Insadong Sujebi

In Singapore/Malaysia, we know this affectionately as MEE HOON KUAY. Basically dough that is torn apart by hand and cooked which resulted in the odd shape of noodle/flour. I am so happy to have found this place as we were missing home. This place looks like it has been publicized a lot as u can see various signatures on the wall and there are even logos of broadcasting by stations which had interviewed them before. We ordered for 2 and it came in a large serving bowl which can then be distributed. Their kimchi was cold and came in a personal pot which feels very sanitary. The pancake was thin and crispy. I came around 6pm and by 7pm the whole place was filled out. It was so delicious and it was interesting to find out that Sujebi in Korea is the sister of mee hoon kuay of SEA.

✨ Lunch at Insadong Sujebi/ Insadong Hangari Handpulled Dough Soup since 1993! 🍲 I went for the General Sujebi and Seafood Pancake, and it did not disappoint! The sujebi soup was so refreshing, with oysters giving it an extra layer of flavour. 🦪 The seafood pancake was just the right amount of crispy, packed with shrimp 🦐 and squid 🦑—a perfect bite every time. Also, the kimchi was so fresh, it really added a nice balance to the meal. Highly recommend this spot if you're ever in Seoul! 🏙️ #InsaDongSujebi #KoreanFoodLover #SujebiAndPancake #SeoulEats #FoodieFinds #Since1993

Everything is nice! That’s our comment and compliment for this shop that we found by accident. Perilla leave sujebi , spicy sujebi and the seafood pancake is must order!

The spicy sujebi slaps hard with the briney umami of the oysters it's brewed with. Haemul pajeon is thin and crispy. Dining quarters are cramped though. We came early for dinner and faced a queue when we left.

BLUF: A, just a great experience. An old saying goes, “Never judge a book by its cover.” The same is true with restaurants: “Never judge a restaurant by its location and entrance.” Insadong Sujebi is an excellent traditional Korean Specialty restaurant. Its speciality is Sujebi. Sujebi is a traditional Korean noodle soup where the noodles are thin, hand-torn pieces of dough added to a bubbling pot of broth. Buried down an out-of-the-way ally, Insadong Sujebi is a quant cozy Sujebi eatery. It looks a little run-down, but don’t let that fool you. The place is clean, and the staff is warm, friendly, and welcoming. However, be careful; they have their own recipe for classical Korean Kimchi, which I absolutely love. In fact, I got full eating just the kimchi and side dishes. If you are a Korean Foody, this is a must-stop on your culinary trip through Korea

This is a very special place to me. It was the first restaurant I visited after moving to Korea, which then turned into a tradition of being my first meal after flying back on every subsequent trip. They serve the BEST seafood pancake (haemulpajeon/해물파전) I have ever had, and every Korean friend of mine who I have brought here agrees. I recommend getting that with a Sujebi/수제비 (their Perilla Sujebi/들깨수제비 is lovely too) and of course the homemade Makkeolli/막걸리. Wonderful staff as well, such professional and kind people. After 7 years, this remains my favorite restaurant in Korea. Can’t wait for my next visit! 💛

Delicious hand-pulled noodles place hidden in the alley of Insadong. It was a rainy day in late September with about 30 mins wait, and it was worth it. We ordered a original and spicy (얼큰) noodles and a seafood pancake. The noodles are so unique and I love the it’s texture. Both original and spicy are awesome. The seafood pancake is alright, a bit too heavy and I wish they have more seafood toppings. They have a pretty small menu so I would still recommend to try their pancake with the noodles. Overall I was not disappointed and highly recommend this place, this is a very affordable and filling meal.

The seafood pancakes were simply heavenly, and the Perillasamen Sujebi was also delicious. Despite it being Sunday lunchtime, the wait was only 5-10 minutes, making the experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone craving authentic Korean cuisine in a delightful setting!"
