Gangnam noodle lunch with a 10-minute QR wait: Sinbok Myeongwan
Sinbok Myeongwan is a Chinese knife-cut noodle and dim sum restaurant 58 meters from Exit 1 of Gangnam Station in Seoul. On a weekday visit at noon, the QR waitlist at the entrance meant only a 10-minute wait before a bowl of yubal doosakmyeon (spicy sauce knife-shaved noodles) at 11,000 won and shrimp fried rice at 10,500 won; the noodles tasted more factory-made than handmade, but the sauce balance was good. For Gangnam office workers who want a fast lunch without queuing on the street, Sinbok Myeongwan is a safe choice.
