(38 reviews)Step inside and you'll often find the owner greeting you while boiling at the entrance. Dough is aged, rolled with a wooden rolling pin, then cut to order with a knife so the noodles are freshly made for each bowl. The signature features a long-simmered seafood stock — made from red snow crab, kelp, flower crab and freshwater shrimp — that brings out a clean, briny umami. The hand-made, knife-cut noodles drink up the broth and slide down smoothly. Start by savoring the clear soup on its own, then add gim-garu (seaweed flakes), scallion seasoning sauce, or napa cabbage kimchi to taste. If your bowl runs low, they offer free broth refills.
