Top 10 Noodles & Soups Restaurants in Gangnam

Loved by locals and travelers alike, Haehwaok’s bowls are powered by its “888 Jinkuk”—a stock simmered three times for eight hours, yielding a broth that is deep yet startlingly clean. The gomtang and bogeuntguk carry that slow-simmered collagen glow, while Jeolla-style beef-scallop-kimchi samhap turns a soup meal into a mini feast. If the night runs late or the morning starts early, this is your all-day anchor.

The space feels quietly focused, and reservations are managed manually, so do check confirmation through CATCHTABLE messages before you go.

A daytime lifeline and evening hangout, this kalguksu specialist leans on a clean clam broth that tastes like sea breeze without the brine. Office crews swear by the generous clam-to-noodle ratio, and the vibe shifts smoothly at night into a cheerful pocha style with sharable plates.

The first grilled-chicken noodle soup spot in Korea, and it tastes like a eureka moment. A 12-hour chicken bone broth meets bouncy, handmade daily noodles, then a serious crown of 200g domestic chicken thigh grilled and glazed in Kanna’s signature sauce. The aroma is gently smoky, the broth is round and restorative, and the noodles have that spring that makes you keep twirling.

Simple, no-fuss seating keeps the focus on the bowl. It is a locals’ favorite that out-of-towners quickly add to their musts.

Mimiok blends separate chicken, beef, and mushroom stocks for a shabu broth that tastes layered, not loud. The finish is your call—silky porridge or slurpable noodles—and the addition of bang-a leaves, Korea’s aromatic herb, gives the steam a gentle herbaceous lift. It is the kind of bowl that suits both careful diners and ravenous office crews.

The room is neat and inviting, and their house makgeolli is a surprise standout for lunch dates or early dinners.

Best known for a pleasantly spicy squid bulgogi built on all-natural ingredients, this Yeoksam staple also does a comforting army stew that brings cozy broth to the table. Expect heat that is flavorful rather than harsh, which means the last spoonful is as enjoyable as the first.

Two floors and a casual vibe make it group-friendly. It is a locals-first spot that visitors quickly understand.
