(24 reviews)In summer the line can wrap around the building — this neighborhood favorite fills bowls quickly, though, so waits move faster than you’d expect. The house specialty is momil guksu: a generous bowl of chilled buckwheat noodle soup served with a light, iced broth, usually ordered together with soft, freshly steamed dumplings. Staff recommend adding a spoonful each of grated radish and green onion to the broth, then a little mustard and vinegar to taste. The chilled broth is refreshing and not overly salty; many diners lift the bowl and drink the remainder straight. Order the tong-mandu for a plate of ten bite-sized dumplings — thin, tender skins and hot, juicy filling that almost melt on the tongue.
Local Tips
- •Best order: Momil Guksu with a plate of Tong Mandu — the chilled broth and tender dumplings are a perfect match
- •Customize the broth with a spoonful each of grated radish and green onion; add mustard and vinegar to taste
- •Expect a line in warm months but a fast turnover; reservations are accepted, and there is no on-site parking
