About
A bustling 24-hour neighborhood staple near Gwangmyeong Sageori Station serving rich, milky blood sausage soup and hearty hangover stews.
Perched near Gwangmyeong Market just a short walk from Gwangmyeong Sageori Station, Uri Halmae Sundaeguk Main Branch is an unfussy neighborhood staple running around the clock. Its white-and-red sign welcomes a steady stream of diners day and night, from solo neighborhood regulars grabbing a brisk bite to late-night groups gathering over steaming hot pots. The dining room moves at a swift pace, powered by notably attentive staff and a help-yourself banchan station stocked with kimchi, tart kkakdugi, and pickled onions. The kitchen leans into hearty comfort food with a sprawling menu anchored by sundaeguk. The classic blood sausage soup arrives bubbling with a stark, milky-white broth that leans savory, mild, and subtly sweet, brimming with blood sausage, tender head meat, and a heavy scatter of wild perilla seed powder. Those craving heat can opt for the eolkeun (spicy) sundaeguk, which delivers a sharp, tongue-tingling broth built for curing late nights, or order the sundaeguk and suyuk combo to sample sliced boiled head meat that is exceptionally tender, clean-tasting, and meant to be paired with plump, savory saeujeot (salted shrimp). Beyond individual stone bowls, the menu accommodates shared feasts. The sundae and beef tripe hot pot (sundae sogopchang jeongol) comes generously heaped on a portable burner, simmering into a rich stew suited for groups settling in with a bottle of soju. Diners also gravitate toward the ppyeo haejangguk, loaded with tender cabbage greens, coarse black pepper, and massive pork spine bones that yield fork-tender meat with minimal effort. Takeout orders are assembled just as generously, packing abundant meat, broth, seasoning pastes, and squid jeotgal for a full spread at home. Whether for a dawn hangover cure, an afternoon lunch, or an unhurried midnight supper, it remains a dependable fixture of Gwangmyeong’s local dining scene.
