Noodles
About
Hand-cut noodles in a broth built from the clams dug out of the flats below.
Kalguksu means knife-cut noodles, and the seafood version on this coast is a different dish from the chicken-broth one served inland. The pot arrives loaded with clams still in their shells, and the broth is not seasoned so much as extracted — grey-white, faintly sweet, tasting of the tidal flats that start a few hundred metres away. You get through the shellfish first, then the noodles, which have been thickening the soup the whole time. It is the cheapest honest meal on the Masian strip and the one to pick when a whole tray of grilled shellfish is more commitment than you want before a flight.

Local tips
- Work through the clams first, then the noodles — by then the broth has body.
- The kimchi on the table is meant to go in the bowl, not just alongside it.
- Lighter and faster than the grilled-shellfish places next door if you're short on time.
- Closes earlier than the barbecue restaurants on the same road — this is a daytime meal.
Details
- No metro — car or taxi from Incheon Airport, about 20 minutes
