Gangseo-gu in western Seoul is a rapidly developing residential and commercial district near Gimpo Airport. The area has a growing food scene with a mix of established Korean restaurant clusters and newer commercial developments bringing café chains and international options to the expanding population.
The seasoning is spicy and sweet. The sugure tastes like tripe. It has no gamey smell and is delicious when eaten with octopus. It's a dish worth trying at least once. Be sure to try the bibim guksu with sesame oil.
I recommend the stir-fried sugure and wild octopus. Adding somen noodles makes it even more delicious.
This popular restaurant is located on the first floor of a commercial building in Magok M Valley 9 Complex, off Gonghang-daero in Magok-dong, Gangseo-gu, Seoul. It originally operated in Banghwa 1-dong, Gangseo-gu, for decades and relocated to its current location only a few years ago. The restaurant serves unique dishes, including sugure (Korean squid), seasoned with a spicy sauce and mixed with vegetables like bean sprouts. Since the ingredients are usually cooked, they're delicious even raw. The complimentary cold bean sprout soup and the famous side dish, bibim guksu (Korean spicy noodles), are a delicacy. Since moving to the current location, water and alcohol are self-service, and they've added a variety of side dishes to suit your taste. It's a dish worth trying at least once, and a great drinking snack!
