Haengju Chueotang – Comedian Kim Mi-ryeo’s Go-To Loach Soup at Haengju Fortress

Featured on KBS2 “2TV 생생정보” (Feb 5, 2026) — Corner: Star Restaurant | Recommended by: Comedian Kim Mi-ryeo

Near the historic Haengju Fortress in Goyang city, comedian Kim Mi-ryeo swears by this old-school restaurant’s spicy loach soup (추어매운탕). Unlike typical thick, muddy-tasting chueotang, this version is clear, clean, and vibrantly spicy.

💡 Why This Restaurant is Special: A beloved local institution! Their loach soup defies expectations — clear broth that’s both refreshing and fiery, with handmade sujebi (dough flakes) and noodles in the pot. Order whole loach (통추어, min. 2 portions) or ground loach (간추어, 1 portion OK).
