Eulji Canh Canh Euljiro: What to Order on Your First Visit (Menu, Prices, Hours)

If you look for Vietnamese noodles in Euljiro, Seoul, the name Eulji Canh Canh comes up often. Eulji Canh Canh Euljiro is the original branch where the brand began. It appeared on Netflix's Culinary Class Wars Season 2 and has been selected by the Blue Ribbon Survey four years in a row, from 2023 to 2026. With 19 dishes on the menu, choosing can be hard on a first visit, so here is a guide in the order we recommend.

Start with the signature crab noodle soup

The signature dish is Bánh canh cua, crab noodle soup (₩14,000). The spicy broth is simmered for more than 8 hours with pork bones and seafood, and served with chewy handmade noodles. Origin: pork and crab from Korea, shrimp from Vietnam. It is quite different from a clear pho, so it is the bowl to try first.

If you want to taste the dish from Culinary Class Wars Season 2, order the Heukbaek Saigon crab noodle soup (₩22,000). It adds soft-shell crab to the crab noodle soup and was praised by Chef Anh Sung-jae on the show.
