Hello! I visited Palace Seafood Kalguksu, a true local gem in Chuncheon<\/a>.<\/p>\n

They only serve lunch? Do you know what that means?<\/p>\n

It means it’s a real\ub9db\uc9d1 (matjip – delicious restaurant) \ud83d\ude2e<\/p>\n

Palace Seafood Kalguksu Menu<\/h3>\n

We ordered 4 servings of clam kalguksu.<\/p>\n

Because we’re all serious about kalguksu…<\/p>\n

Other customers seemed to be adding octopus or shrimp from the additional menu items!<\/p>\n

Spoons and tissues are prepared in the table drawer.<\/p>\n

The spoons were wrapped in disposable paper packaging, which made them feel even more hygienic.<\/p>\n

Also, shredded radish kimchi and napa cabbage kimchi are provided on the side.<\/p>\n

If you finish the provided kimchi, you can ask the owner for more!<\/p>\n

We also added napa cabbage kimchi, and the fermentation levels were different lol<\/p>\n

Personally, I found the slightly fermented kimchi more delicious than the freshly made one.<\/p>\n

The barley rice comes out first, and if you mix it with shredded radish kimchi and gochujang, it’s divine…<\/p>\n

Honestly, I could eat 3 bowls of this alone…<\/p>\n

The shredded radish kimchi is sweet and spicy, totally my style \ud83d\ude0d\ud83d\ude0d<\/p>\n

Finally, the clam kalguksu has arrived!<\/p>\n

The noodles are uniquely curly, looking like handmade noodles!!<\/p>\n

It seemed like they made the noodles themselves… (could be wrong)<\/p>\n

Shrimp are included by default, one per person.<\/p>\n

If you want extra, please check and order.<\/p>\n

I loved that there was no floury taste and it was clean!<\/p>\n

There were also a lot of clams packed in.<\/p>\n

Honestly, I wasn’t even hungry… haha, but the taste made me overeat…<\/p>\n

Customers kept coming in even while we were eating!<\/p>\n

I truly felt there was a clear reason why they only serve lunch.<\/p>\n

It’s a bit fierce, so be careful not to get hurt everyone \u314e<\/p>\n

If you want a simple meal and want to go to a truly delicious restaurant!<\/p>\n

Are there really people who go all the way to Jebudo for kalguksu?<\/p>\n

I highly recommend you come here for a bowl!!!<\/p>\n
