After shopping at the Express Bus Terminal, I ended up wanting a slightly late lunch, and when I searched nearby, most places were in their break time. Then I found Memil Jangteo, which doesn't close in between. It was a bit of a trek, but it felt like a stress-free meal, so I headed to Yangjae Citizens' Forest. Memil Jangteo is a makguksu (buckwheat noodle) restaurant famous for its waits around Seonbawi Station in Gwacheon, and I was glad to see new branches popping up one by one. ![Exterior of Seonbawi Memil Jangteo Yangjae Branch near Yangjae Citizens' Forest](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-buckwheat-noodles-late-lunch/yangjae-buckwheat-noodles-late-lunch-01-16nf3-900.webp) - Location: 15-11 Gangnam-daero 18-gil, Seocho-gu, Seoul - Hours: daily 9:00–21:00 - Parking available in front of the restaurant ## A late lunch, so we walked straight in with no wait Seonbawi Memil Jangteo Yangjae Branch usually has a wait, but maybe thanks to the awkward hour, I got in right away with no waiting. Lucky day! haha ![Entrance and interior of Seonbawi Memil Jangteo Yangjae Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-buckwheat-noodles-late-lunch/yangjae-buckwheat-noodles-late-lunch-02-11blg-687.webp) ![Memil Jangteo dining room with no wait](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-buckwheat-noodles-late-lunch/yangjae-buckwheat-noodles-late-lunch-03-uht6q-900.webp) The interior was clean and no-frills. It's a space that lets you focus on the food, so I sat down comfortably and ordered. ![Clean seating inside Memil Jangteo Yangjae Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-buckwheat-noodles-late-lunch/yangjae-buckwheat-noodles-late-lunch-04-27cfk-900.webp) ![Interior and tables at Memil Jangteo Yangjae Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-buckwheat-noodles-late-lunch/yangjae-buckwheat-noodles-late-lunch-05-i7cxc-900.webp) ![Menu at Memil Jangteo Yangjae Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-buckwheat-noodles-late-lunch/yangjae-buckwheat-noodles-late-lunch-06-1heq7-900.webp) ## What I ordered at Memil Jangteo and the side dishes - Perilla oil makguksu (100% buckwheat) - Pollack hoe suyuk (spicy raw pollack + bossam radish strips + 170g boiled pork) ![Ordered perilla oil makguksu and pollack hoe suyuk](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-buckwheat-noodles-late-lunch/yangjae-buckwheat-noodles-late-lunch-07-psoxy-900.webp) The side dishes were dongchimi (radish water kimchi) broth and white kimchi. ![Dongchimi broth and white kimchi served as side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-buckwheat-noodles-late-lunch/yangjae-buckwheat-noodles-late-lunch-08-ouqrh-900.webp) ![Memil Jangteo side dishes: white kimchi and dongchimi](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-buckwheat-noodles-late-lunch/yangjae-buckwheat-noodles-late-lunch-09-yf67e-800.webp) The pollack hoe suyuk came out first, not long after ordering. The noodles are 100% buckwheat, so they start the dough only once you order, which takes a little time. ## What does the pollack hoe suyuk taste like? Memil Jangteo's pollack hoe suyuk is a samhap-style (three-way) combo of boiled pork, seasoned raw pollack and bossam radish strips, with no other vegetables or sauces served separately. Since it arrived before the makguksu, I started with it. ![Pollack hoe suyuk served first](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-buckwheat-noodles-late-lunch/yangjae-buckwheat-noodles-late-lunch-10-1juc4-900.webp) The red-seasoned pollack and radish strips looked appetizing just sitting there. ![Red-seasoned pollack hoe and bossam radish strips](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-buckwheat-noodles-late-lunch/yangjae-buckwheat-noodles-late-lunch-11-1172h-900.webp) Above all, the suyuk was better than I expected. The fat-to-lean ratio was just right, and it was boiled moist, not dry. ![Moist boiled pork suyuk](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-buckwheat-noodles-late-lunch/yangjae-buckwheat-noodles-late-lunch-12-1rh46-900.webp) Eaten with the pollack, the savory depth came through even more. ![Eating suyuk with pollack hoe](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-buckwheat-noodles-late-lunch/yangjae-buckwheat-noodles-late-lunch-13-1z5qh-900.webp) ## Texture and taste of the 100% buckwheat perilla oil makguksu The perilla oil makguksu had that snappy, break-apart texture that pure buckwheat noodles are known for. It arrived a little after the pollack suyuk. ![A bowl of 100% buckwheat perilla oil makguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-buckwheat-noodles-late-lunch/yangjae-buckwheat-noodles-late-lunch-14-15wxh-900.webp) I personally love this texture, so I enjoyed it a lot. ![Perilla oil makguksu with snappy pure buckwheat noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-buckwheat-noodles-late-lunch/yangjae-buckwheat-noodles-late-lunch-15-1o9en-900.webp) They say they use perilla oil they press themselves, and the aroma wasn't overpowering, just a gentle nuttiness. ![Perilla oil makguksu made with house-pressed perilla oil](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-buckwheat-noodles-late-lunch/yangjae-buckwheat-noodles-late-lunch-16-190v9-1200.webp) It isn't harsh, so I kept reaching for more. It's a mild flavor that my own family and my in-laws would all like. I don't think opinions would split much. ![Eating the mild perilla oil makguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-buckwheat-noodles-late-lunch/yangjae-buckwheat-noodles-late-lunch-17-1fsw6-900.webp) ## How to pour in the dongchimi broth The menu at Memil Jangteo says that after finishing the perilla oil makguksu noodles, you should pour about half a bowl of dongchimi broth over and stir it. ![Menu note on pouring in dongchimi broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-buckwheat-noodles-late-lunch/yangjae-buckwheat-noodles-late-lunch-18-11y52-899.webp) When I first drank the dongchimi broth on its own, it felt blander than I expected, but with the makguksu it was completely different. The tangy dongchimi blended well with the nuttiness of the perilla oil, and the noodles finished off feeling cleaner. ![Perilla oil makguksu with dongchimi broth poured in](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-buckwheat-noodles-late-lunch/yangjae-buckwheat-noodles-late-lunch-19-1qewv-900.webp) ![Makguksu noodles mixed with dongchimi broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-buckwheat-noodles-late-lunch/yangjae-buckwheat-noodles-late-lunch-20-1cwm0-900.webp) ## Topping the makguksu with pollack hoe If you put the pollack from the pollack hoe suyuk on top of the perilla oil makguksu, it naturally becomes pollack hoe makguksu. I usually like pollack hoe naengmyeon (cold noodles), so I tried the pollack on the makguksu, and the combination was really good. ![Perilla oil makguksu topped with pollack hoe](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-buckwheat-noodles-late-lunch/yangjae-buckwheat-noodles-late-lunch-21-7dqts-900.webp) The menu had perilla oil makguksu, pollack hoe makguksu and dongchimi makguksu. Order the perilla oil makguksu with the pollack hoe suyuk and you get all three styles: perilla oil, pollack hoe and dongchimi. I recommend that combo. ![Table with perilla oil makguksu and pollack hoe suyuk](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-buckwheat-noodles-late-lunch/yangjae-buckwheat-noodles-late-lunch-22-48wwa-900.webp) After the meal, a cup of the warm buckwheat tea set out at the entrance was a perfect palate cleanser. ![Warm buckwheat tea at the entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-buckwheat-noodles-late-lunch/yangjae-buckwheat-noodles-late-lunch-23-95fjg-900.webp) ## A late lunch near Yangjae Citizens' Forest: my verdict on Seonbawi Memil Jangteo I only ended up at Seonbawi Memil Jangteo Yangjae Branch because of break times elsewhere, but the meal was more satisfying than I expected. If you're looking for a late lunch near Yangjae Citizens' Forest, it's worth a stop. I especially liked the texture of the pure buckwheat noodles and the gentle nuttiness of the perilla oil, and eating it with the pollack hoe suyuk was satisfying too. ![Finished meal at Seonbawi Memil Jangteo Yangjae Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/yangjae-buckwheat-noodles-late-lunch/yangjae-buckwheat-noodles-late-lunch-24-2ingu-900.webp) I liked that you can visit without pressure even for a late lunch, and if more branches open, I think I'll be dropping by often. ## Where it is - Seonbawi Memil Jangteo Yangjae Branch (선바위메밀장터) - 15-11 Gangnam-daero 18-gil, Seocho-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 서초구 강남대로18길 15-11 메밀장터 양재점 - 37.4724706, 127.0395951 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%84%A0%EB%B0%94%EC%9C%84%EB%A9%94%EB%B0%80%EC%9E%A5%ED%84%B0/@37.4724706,127.0395951,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@evening-menu-margin/yangjae-buckwheat-noodles-late-lunch/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
