A basement lunch counter tracing its roots to a 1962 restaurant in Jinju, this Yeouido institution has been feeding the neighborhood's office workers for decades with a single excellent dish. It's an easy, air-conditioned break from Yeouido's finance-district towers and the nearby Han River park.

Kongguksu · chilled soybean noodle soup

A suggested order

The cold kongguksu is the reason people line up — thick, nutty soybean broth over chewy noodles, best eaten with a shake of salt to taste since it's served unsalted.
