(72 reviews)
Once counted among Seoul’s legendary Pyongyang- houses, Eulji Myeonok reopened in Nakwon-dong after a pause for its move and drew crowds right away. What locals rave about is the deeply flavored, clean beef broth that hits on the first sip, paired with fragrant buckwheat aroma and pleasantly chewy noodles. Service and taste are widely reported to have improved since the reopening. The three-story restaurant turns tables quickly, so even with a line you usually won’t wait as long as you expect.

Local Tips

  • Signature clear beef broth with fragrant buckwheat noodles — simple, balanced flavors
  • Reopened in Nakwon-dong with improved service; three floors help keep wait times reasonable
  • Pair your naengmyeon with suyuk or order a 'sari' (extra noodles) if you want more staying power
