(31 reviews)Run by the same family for three generations, Saembat is a Chuncheon institution known for its high-buckwheat noodles and a house sauce aged more than ten days. The noodles have a milky hue and a pronounced buckwheat character—served with a mild, balanced dressing that lets the grain shine—and pair especially well with the chewy, slow-cooked (boiled pork). Potato and mung-bean pancakes are available to share.
Local Tips
- •House-made, high-buckwheat noodles with a mild, deeply aged dressing—great if you want pure buckwheat flavor
- •Order pyeonyuk (slow-cooked sliced pork) and a gamja-jeon or nokdu-jeon to share for a classic pairing
- •Open daily 10:00–20:00; reservations and on-site parking make it convenient for visitors by car
