100-Year Store naengmyeon restaurant in Pyeongtaek: Seoul Myeonok
Seoul Myeonok is a pyongyang naengmyeon (cold buckwheat noodle) restaurant near Pyeongtaek Station, run by the same family for 60 years across three generations and certified as a "100-Year Store." Three diners arrived at a quiet hour between lunch and dinner and shared pyongyang naengmyeon, bibim naengmyeon (spicy mixed cold noodles), galbitang (beef short rib soup) and jeyuk (stir-fried pork), then finished by stirring rice into the leftover naengmyeon broth. The mild broth and buckwheat noodles that snap cleanly make Seoul Myeonok an easy first stop for pyongyang naengmyeon beginners.
