A legendary naengmyeon (cold noodle) specialist that serious Seoul food lovers consider among the city's finest, with a broth that is clean, deeply flavored, and properly icy. Both mul naengmyeon (broth-based) and bibim naengmyeon (spicy mixed) are excellent. The restaurant is no-frills and the menu is short, which is always a good sign. Expect lines at peak lunch hours, particularly in summer when cold noodles are at their most popular.
