(43 reviews)Located in Miwon-dong, Gunsan, Bokseongru is famed as one of Korea’s five top jjambbong (spicy seafood noodle) shops. While they serve jajangmyeon, fried rice and sweet-and-sour pork, the signature jjambbong stands out — a deep, seafood-rich broth simmered with squid, mussels and cockles, finished with savory stir-fried pork for extra umami. Frequently featured in the media, the restaurant often has lines, so plan accordingly.
