Hello!

Recently, I discovered a great restaurant in Jeongbal-san, Ilsan,

where I enjoyed some delicious kalguksu (noodle soup) and dumplings.

I wanted to share this gem with others!

It's conveniently located near Ilsan Lake Park,

and just a 10-minute walk from Jeongbal-san Station or Madu Station,

making it a perfect spot to visit when you're in Ilsan.

It's already famous among locals,

with many visitors stopping by after exploring Western Dom or La Festa.

When I went in the evening,

the place was quite busy!

During peak times, there can be a wait,

which speaks to its popularity!

It's not just busy in the evenings; it's also well-known as a lunch spot for office workers,

so people keep coming for both lunch and dinner.

They even have a receipt review event,

so I recommend writing a photo review to get a free dish!

The self-service bar offers two types of kimchi and small plates,

and both kinds of kimchi were incredibly tasty,

making the main dishes even more delicious!

I went back for seconds and thirds!

When the dumplings and kalguksu are paired with the kimchi,

the flavor synergy is explosive!

You can really feel the importance of kimchi here!

The green onion kimchi I had was the best I've ever tasted!

It paired perfectly with the rich bone broth kalguksu.

Daejong Kalguksu in Ilsan is known for its delicious kimchi and kalguksu,

and after tasting it, I understand why it gets so much praise.

I ordered the following:

- Hand-made dumplings (meat/kimchi)

- Bone broth kalguksu

- Seafood chive pancake

The side dishes looked great, so I recommend coming with family or friends!

The seafood chive pancake comes in a regular version and one loaded with seafood,

and I chose the seafood option!

The hand-made dumplings were large and filled to the brim,

and they were absolutely delicious!

The dumpling skin was thin yet chewy,

making it a delightful experience.

Daejong Kalguksu makes their dumplings and noodle dough from scratch,

which is why the flavors are so well-crafted.

People of all ages can enjoy the food here!

The seafood chive pancake came with soy sauce for dipping.

Unlike some seafood pancakes that skimp on the seafood,

Daejong Kalguksu's version was loaded with ingredients.

Every bite was crispy and satisfying!

The pancake is quite large,

making it great for gatherings or family meals.

I love chive pancakes and could easily finish one by myself!

Daejong Kalguksu has seating for solo diners and group gatherings,

making it accessible for everyone.

I felt it was a place where anyone could feel comfortable.

I would love to come back for a warm and hearty meal!

However, since all the side dishes are delicious,

I recommend coming with friends or family to try more dishes!

The chive pancake wasn't greasy or heavy; instead,

it was crispy and perfectly balanced with the seafood and chives.

Whether you're a chive pancake lover or usually not a fan,

you'll find it easy to enjoy with kalguksu.

The filling was so generous that I plan to order it again!

Daejong Kalguksu puts a lot of care into their main dishes and side items,

which really shows in the quality.

The deep flavor of the bone broth in the kalguksu is remarkable.

I used to think kalguksu should be seafood-based,

but Daejong Kalguksu changed my mind!

The broth, simmered for over 30 hours, has a depth of flavor.

It's rich yet not overwhelming,

and pairs wonderfully with the kimchi.

The noodles are made from scratch and have a great texture.

Overall, Daejong Kalguksu is one of the most satisfying restaurants in Ilsan!

If you love dumplings or kalguksu,

I highly recommend visiting Daejong Kalguksu!
