Busanjin-gu · Gaegeum-dong / Cold wheat noodles

Gaegeum Milmyeon

개금밀면

Tucked in a residential corner of Busanjin-gu, this is the neighborhood milmyeon shop locals point to when explaining the dish's roots rather than its tourist-facing versions. The broth is built on chicken stock steeped with medicinal herbs, giving it a deeper edge than the usual beef-broth milmyeon.

Mul-milmyeon · chilled wheat noodles in chicken and herbal broth

A suggested order

Order the mul-milmyeon first to taste the chicken-and-herb broth plain, then add vinegar and mustard; the dumplings make a good side.
