Myeongdong Kyoja
명동교자
Myeongdong's signature restaurant. The famous Myeongdong Kyoja, known for its excellent kalguksu (hand-cut noodle soup).
Notes
- This is a place where the kalguksu is superb. While eating it, I remember thinking it tasted similar to jjajangmyeon. I figure that's because caramelized, sautéed onions give off a similar flavor here too. It's less intense than you'd expect, and delicious!
- If you ever visit Myeongdong in Seoul, I think this is a must-visit. It's also been a famous fixture in Myeongdong for a long time, and trying it at least once will be a great experience!
