Chewy buckwheat noodles in a light, chilled beef broth topped with boiled pork and a raw egg.
Tip: Arrive at 11:30am or after 1:30pm to avoid the peak lunch rush. At peak times (12-1:30pm), expect a 15-20 minute wait even though service moves quickly.

Bibimnaengmyeon (Spicy Mixed Buckwheat Noodles)
Pildong Myeon OkJung-gu·$$
KRW10000.00
Buckwheat noodles mixed with a spicy red chili sauce instead of broth.
Tip: If you prefer spicy food, bibimnaengmyeon is the way to go. The chili sauce coats the noodles evenly, and you can control heat by diluting with the broth.
