Myeongdong Kyoja Itaewon — Restaurant in Seoul

Wanted to dine at the myeongdong outlet but was nearer to this outlet hence decided to eat here.

We basically ordered everything in the menu. There are only 4 dishes and kimchi was freeflow. You will be directed to order on the digital interface and if you are unable to pay with card, you can just pay the staff directly.

Being 2 pax who are starving at 2pm due to late lunch, we were able to almost finish everything that was ordered.

The clear soup was delicious, hot and felt nourishing while the other 2 noodle variants were cold types. They felt more like a salad but were both delicious as it was like a cold treat in the summer weather of August. Dumpling came in a tray of 10 and did not have any porky taste. The skin was not very thick and was seasoned very well.

This restaurant has a long history and you will be able to see that they have a Michelin bib gourmand for every single year possible. Definitely worth a visit! Don't...

The cold noodles were great as was the cabbage kimchi. The kimchi is slightly spicier than others we’ve had in the city. I’m not sure I like the other noodle dish as much as these 2 dishes. Also had the dumplings. To be fair, I come from a city with plenty of awesome dumpling restaurants so the dumplings tasted quite average. Generally the food is a good intro to Korean noodles and it is to pricey. You have to queue to get into the restaurant - doesn’t take too long. Also take note that both Google and NAVER maps seem to lead you to the back door!!! the front of the restaurant is along the touristy...

Absolutely phenomenal food. I tried the Mandu-soup and holy moly it was great! Kimchi very spicy and garlicky but I saw other people mixing in their soups etc and did the same and it added extra flavour to the main dish!! So yum! It’s a two floor restaurant so don’t be afraid to check out upstairs. You order first on the vending machines when you arrive and give your docket to the waiters and then they will seat you. Ps the cutlery is in a drawer...
