Meal budget per person (without drinks)
Category 1 (under 60000 KRW, 50 USD)
The restaurant has been listed onto Michelin Guide for six consecutive years from 2018 to next year, and also onto Blue Ribbon Survey since 2017.
Chewy noodles and broth with full of umami - I dare say that it is the best cold buckwheat noodle in Korea which I can feel the chef's sincerity.
The most important part making this Pyongyang Naengmyeon is known as preparing for the broth, so you have to taste it first. The noodles are made of buckwheat, so it is not tough. Vinegar is recommended to be added onto noodles (not to the broth, as the broth should be tasted as it is)
I recommend a special menu (39K per person) where all dishes can be enjoyed, because they are all very different style, very tasty.
- Buckwheat Pancake
- Pyongyang Dumpling Hot Pot
- Boiled Beef Slice with raw Octopus
- Stone Pot Buckwheat
- Pyongyang Buckwheat:
- Pyongyang Fried Dumpling: This handmade dumpling is one of a kind!
* If above 4 persons, Korean Beef Barbecue (Bulgogi) is provided free of charge. It is very delectable.
It does not accept reservation, but you can get a waiting list in the order you come.
It is excellent cooking, worth a detour!
