The water milmyeon arrives in an icy broth said to be simmered from Hanwoo cow bones, the bibim milmyeon comes already tossed with cucumber strips, pickled radish and sauce, and alternating hot steamed dumplings with the cold noodles was the best part of the meal. Park at Daegyeong or Paldo parking lot and the counter hands out a 1-hour free parking voucher, so driving into the middle of Samsan is easy. ## Good to know - **Menu**: Water milmyeon, bibim milmyeon and dumplings — three items only - **Water milmyeon broth**: Said to be simmered from Hanwoo cow bones with no additives - **Served on arrival**: Warm broth brought to the table once you sit down - **Parking**: No dedicated lot; use Daegyeong or Paldo parking lot and get a 1-hour free parking voucher at the counter - **Seating**: Roomy interior with generous space between tables, fine for solo diners and families alike *as written by the visitor on Sep 15, 2026* On a muggy, sweltering day when everything feels sluggish, milmyeon (cold wheat noodles) is exactly the food to perk up your appetite, right? I went to Samsam Milmyeon Main Branch, a Dal-dong, Ulsan spot known for its milmyeon! When something too heavy feels like a burden, but you also don't want to just settle for a so-so meal, nothing beats milmyeon~ This place only has three menu items — water milmyeon, bibim milmyeon, and dumplings — which somehow makes it feel even more like a specialist. These days there are so many places serving all sorts of dishes, but a place like this is a real find. > Samsam Milmyeon Main Branch, Ulsan ![Interior of Samsam Milmyeon Main Branch in Ulsan](https://img.superchart.com/images/samsam-milmyeon-dalidong-dumplings/samsam-milmyeon-dalidong-dumplings-01-1tbnv-900.webp) ## Samsam Milmyeon dumplings: a main dish, not a side At Samsam Milmyeon Main Branch, the dumplings are one of the three items on the menu right alongside the water and bibim milmyeon. At most milmyeon places dumplings tend to get treated as a side dish, but since there are only three items total, they feel like a main here too. I love pairing milmyeon with dumplings, so I ordered them together. The dumpling skin isn't thick but has a nice chewy texture, and the meat filling was clean and light. Dumplings steamed just right in a steamer are honestly on a completely different level from the frozen dumplings you microwave at home ~~ ![Samsam Milmyeon dumplings fresh out of the steamer](https://img.superchart.com/images/samsam-milmyeon-dalidong-dumplings/samsam-milmyeon-dalidong-dumplings-02-h70o8-900.webp) ![Meat dumplings with a chewy dumpling skin](https://img.superchart.com/images/samsam-milmyeon-dalidong-dumplings/samsam-milmyeon-dalidong-dumplings-03-13tug-900.webp) ![Steamed dumplings dipped in sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/samsam-milmyeon-dalidong-dumplings/samsam-milmyeon-dalidong-dumplings-04-1i5kg-900.webp) They're good plain, but dipping them lightly in the salty sauce pairs really well with their clean flavor. Alternating a bite of cold, tangy milmyeon with a warm dumpling was truly a perfect combo~! Beyond sweet-and-salty, it's cold-and-hot, haha, the cold-warm-cold-warm technique +_+ ![Samsam Milmyeon water milmyeon with ice shards floating on top](https://img.superchart.com/images/samsam-milmyeon-dalidong-dumplings/samsam-milmyeon-dalidong-dumplings-05-4jv0o-1200.webp) ## What does the water milmyeon broth taste like? Finally, the water milmyeon arrives. With ice shards floating on top, Samsam Milmyeon's water milmyeon looks refreshing just to see, and since the broth is made only from Korean native cattle bones with no additives, it had both a clean taste and a deep flavor at once. Confirmed: this is a Dal-dong, Ulsan spot that really knows its milmyeon! ![Water milmyeon broth made from Korean native cattle bones](https://img.superchart.com/images/samsam-milmyeon-dalidong-dumplings/samsam-milmyeon-dalidong-dumplings-06-1900s-900.webp) ![Close-up of water milmyeon toppings and icy broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/samsam-milmyeon-dalidong-dumplings/samsam-milmyeon-dalidong-dumplings-07-171o8-900.webp) ![A refreshing bowl of water milmyeon](https://img.superchart.com/images/samsam-milmyeon-dalidong-dumplings/samsam-milmyeon-dalidong-dumplings-08-y8za4-900.webp) It wasn't overly seasoned but had a deep savory quality that made me want to keep drinking the broth. ![Scooping up the water milmyeon broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/samsam-milmyeon-dalidong-dumplings/samsam-milmyeon-dalidong-dumplings-09-h6n82-900.webp) ![Water milmyeon noodles loosened up](https://img.superchart.com/images/samsam-milmyeon-dalidong-dumplings/samsam-milmyeon-dalidong-dumplings-10-1rbbf-900.webp) ![Chewy milmyeon noodles lifted up with chopsticks](https://img.superchart.com/images/samsam-milmyeon-dalidong-dumplings/samsam-milmyeon-dalidong-dumplings-11-ejkkp-900.webp) After thoroughly loosening up the noodles, I took a big bite of the springy, chewy noodles — the distinctive chewy texture of milmyeon was still there, while the cool broth had soaked in thoroughly, so a burst of refreshment filled my whole mouth. ![Water milmyeon and dumplings set together on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/samsam-milmyeon-dalidong-dumplings/samsam-milmyeon-dalidong-dumplings-12-3uqb4-900.webp) ## Bibim milmyeon arrives already tossed in sauce Samsam Milmyeon's bibim milmyeon has plenty of cucumber strips and tangy pickled radish piled on top, so it made my mouth water just from the look of it. I tried it right after the water milmyeon. ![Bibim milmyeon topped with cucumber strips and pickled radish](https://img.superchart.com/images/samsam-milmyeon-dalidong-dumplings/samsam-milmyeon-dalidong-dumplings-13-1llwf-900.webp) ![Bibim milmyeon served already mixed with sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/samsam-milmyeon-dalidong-dumplings/samsam-milmyeon-dalidong-dumplings-14-haati-900.webp) ![Lifting up a bite of bibim milmyeon noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/samsam-milmyeon-dalidong-dumplings/samsam-milmyeon-dalidong-dumplings-15-otmuh-900.webp) The sauce comes already mixed in evenly from the start, so there was no need to struggle mixing it myself — I dug right in. It wasn't excessively spicy, just the right amount of sweet-and-spicy with a savory kick that really woke up my appetite, and eating it alongside the chewy dumplings mellowed out the spiciness perfectly — a match made in heaven! ![A spread of bibim milmyeon served with dumplings](https://img.superchart.com/images/samsam-milmyeon-dalidong-dumplings/samsam-milmyeon-dalidong-dumplings-16-7ytba-900.webp) ## Warm broth and the mood inside Samsam Milmyeon At Samsam Milmyeon Main Branch, they bring you warm broth as soon as you sit down. Even when it's hot outside, warm broth is a love language. A Dal-dong, Ulsan spot that's good at milmyeon starts strong with the broth. ![Warm broth served upon being seated](https://img.superchart.com/images/samsam-milmyeon-dalidong-dumplings/samsam-milmyeon-dalidong-dumplings-17-qx3hr-900.webp) The interior was much more spacious than I expected. The tables are also spaced generously, so it seems like a comfortable spot for both solo diners and families. ![Interior of Samsam Milmyeon Main Branch with generously spaced tables](https://img.superchart.com/images/samsam-milmyeon-dalidong-dumplings/samsam-milmyeon-dalidong-dumplings-18-10bio-900.webp) ## Where to park at Samsam Milmyeon Main Branch in Dal-dong Samsam Milmyeon Main Branch doesn't have its own dedicated parking lot, but if you park at the nearby Daegyeong or Paldo parking lots, they'll give you a 1-hour free parking voucher at the counter after your meal.
