Andong Guksi is a traditional Andong-style noodle and local Korean food specialty restaurant located near Apgujeong Station in Sinsa-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul. It offers a variety of Korean dishes, led by its signature Guksi, which features soft noodles kneaded with soybean flour and a deep, rich beef bone broth. As a long-standing establishment, it maintains a loyal customer base and high public recognition.

"Andong Guksi, with its thin noodles and beef bone broth, is famous for being a taste preferred more by the middle-aged than the younger generation. You can choose between Geonjin, Andong, or Korean wheat noodles depending on the noodle texture, and in addition to noodles, side dishes like boiled pork (Suyuk), pancakes (Jeon), and octopus are also delicious. Although the price range is somewhat high, you can experience a luxurious taste that is hard to find elsewhere."
