Meal budget per person (without drinks) Category 1 (under 60000 KRW, 50 USD) The restaurant specializes cold noodles through 3 generation according to the North Korean (Pyeongyang) style and has been listed onto Michelin Guide since 2020 upto 2023. Honestly, it is hard to specify that it is particularly delicious, but it is a restaurant with a strange charm that makes me to visit again for its light and clean taste. - Bulgogi (불고기, 37K KRW) is delectable. The meats are well seasoned and tender. It is recommended to mix the meat in broth with rice. Noodles can also be added on the broth. Grilling service is provided. - Handmade Wonton (접시만두, 14K) is filled with meat tofu and vegetable. Compared to the same dish in Gangnam, this one is a little blander, so older people will like it. - Pyongyang Naengmyeon (평양냉면, 14K) is cold noodles and identified by its broth, so you have to taste it first. The noodles are made of 100% buckwheat, so it is not tough. Vinegar is recommended to be added onto noodles (not to the broth, as the broth should be tasted as it is) Pyongyang Naengmyeon of this restaurant is characterized by a clear broth that is salty and savory. There is a long queue at the peak lunch and dinner time. Valet parking is available.

I was invited to the restaurant with a group of old Korean people and I can see that they really enjoyed the meal. I mean this humble restaurant seems to be the favorite of local people. - Dumplings were served firstly, they were big and tasty but not too fatty because pork was mixed with a kind of vegetable like onion and tofu, and spring onion. Don't take 2 or 3 otherwise you'll get full. Save stomach for the next. - Boiled pork was juicy. Beef was soft and moist but seasoning of beef was a bit sweet for me. - Cold noodle was interesting. I will come back to try it because I was so full the other day 😂 - Kimchi was very good as well. - Save the best for the last. Yes the ice cream was fantastic. A sparkling note to end the meal with fresh and joy.

Wasn’t the biggest fan of this style of naengmyeon so do take this review with a pinch of salt! Their naengmyeon is a lot more savoury than the one you would be used to in South Korea. It tastes a bit like wanton/ dumpling soup (?), with spring onions in them. Very very different from the South’s radish based soup. The noodles are also different from the buckwheat noodles we were used to and had a hint of yellow noodle (???)/ alkaline taste. I found that their flavours mildly resembled Chinese food. You may like this if u prefer a more savoury broth!! Their dumplings were PACKED. They were brimming with meat & tasted SO good!!! They were juicy and the meat was fresh and well seasoned& sweet! Do give this a try. It goes well with their kimchi. The dumpling’s skin was not too thick as well, texture was soft and slightly chewy. Did not fall apart easily. Saw a lot of locals getting the steamboat— you may want to try that if you come in a group. Lots of locals here!! In general, we found the food here on the pricier side. My local friend felt it was too expensive for a bowl of naengmyeon… It cost us 15,000 KRW for the noodles and another 15,000 KRW for the dumplings.

장충동 [평양면옥] ‘Classic’한 1세대 평양냉면 전문점 ⠀ 장충동 계보의 뿌리가 되는 집이다. 평양 [대동면옥]으로 시작하여 1985년 현재 위치에 자리를 잡아 현재 3대째 운영 중에 있다. 평양냉면 애호가들이 3대,4대,5대 냉면을 꼽을 때 항상 손가락안에 들어가는 집 중 하나이며, 또한 평안도 실향민이 뽑은 최고의 냉면집으로 선정되기도 하였다. ⠀ 장충동 [평양면옥]은 의정부 [평양면옥]은 각각 장충동 계보와 의정부 계보의 뿌리가 되는 집들이다. 상호를 같이 하지만 추구하는 방향에는 차이가 분명히 있다. 소위 장충동파는 맑고 투명한 느낌의 육수를 내고 오이절임과 무절임이 고명으로 올라가는 반면 의정부파는 가볍고 깔끔한 느낌에 파와 고춧가루 고명이 올라가는 것이 특징이다. ⠀ 의정부파의 계보를 잇는 평양냉면집으로는 [필동면옥], [을지면옥], [본가평양면옥]이 있고 직계 가족들이 직접 운영한다. 장충동파는 같은 상호명으로 논현, 도곡 그리고 강남신세계백화점에 매장을 두고 또한 가족들이 운영을 한다. 또 하나로 우래옥계보와 그를 잇는 [봉피양]이 있고, 독자적인 노선으로 운영하는 식당은 [을밀대], [정인면옥], [능라도] 정도가 있다고 보면 된다. ⠀ 이 날은 ‘평양냉면(메뉴에는 냉면이라고 기재)’과 ‘비빔냉면’ 그리고 ‘편육반’, ‘제육반’을 주문했다. 편육은 국내산 육우를 삶은 것을 말하고 제육은 국내산 돼지를 삶은 것이다. 여기서 알 수 있는 점은 평양면옥은 소와 돼지 육수를 혼합하여 낸다는 점이다. 물론 의정부도 그렇다고 한다. 반 메뉴가 있어서 하나씩 먹어볼 수 있어서 좋았다. 편육은 사태부분만 삶아져 나온다. 겉면이 조금 마른 듯 보이지만 막상 먹으면 부드럽고 오히려 응축된 소고기향이 강하게 느껴져서 좋다. 제육은 삶아진 정도가 아주 적당해서 탱글탱글한 식감이 좋고 잡내 하나없이 지방의 고소한 향만 남는다. 새우젓과 무절임과 같이 먹으면 감칠맛이 끝이 없는데 정말 맛있다. ⠀ 평양냉면은 담음새가 투박하다. 꾸밈없는 모습이 오히려 매력적으로 다가온다. 육수가 맑고 투명하다. 생각보다 염도는 조금 강하다. 육향이 은은한데 의외로 치고 올라오는 염도가 약하지 않다. 면은 곱게 제분된 메밀을 사용해서인지, 보기에는 매끄럽지만 툭툭 끊어지는 식감이 좋고 메밀향이 분명하게 느껴진다. 큰 특징은 없지만 흠 잡을데가 없는 온전한 한 그릇이다. 클래식하다고 느껴진다. ⠀ ‘비빔냉면’ 또한 맛있게 먹었다. 평양냉면집에서 비빔을 시키는 것은 잘못된 선택인 것 처럼 보이지만 잘 숙성된 양념장과 메밀면의 향과 식감은 조화가 좋다. 우래옥의 비빔처럼 톡쏘고 자극적이지는 않았지만 충분히 감칠맛이 좋다. 부담없이 끝까지 먹을 수 있는 맛이다. ⠀ 평양냉면을 먹을 때 중요한 부분 중 하나가 바로 ‘온도감’인데 냉면은 적당하게 시원했고 수육은 적당히 미지근했다. 노포임에도 불구하고 종업원분들의 서비스도 좋았다. 발렛이 되는 점 또한 장점 중 하나이다. 위에서도 언급하였듯이 상호를 같이 하는 매장들이 강남 주변으로 세 곳이 있지만 모두 평가가 상이하다. 왠만하면 본점을 방문하는 것을 적극 추천한다.

Lots of locals and tourists Service was efficient and courteous The cold noodles was very good. The clear soup has a hint of fragrant beef taste, and you should add the different condiments to your taste eg a touch of mustard and a general amount vinegar The dumplings are very big and tasty. The fillings seemed like lean pork with possibly beancurd mixed in. They give a very homey, comfort-food feeling. Perfect on a cold night or during your hangover

I’m a huge fan of this dish and my wife, a Korean national born and raised here is a fan of the dish, as well. Both of us felt that the food was just average, both broth and noodle, but very overpriced. The one good dish was the dumplings (mandu) which were somewhat bland but very delicate and tasty. Service was typical for large establishments such as this but certainly nothing to complain about.
