mixed into the soy milk broth, and it's sweet and nutty — exactly my type😍 It was my first time trying pumpkin kongguksu and it was so good! Highly recommend this one.

The noodles were chewy too, so the texture was excellent.

King mandu and kimchi pancake alongside the chilled kongguksu

Adding the dumplings on top made us completely full! The noodle portion wasn't small to begin with, and the dumplings were big too. The meat mandu had a really full, hearty filling. Soft and nutty, so delicious. The king mandu (dumplings) were piping hot, which paired really well with the cool kongguksu☺️

And the kimchi pancake, crispy outside and tender inside — amazing!! Nicely fried till crispy and golden brown. The kimchi flavor was rich too, so tasty.

Crispy outside, tender inside — the best kimchi pancake👍

We finished the kongguksu down to the last drop of broth. Seriously, everything here is delicious!!👏

If you're looking for a great lunch spot in Sangam-dong, I recommend Sangam Hoegwan, this Sangam kongguksu favorite! It's open on weekends too, so feel free to stop by😊
