Donghae Haemul Kalguksu (동해해물칼국수)

Category: Restaurant - Seafood Restaurant
Nearest Subway Station: Heukseok Station (Line 9)
Distance from Subway Station: 88 meters (Exit 3)
District (gu): Dongjak-gu
GPS: 37.507841,126.963645
Description:
 
Kalguksu is usually made from seafood ingredients. However, sometimes instead of clams or anchovies, the broth is made from chicken stock instead. This restaurant's name is Donghae Haemul Kalguksu (East Sea Seafood Kalguksu) so I think it is safe to assume that they use seafood stock? No harm in asking first though :) Their kalguksu costs only 4,500 KRW per bowl. The store is open on weekdays from 10.30 to 8.00 PM. It closes at 3.00 PM on Saturday and is not open on Sunday.

Description:

Another in the series of cafes opened by family members of Super Junior (you can guess which group I like right now) is Handel and Gretel operated by the parents and younger brother of Yesung. This cafe is situated just in front of KBS so you can group your visits together with watching Super Junior Kiss The Radio and have a day full of Super Junior experience. It serves drinks, cakes and sandwiches and almost all of its customers are Super Junior's fans. (source)
