Editor’s overview
A kalguksu shop on the main Yeonnam-dong road that makes several broths from the same hand-cut noodle: clam, chicken, and a beef and fernbrake version. The room is clean and modern rather than old-fashioned, and eating alone is normal. Last orders are at 20:30.
Menu and ordering
The clam kalguksu is the plainest and the best introduction. A potato pancake between two is the usual addition.

After battling through negative temperatures, finding Yeongnam Noodles felt like a miracle. The perfectly seasoned, piping hot soup with noodles that had a pleasant chew healed me. The staff was also welcoming despite me being alone.
A must try if you are in the area!
