Kong-guksu (Noodles in Cold Soybean Soup) Venues in Jeonju Geumam-dong District

JEONJU FOOD

Cold dishes are the best during warm weather. Today I’ll introduce two kongguksu (noodles in cold soybean soup) venues in Jeonju’s Geumam-dong district.

Geumam Soba

The first venue is ‘Geumam Soba’. The venue already appeared in many television shows and magazines. The quality of food is guaranteed.

I arrived only 10 minutes after the opening time, but I still had to wait in the line. Seems like more people are going for kongguksu lunch in the warm weather.

Kongguksu is 8,000 won, but goppaegi (double portion) is 9,000 won. You can also order the cold soybean soup alone.

Water and additional side dishes (kimchi and sweet pickled radish) are self-serve. The salt and sugar for kongguksu are on the table. Usually, the southwestern part of the country adds sugar, while the rest of the country adds salt.

Kongguksu is served slightly sweet, so make sure to say ‘no sugar’ if you don’t want sweet. The cold soybean soup in this warm weather seemed like heaven. And the potion was pretty big that I didn’t even manage to finish everything. I loved the thick cold soybean soup and the firm texture of the noodle!

​Geumam Soba
Address: Kirindaero 400-75, Deokjingu, Jeonju
Contact: 0507-1341-0945
Opening hours: 11:00~20:00 (closed on the first and third Tuesdays)

 

Taepyeongjip

The second venue is ‘Taepyeongjip’. This venue also appeared in media many times. Again, I went during the lunchtime and had to wait for about 15 minutes.

Taepyeongjip is pay-upon-order system. Kongguksu is 8,000 won and goppaegi (‘double portion‘) is 9,000 won. You may also order only the cold soybean noodle soup. The kongguksu here is also served sweet, so make sure to say ‘no sugar’ upon ordering.

The side dishes are kkakdugi (radish kimchi) and sweet pickled radish. The customers can refill the side dishes from the self-serve table. Water is self-serve too.

Paper cups, sugar, and salt are on the table.

Taepyeongjip’s kongguksu had ice cubes in it. I ordered ‘no sugar’ kongguksu, but the cold soybean soup was still thick, sweet, and nice. The noodle was also firm enough. The portion was big enough too.

 

Taepyeongjip
Address: Jogyeongdanro 3-6, Deokjingu, Jeonju
Contact: 063-255-2252
Opening hours: 11:00~20:00 (from May to September); 11:00~17:00 (from October to April); closed on Mondays

    Dear @Jeonjucity💝💝 this blog is really awesome.
    👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇
    Traditionally enjoyed during the summertime in Korea, this refreshing cold noodle dish requires just five ingredients: cucumbers, dried soybeans, pasta, salt and water. The base of the dish is a nutty and rich homemade soy-milk broth, which is served ice-cold over thin wheat noodles. This makes more sense to me since the noodles and broth are served very cold!

  • Jared Sandler

    It is interesting to learn that sugar is typically added to Kongguksu in the Jeolla provinces, whereas salt is the staple in the rest of the Korean peninsula. Based upon the pictures and description in the blog, Geumam Soba restaurant offers a generous goppaegi portion size. During the hot Korean summer weather, Kongguksu is one of the best culinary options!

  • Sakeel Rehmani

    I really glad to know about the recipe of kongguksu is really interesting. How typically Korean dishes are made with many ingredients it is so amazing. Its an unique experience to eat noodles love it..
    The best thing i like about the Taepyeongjip’s kongguksu is that it had ice cubes in it.

  • Hayat Khan

    Hello @Jeonjucity 🤗🤗🤗
    Kongguksu is the perfect dish to help you cool off on a hot day. Traditionally eaten during the summer, this chilled soy milk noodle dish is hearty enough ..

    I like Korean restaurants because each one only offered its specialties on the menu. Steamed dumplings, hot noodles & cold noodles are offered. I would like to try them all. the quality is best and given most restaurants have high standards.

  • Jed Rattikal

    We don’t have much cold food in my country despite being the tropical country so I would like to try Kongguksu. It’s a suitable food for summer or on the hot weather day. I like how you indicate that the southwestern part of the country adds sugar, while the rest of the country adds salt. It’s quite interesting how different regions do with this menu. I’m wondering why though.

  • Sharik Ali

    Kong-guksu or noodles in cold soybean soup is a seasonal Korean noodle dish served in a cold soy milk broth. In the Korean language, kong means soybean and guksu means noodles. It comprises noodles made with wheat flour and soup made from ground soybeans.

    Dear Jeonju, I am interested in each and every dish you have mentioned. Cold dishes are best in hot weather. Like KONG-GUKSU Very Best Taste The best place to taste KONG-GUKSU in Jeonju is ‘Geumam Soba’. The venue has already appeared in several television shows and magazines. The soak of people towards this is increasing day by day. The taste and quality of the food is fully guaranteed. I have eaten once but will come one more time, the taste is amazing.

  • Sameer Alam

    Educative and well informative blog.
    Hyee, @Jeonjucity can i get a blog on the delicious street food in Jeonju or in Korea.
    The interesting thing with this Hanok Village is that it’s not just a constructed replica of an old traditional village. It is an active, alive part of the city! Plenty of blocks, full of traditional buildings, which are used for shops, restaurants, pensions, even for regular houses! You can spend a a lot of time walking in the small streets of the village, enjoying the wonderful traditional buildings and relaxing (when the area is not overcrowded!). It’s an oasis inside Jeonju City!

  • Soontare Suntares

    Kongguksu sounds good for summer. It would help to reduce the hot feeling from the weather by eating the cold soy milk noodles. It’s hard to find kongguksu in my country so this is in the list I want to try when I visit Korea.

  • Munazir Ali

    Kong-guksu is definitely good for summers i never tried this type of noodles in my country. It nice that Jeonjucity has some unique dishes. I found the ingredients is typically found from outside korea🇰🇷🇰🇷🇰🇷 i will definitely eat it on my tour to Korea.
    However, the article is so knowledgeable.

    Thank @Jeonjucity for this amazing event.

  • Sameer Alam

    Kongguksu is a refreshing noodle dish in which noodles are served in savory soy milk. Perfect for hot summer days!

  • Sameer Alam

    Dear, friends let’s A Taste of Korea: Kong-guk-su 콩국수 – Cold Bean Noodle Soup a very delicious and unique recipe of korea love to eat it..

  • Sablu Khan

    Kongguksu is a refreshing noodle dish in which noodles are served in savory soy milk. Perfect for hot summer days.
    The key to making delicious soy milk for kongguksu is not to overcook the beans so that they retain their natural flavor. More often than not, a small amount of sesame seeds and/or nuts (such as pine nuts, peanuts, almonds, and walnuts) are pureed with the soybeans for an extra-nutty flavor.

    that is perfect for hot summer days! Kongguksu is a dish in which noodles are served in savory soy milk.

  • Anas Ali

    Summer’s specialty: Kong-guksu😋😋
    🌡 Temperatures are rising, people are beginning to sweat in an instant 💦 Strong indicators of summer having arrived☀ .
    This dish is traditionally vegetarian and it is easily veganized by removing the occasional egg. Best is to tell restaurant staff right upon ordering that any potential egg🥚 topping may be omitted in your serving. Besides the toppings, there are generally no large variations to this dish. I learn the basic formula of making Kong-guksu from this article which is:- cold soy milk + long noodles + garnish = Kong-guksu
    Thanks for this event and article 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
