Hangangno Kalguksu 한강로칼국수

Clams purged so thoroughly that no sand turns up give the broth of the baek-hap kalguksu its clean depth, and the noodles stay chewy in it. Two or more portions come out together in one large bowl. The kitchen also makes bibim kalguksu tossed in spicy sauce and a mazesoba-style kalguksu with a charred, smoky edge, so a group can split a soup noodle and a dry one. Bossam, boiled pork eaten with kimchi, arrives tender and free of gamey smell. Sides such as crisp minari (water dropwort) shrimp pancake and a clam soup suit a table drinking soju. The room is larger than the frontage suggests, there are a few solo tables, and wheelchairs and strollers get in despite a step at the entrance. It sits near Sookmyung Women's University Station.
