Seobuk Myeonok

"A renowned spot for Pyongyang cold noodles with a long-standing tradition, 'Seobuk Myeonok'" Located on Jayang-ro in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul, 'Seobuk Myeonok' has been serving the essence of Pyongyang cold noodles since its opening in 1968. Situated near the Children’s Grand Park, it is beloved not only by local residents but also by enthusiasts of Pyongyang cold noodles. The restaurant's signature dish, mulnaengmyeon (cold noodles in broth), is offered at a reasonable price of 10,000 won, featuring noodles that exude the rich flavor of buckwheat, accompanied by a refreshing and clean broth. The soup is a delightful blend of brisket broth and vegetable stock, boasting a deep flavor that helps forget the summer heat. In particular, the boiled egg and radish salad garnishing the dish elevate the taste of the cold noodles. The bibimnaengmyeon (spicy cold noodles) here is also a must-try delicacy, with its savory and sweet sauce perfectly complementing the noodles, adding to the enjoyment of the meal. The additional dish of boiled pork is a highlight with its sweet and salty flavor, creating the ultimate harmony when paired with the sweet radish side dish. Seobuk Myeonok always experiences a wait on weekends, but the long-standing tradition and the care put into the food make the wait worthwhile. It is a must-visit spot for those who love Pyongyang cold noodles, where you can enjoy a warm meal in an atmosphere filled with analog charm.
