Tongyeong Kalguksu 128 통영칼국수128
Tongyeong · Old Town, Gangguan & Dongpirang · Meal
This small noodle shop serves Tongyeong-style kalguksu, hand-cut noodles in a clear anchovy broth topped with oysters or mussels depending on the season. The broth is gentle rather than spicy, so children and older diners usually find it easy to eat. A bowl is inexpensive and arrives fast, making it a good light lunch between the mural village and the market.
Seasonal shellfish are the highlight, and winter oysters are especially plump. Kimchi is served on the side and is the only part that bites back. Seating is simple and turnover is quick, so even a lunchtime queue tends to move.
Both cash and cards work here.
It is near the Dongpirang lanes, about 10 minutes by taxi from the bus terminal. (Show a driver: 통영칼국수128)
