One of Nokji's biggest strengths is that staff grill the meat to the perfect doneness from start to finish. They even asked about my preferred doneness, and the service was so good that I could relax and chat comfortably with my companion while eating. They grilled the shoulder rack to a golden brown, and at the end came the performance of finishing it with a torch to add that smoky aroma... 🔥 ![Small plate with mortar-crushed salt](https://img.superchart.com/images/nokji-magok-shoulder-rack-buckwheat-noodles/nokji-magok-shoulder-rack-buckwheat-noodles-14-t2945-900.webp) Staff even crushed salt with a mortar right at the table and served it on a small plate. Little details like this made me feel truly pampered. ![Lamb topped with grilled minari and flying fish roe](https://img.superchart.com/images/nokji-magok-shoulder-rack-buckwheat-noodles/nokji-magok-shoulder-rack-buckwheat-noodles-15-j93xs-900.webp) ![A piece of lamb paired with minari and chili](https://img.superchart.com/images/nokji-magok-shoulder-rack-buckwheat-noodles/nokji-magok-shoulder-rack-buckwheat-noodles-16-1rnz7-900.webp) ## Minari and flying fish roe toppings with egg yolk soy sauce I took the first piece of grilled meat, topped it with grilled minari (water celery) + flying fish roe + chili, and took a bite... the fragrance of minari, the saltiness of the roe, and the juiciness of the meat all came together for an explosion of umami ㅠㅠ Since it's dry-aged chilled meat, there was zero gamey smell, and the balance of saltiness, savoriness, and spiciness was truly perfect! ![Fully grilled lamb rack with assorted toppings](https://img.superchart.com/images/nokji-magok-shoulder-rack-buckwheat-noodles/nokji-magok-shoulder-rack-buckwheat-noodles-17-q9dwu-900.webp) ![Egg yolk soy sauce dip](https://img.superchart.com/images/nokji-magok-shoulder-rack-buckwheat-noodles/nokji-magok-shoulder-rack-buckwheat-noodles-18-1jejp-900.webp) Dipping the meat in a mix of egg yolk and soy sauce gave it a yakiniku-like flavor, which was a refreshing change of pace when things started to feel rich ![Lamb dipped in egg yolk soy sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/nokji-magok-shoulder-rack-buckwheat-noodles/nokji-magok-shoulder-rack-buckwheat-noodles-19-qyvtl-900.webp) ![Mashed potato served alongside the lamb](https://img.superchart.com/images/nokji-magok-shoulder-rack-buckwheat-noodles/nokji-magok-shoulder-rack-buckwheat-noodles-20-3soif-900.webp) Mashed potato is also served (seriously, how many toppings are there??). The smooth mashed potato gently wraps around the lamb's flavor and melts in your mouth... a combination that's both light and deep, totally my type 🤤 With so many toppings and sauces, dipping into everything was so much fun~! ![A bite of lamb rack with mashed potato](https://img.superchart.com/images/nokji-magok-shoulder-rack-buckwheat-noodles/nokji-magok-shoulder-rack-buckwheat-noodles-21-vwd9c-900.webp) ![Buckwheat noodles topped with seaweed flakes](https://img.superchart.com/images/nokji-magok-shoulder-rack-buckwheat-noodles/nokji-magok-shoulder-rack-buckwheat-noodles-22-qzj4c-900.webp) ![Buckwheat noodles topped with a piece of grilled meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/nokji-magok-shoulder-rack-buckwheat-noodles/nokji-magok-shoulder-rack-buckwheat-noodles-23-12421-900.webp) ## Buckwheat noodles on the side, 8,000 won Buckwheat noodles, ₩8,000. Once I was well into the meat, I ordered the buckwheat noodles as a side — it's basically an unwritten rule to top it with seaweed flakes, a sweet-spicy sauce, and a well-grilled piece of meat. The cool, tangy noodles cut right through the meat's richness, so you can keep eating down to the last bite without getting tired of it! ![Shoulder rack rib bone fitted with a handle support](https://img.superchart.com/images/nokji-magok-shoulder-rack-buckwheat-noodles/nokji-magok-shoulder-rack-buckwheat-noodles-24-tespr-900.webp) ## The finale: hand-torn lamb shoulder rack The final highlight, of course, was the shoulder rack rib bone, torn apart by hand! The staff even fitted a handle support on the bone so you could hold and tear it apart comfortably — such a thoughtful touch 👍 ## Where it is - Nokji Magok Main Branch (녹지 마곡본점) - 247 Gonghang-daero, Gangseo-gu, Seoul, Queens Park Nine Building B, Unit 131, South Korea - 서울특별시 강서구 공항대로 247 퀸즈파크나인 B동 131호 - 37.5594436, 126.8348632 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%85%B9%EC%A7%80%20%EB%A7%88%EA%B3%A1%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@37.5594436,126.8348632,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@jeju-small-plates/nokji-magok-shoulder-rack-buckwheat-noodles/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
