About
Bustling kalguksu spot by Bukhansan Ui Station serving hot pot-style seafood followed by chewy hand-cut noodles in rich broth.
Steps from Exit 2 of Bukhansan Ui Station, Park Seung Gwang Seafood Hand-Cut Noodle (Bukhansan Ui branch) greets weary hikers descending the mountain trails and guests returning from the nearby Paraspara resort. The spacious dining room—bright, tidy, and outfitted with wide-set tables—fills naturally with multigenerational families and trail groups craving a hot meal in Gangbuk. The signature dish here is billed as noodle soup, but it arrives looking like a feast of fresh seafood hot pot. The bubbling broth comes stacked with octopus, squid, abalone, scallops, mussels, and clams, devoid of any noodles at first. Diners pluck the tender shellfish and squid straight from the pot, dipping pieces into wasabi soy sauce or chogochujang. The seafood releases its clean salinity directly into the stock, transforming it into an intensely clear, restorative base. Only after the shellfish shells are cleared and the broth reaches its peak do the fresh hand-cut noodles hit the table, along with extra broth supplied by the staff. Boiled right at the table, the noodles maintain an elastic chew that soaks up the deep seafood essence without growing mushy. To accompany the soup, orders of haemul pajeon (seafood green onion pancake) are ubiquitous. Fried until exceptionally crisp, the pancake leans closer in texture to golden tempura than standard griddle fare, offering an audible crunch packed with seafood beneath a light crust. Freshly dressed geotjeori kimchi, readily restocked at the clean self-service bar, provides the necessary brisk, peppery contrast to cut through the broth and fry-crisp pancake. Backed by practical amenities like leftover packing containers, high chairs, and outdoor waiting benches, this outpost captures the hearty, communal essence of a proper post-hike feast.
