The namesake of Gohyang Kalguksu, the Kalguksu knife-cut noodles are handmade by the stall-owner Ms Cho Yonsoon.
You can watch Ms Cho in action as she brandishes a knife and slices away at a ball of hand-knead dough, dunks the noodles into a steaming vat of hot water, scoops it out into a gleaming metal bowl with a ladle of piping hot soup and presents it in front of you. Nothing like a hot bowl of soup to warm you up on a winter’s day!

The dumplings come in 2 flavours at Gohyang Kalguksu (the famous stall featured on Netflix’s Street Food documentary!).
I ordered the Dumpling Soup (KRW5,000, or SGD$5.80), which came with 2 kimchi dumplings and 4 meat dumplings (pictured here). The meat dumpling is GENEROUSLY filled with meat filling and incredibly flavourful and delicious! Between the two flavours, I personally prefer the meat over the kimchi dumpling, which has a rather mild, subdued flavour.

Ms Cho Yonsoon, owner of Gohyang Kalmykia, is famous for 2 items on her menu—kalguksu (knife-cut noodles) and mandu (dumplings, either soup or steamed). The best part? It’s delicious and AFFORDABLE, with everything priced at KRW5,000, or SGD$5.80! 😋🥟🍲👍🏼 Best meal I had in South Korea! (Check out my review on YouTube now—https://youtu.be/aIM9nqCfWmE)
Gohyang Kalguksu was featured on Netflix’s Street Food episode on Korea, so I made my way down to the bustling Gwangjang Market to try it for myself.
I ordered the Dumpling Soup (KRW5,000, or SGD$5.80), which came with 6 dumplings (2 kimchi and 4 meat), each generously filled and BURSTING with delicious flavour. The dumpling (mandu) is wrapped in a semi-translucent skin that is slightly thick but has a silky mouthfeel. It was so good that my mum, brother and I ordered 3 bowls and finished everything, down to every last drop of the piping hot broth. 😋🥟🍲👍🏼 Best meal I had in South Korea!
