Eonyang Dak Kalguksu 언양닭칼국수

Half a chicken goes into every bowl of dak kalguksu, along with long-simmered chicken broth and chewy noodles made in-house. The tender meat is pulled off the bone as you go and eaten between mouthfuls of noodles, while spicy fresh kimchi cuts through the richness of the broth. Seating is generous, yet lunchtime still brings a wait. This is the original location of a chain with branches across the country, set in Eonyang-eup, the inland town west of central Ulsan whose name is tied to bulgogi.
