Palace Seafood Kalguksu

Hello! I visited Palace Seafood Kalguksu, a true local gem in Chuncheon.

They only serve lunch? Do you know what that means?

It means it’s a real맛집 (matjip – delicious restaurant) 😮

You need to take off your shoes here, so please be aware if you’re sensitive!

There are two seating areas: floor seating and table seating.

Palace Seafood Kalguksu Menu

We ordered 4 servings of clam kalguksu.

Because we’re all serious about kalguksu…

Other customers seemed to be adding octopus or shrimp from the additional menu items!

Spoons and tissues are prepared in the table drawer.

The spoons were wrapped in disposable paper packaging, which made them feel even more hygienic.

Also, shredded radish kimchi and napa cabbage kimchi are provided on the side.

If you finish the provided kimchi, you can ask the owner for more!

We also added napa cabbage kimchi, and the fermentation levels were different lol

Personally, I found the slightly fermented kimchi more delicious than the freshly made one.

The barley rice comes out first, and if you mix it with shredded radish kimchi and gochujang, it’s divine…

Honestly, I could eat 3 bowls of this alone…

The shredded radish kimchi is sweet and spicy, totally my style 😍😍

Finally, the clam kalguksu has arrived!

The noodles are uniquely curly, looking like handmade noodles!!

It seemed like they made the noodles themselves… (could be wrong)

Shrimp are included by default, one per person.

If you want extra, please check and order.

I loved that there was no floury taste and it was clean!

There were also a lot of clams packed in.

Honestly, I wasn’t even hungry… haha, but the taste made me overeat…

Customers kept coming in even while we were eating!

I truly felt there was a clear reason why they only serve lunch.

Ending with a photo of a cat that seems to live nearby ><

It’s a bit fierce, so be careful not to get hurt everyone ㅎ

If you want a simple meal and want to go to a truly delicious restaurant!

Are there really people who go all the way to Jebudo for kalguksu?

I highly recommend you come here for a bowl!!!
