OUR STORY

We started as a restaurant

In 1997, we opened Bongchang-i Seafood Kalguksu in Daegu. As the chain grew, we could not find a supplier that made noodles the way our first restaurant did. In 2001, we built a factory and began making them ourselves.

We still run Hyeongnim Dongtae (three locations in Daegu) and Hyeongnim Jjukkumi (Pangyo). Every new product goes on our own menus before it is offered to customers.
