Editor’s overview
Sohojung serves Andong guksi, a northern Gyeongsang style of hand-rolled wheat noodle cut very thin and served in a clear beef broth. The Gangnam branch sits on the second floor of a building opposite Samsung Town by Gangnam Station and turns tables quickly at lunch. From spring to autumn the kitchen also grinds its own soybeans for kongguksu.

Guksi is the standard order. In summer the chilled kongguksu is the other thing regulars come for, and a small plate of buckwheat jelly suits a group.
Guksi ₩16,000; gukbap ₩16,000; kongguksu ₩15,000 (April to October); Sohojung set ₩31,000

Love the beef noodles. The octopus and fish pancake sides are also great!

I had their noodle menu - 안동국시.
It has been one of my favorites for more than 10 years. But I have to say the menu is too salty. And it is a little bit pricy for a bowl of noodle.
Jaewon Lee★★★★★4 years ago
I usually don't like noodles, but the noodle bowl was excellent with the broth especially with the boiled beef. Highly recommended!
