“Pyeongyang naengmyeon with a rich meaty aroma is among Seoul's very best”

  • Suyuk (boiled pork slices)Incredible meaty aroma
  • Jeyuk (pork slices)Chewy with great pork flavor

  • Suyuk and jeyuk are also top-notch

Downsides

40-year history, Michelin-listed
Tips
  • When you order naengmyeon, one slice each of suyuk and jeyuk comes with it
