Jung-gu · Jangchung-dong / Pyongyang-style cold buckwheat noodles

Pyeongyang Myeonok · Jangchung-dong

평양면옥 (장충동)

Run by the same family for three generations near Jangchung-dong's cluster of Pyongyang-style noodle houses, this quiet, unadorned dining room serves a clean, restrained broth that Michelin's Seoul guide has repeatedly singled out. It's an easy, filling stop near Dongguk University and Namsan, on the same strip that gave the neighborhood its noodle reputation.
