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.

Very mid. Did not stand out at all. My mom loves pyeongyang style 냉면 and this was just bleh. The 비빔 냉면 was slightly more edible. I didn’t starve because we ordered mandu…but maybe I should have…Might as well have been eating in North Korea. Woof. Hard pass. Oh but cleaner bathroo
