Bongpiyang Yongsan — Restaurant in Seoul

It is one of the most popular places for traditional Pyongyang cold noodles. However, its quality didn't match its reputation. The buckwheat ratio in the noodles was relatively low compared to other pricy places, and the noodles were quite chewy. (I heard another guest had to ask for scissors to cut it.) The soup was thoroughly meaty and salty without a strong scent of kimchi, which was just fine.

One mistake that I made was ordering dumplings. Not that they were not tasty, instead they were enjoyable.

Pork BBQ specialty restaurant with good soups and noodles.

Came here on a whim while looking for a decent bbq place in the neighborhood. The atmosphere was slightly more upscale than typical bbq places in Seoul, and we liked that the meats came cooked on a sizzling plate. We got the pork galbi with some soups and noodles, but the galbi sauce on the pork was a bit too sweet for my taste. On the other hand, the spicy beef tripe soup and the cold noodles were quite good.

Highly recommend.

Looking forward to coming back during summer to try their...
