If you’re looking for a refreshing summer dish in Seoul, look no further than Jinju Hoegwan, a well-known kongguksu (noodles in cold soybean soup) restaurant located near City Hall Station. Kongguksu is a traditional Korean dish that’s perfect for beating the heat, and Jinju Hoegwan has been serving up some of the best in the city for years.
The dish is made by boiling and grinding soybeans into a creamy, nutty broth that’s served chilled with noodles. It’s a simple yet satisfying meal that’s both healthy and delicious. Jinju Hoegwan’s kongguksu is available from March to November, so you can enjoy it throughout the spring, summer, and fall.
But kongguksu isn’t the only thing on the menu at Jinju Hoegwan. The staff highly recommends their kimchi bokkeumbap (kimchi fried rice), which is freshly roasted by the staff for each order. The combination of the spicy, tangy kimchi and the crispy, golden rice is simply irresistible. They also serve up a mean kimchi jjigae (kimchi stew) and some delicious samgyeopsal (grilled pork belly) if you’re in the mood for something a little heartier.
The atmosphere at Jinju Hoegwan is cozy and welcoming, with a rustic charm that makes you feel right at home. The staff is friendly and attentive, always ready to offer recommendations or answer any questions you might have.
