Gwanghwamun Mijin
03157 1st Floor, Le Meilleur Jongno Town 1, 19 Jongno, Jongno-gu, Seoul
"Gwanghwamun Mijin, a traditional buckwheat noodle shop with a plate of buckwheat and a king-sized pork cutlet" Located in Jongno Gwanghwamun, this long-established buckwheat noodle shop operates on the first and second floors with relatively close table spacing. Please note that there is a two-hour parking support available when parking in the building. Although it is a chain, many visitors have expressed a desire to try the original branch. The signature dishes are cold buckwheat noodles and pork cutlet. The cold buckwheat noodles are generous in portion, with two servings of buckwheat per order, and the buckwheat sauce is served directly from a pot. On the table, you will find radish, green onions, seaweed, wasabi, and powdered seaweed, and in winter, they also sell dumpling soup. The pork cutlet is crispy, and they generously refill the sauce. Many reviews mention that the staff is busy but friendly, and during meal times and on weekends or holidays, the waiting line can be long. With a history of being selected as a Michelin Bib Gourmand, it left an impression as a restaurant worth waiting for. When you visit, I recommend trying both the buckwheat noodles and the pork cutlet.
