On an early rainy evening the writer ordered the mul-naengmyeon called Sunjo 1800 plus wujeon (Korean beef pancake), and the savory broth crowned with yukjeon slices alongside the warm beef was the standout. For a first taste of Jinju naengmyeon on a trip to Jinju, the mul-naengmyeon and wujeon pairing at Songgiwon Jinju Naengmyeon Direct Store is the order to make. ## Good to know - **Address**: 49 Cheonsu-ro, 1st floor, Jinju-si, Gyeongnam (Juyak-dong 360-4) - **Hours**: Daily 11:00–21:00 - **Closed**: Tuesdays - **Break time**: 16:00–17:00 - **Parking**: Dedicated lot on site - **Ordered**: Mul-naengmyeon (Sunjo 1800), wujeon (Korean beef pancake) - **Self-serve bar**: Extra side dishes, warm broth - **Event**: Naver receipt review event — soft drink, canned beer, or extra yukjeon topping *as written by the visitor on Sep 6, 2026* ![Vertical image of Jinju naengmyeon at Songgiwon Jinju Naengmyeon Direct Store](https://img.superchart.com/images/jinju-naengmyeon-songgiwon-woojeon-dinner/jinju-naengmyeon-songgiwon-woojeon-dinner-01-ygkb8-960.webp) One of the first things I looked up while planning my Jinju trip was where to eat. Sightseeing matters, sure, but you can't skip the fun of good food, right? I heard there's a dish you absolutely have to try if you go to Jinju, so I dug in. ![Image introducing a Jinju naengmyeon restaurant found during a Jinju trip](https://img.superchart.com/images/jinju-naengmyeon-songgiwon-woojeon-dinner/jinju-naengmyeon-songgiwon-woojeon-dinner-02-14kbu-966.webp) I've always liked naengmyeon (cold buckwheat noodles), and Jinju's famous version is exactly that — Jinju naengmyeon! So I visited "Songgiwon Jinju Naengmyeon Direct Store." ![Exterior of Songgiwon Jinju Naengmyeon Direct Store on Cheonsu-ro](https://img.superchart.com/images/jinju-naengmyeon-songgiwon-woojeon-dinner/jinju-naengmyeon-songgiwon-woojeon-dinner-03-1yi6h-966.webp) ![Full view of the building and entrance of Songgiwon Jinju Naengmyeon Direct Store](https://img.superchart.com/images/jinju-naengmyeon-songgiwon-woojeon-dinner/jinju-naengmyeon-songgiwon-woojeon-dinner-04-1i47w-966.webp) ## Where is Songgiwon Jinju Naengmyeon Direct Store?

Break time runs 4–5pm, and there's a dedicated parking lot on site. - 📍 Address: 360-4 Juyak-dong, 1st floor, Jinju-si, Gyeongnam, South Korea - ⏰ Hours: Daily 11:00–21:00 / Closed Tuesdays - ⏳ Break time: 16:00–17:00 - 🅿️ Parking: Dedicated lot on site It sits right on the road, so it's easy to find, and having a parking lot made it convenient to drive there. Since I arrived early on a rainy evening, the lot was pretty empty too. ![Parking lot at Songgiwon Jinju Naengmyeon Direct Store on a rainy evening](https://img.superchart.com/images/jinju-naengmyeon-songgiwon-woojeon-dinner/jinju-naengmyeon-songgiwon-woojeon-dinner-05-16f7t-819.webp) ![Area around the store entrance at Songgiwon Jinju Naengmyeon Direct Store](https://img.superchart.com/images/jinju-naengmyeon-songgiwon-woojeon-dinner/jinju-naengmyeon-songgiwon-woojeon-dinner-06-15v54-966.webp) ## What the dining room at Songgiwon Jinju Naengmyeon feels like Walking into Songgiwon Jinju Naengmyeon Direct Store, the space was clean, bright overall, and the tables were spaced generously enough to eat comfortably. ![Interior of Songgiwon Jinju Naengmyeon Direct Store with generously spaced tables](https://img.superchart.com/images/jinju-naengmyeon-songgiwon-woojeon-dinner/jinju-naengmyeon-songgiwon-woojeon-dinner-07-1lrx3-966.webp) ![Bright, clean dining hall of the Jinju naengmyeon restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/jinju-naengmyeon-songgiwon-woojeon-dinner/jinju-naengmyeon-songgiwon-woojeon-dinner-08-1thmt-966.webp) ![Seating suitable for family meals and gatherings at the naengmyeon restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/jinju-naengmyeon-songgiwon-woojeon-dinner/jinju-naengmyeon-songgiwon-woojeon-dinner-09-uwlbf-966.webp) The place was more pleasant and comfortable than I expected. When you think of a traditional naengmyeon restaurant, you might picture something a bit old and worn, but this felt like a great spot for a family meal, a gathering, or a night out with friends. ![Menu board at Songgiwon Jinju Naengmyeon Direct Store](https://img.superchart.com/images/jinju-naengmyeon-songgiwon-woojeon-dinner/jinju-naengmyeon-songgiwon-woojeon-dinner-10-806ki-831.webp) ![Menu listing showing mul-naengmyeon Sunjo 1800](https://img.superchart.com/images/jinju-naengmyeon-songgiwon-woojeon-dinner/jinju-naengmyeon-songgiwon-woojeon-dinner-11-1qe6g-873.webp) ## What we ordered: Sunjo 1800 mul-naengmyeon and wujeon Looking over the menu, I ordered the most basic option at Songgiwon Jinju Naengmyeon Direct Store: the mul-naengmyeon (cold noodles in broth) Sunjo 1800 and wujeon (beef yukjeon). The name is a little unusual, right? Mul-naengmyeon (Sunjo 1800!) — the name alone seemed to carry a bit of Jinju's tradition, which got my expectations up, haha. ![Table setting after placing the order](https://img.superchart.com/images/jinju-naengmyeon-songgiwon-woojeon-dinner/jinju-naengmyeon-songgiwon-woojeon-dinner-12-120rf-966.webp) First came the basic side dishes — two kinds of kimchi — and a cool glass of water. ![Two basic kimchi side dishes and a glass of cold water](https://img.superchart.com/images/jinju-naengmyeon-songgiwon-woojeon-dinner/jinju-naengmyeon-songgiwon-woojeon-dinner-13-1dsiz-966.webp) ### How the wujeon (Korean beef pancake) tasted Soon a large plate of wujeon arrived. It's made from 1++(9) grade Korean beef, trimmed and aged, then pan-fried in 100% domestic buckwheat flour, apparently! ![A plate of Korean beef wujeon served at the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/jinju-naengmyeon-songgiwon-woojeon-dinner/jinju-naengmyeon-songgiwon-woojeon-dinner-14-pfeyn-966.webp) ![Close-up of wujeon pan-fried in buckwheat flour](https://img.superchart.com/images/jinju-naengmyeon-songgiwon-woojeon-dinner/jinju-naengmyeon-songgiwon-woojeon-dinner-15-1404q-966.webp) ![Picking up a piece of warm wujeon](https://img.superchart.com/images/jinju-naengmyeon-songgiwon-woojeon-dinner/jinju-naengmyeon-songgiwon-woojeon-dinner-16-1e7mm-966.webp) The wujeon was warm with a soft, tender texture, and its savory flavor worked really well alongside the cold noodles. Especially the rhythm of eating naengmyeon, then a bite of wujeon, then a sip of cold broth again — that combination is subtly addictive, and I'd recommend it alongside the Jinju naengmyeon. ![A plate of wujeon perfect for sharing between two](https://img.superchart.com/images/jinju-naengmyeon-songgiwon-woojeon-dinner/jinju-naengmyeon-songgiwon-woojeon-dinner-17-1ewtx-966.webp) If you're visiting with two or more people, adding an extra wujeon to share seems like a good idea too. ![Mul-naengmyeon Sunjo 1800 topped with yukjeon garnish](https://img.superchart.com/images/jinju-naengmyeon-songgiwon-woojeon-dinner/jinju-naengmyeon-songgiwon-woojeon-dinner-18-r8kyf-1200.webp) ### Sunjo 1800 mul-naengmyeon: yukjeon topping and the broth Finally, the Sunjo 1800 mul-naengmyeon arrived! After a short wait, the noodles came out looking refreshingly cool just to see. And the first thing that caught my eye was the yukjeon garnish on top of the noodles. ![Close-up of the yukjeon garnish unique to Jinju naengmyeon](https://img.superchart.com/images/jinju-naengmyeon-songgiwon-woojeon-dinner/jinju-naengmyeon-songgiwon-woojeon-dinner-19-dnkfm-966.webp) This definitely looks different from the naengmyeon most people picture, right? Jinju naengmyeon is known for its yukjeon garnish, and seeing it in person was genuinely surprising. I loosened the noodles gently with chopsticks, then took a sip of the broth first. ![Jinju mul-naengmyeon with noodles loosened for eating](https://img.superchart.com/images/jinju-naengmyeon-songgiwon-woojeon-dinner/jinju-naengmyeon-songgiwon-woojeon-dinner-20-bhnx6-966.webp) ![Savory Jinju naengmyeon broth with noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/jinju-naengmyeon-songgiwon-woojeon-dinner/jinju-naengmyeon-songgiwon-woojeon-dinner-21-1lc9h-966.webp) If you're expecting the plain, subtle flavor of Pyongyang naengmyeon, this is a bit different — the broth had a distinctly savory depth unique to Jinju naengmyeon. Made with seafood and meat stock, it has a particular richness that's cool yet savory, and once you taste it, the subtle depth keeps you reaching for spoonful after spoonful of broth. I also grabbed extra side dishes and warm broth from the self-serve bar. ![Extra side dishes and warm broth from the self-serve bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/jinju-naengmyeon-songgiwon-woojeon-dinner/jinju-naengmyeon-songgiwon-woojeon-dinner-22-f0u61-966.webp) Naver receipt review event — get a drink, canned beer, or extra yukjeon topping! ![Sign for the receipt review event](https://img.superchart.com/images/jinju-naengmyeon-songgiwon-woojeon-dinner/jinju-naengmyeon-songgiwon-woojeon-dinner-23-fpaan-752.webp) ![Details of the review event benefits](https://img.superchart.com/images/jinju-naengmyeon-songgiwon-woojeon-dinner/jinju-naengmyeon-songgiwon-woojeon-dinner-24-qrbim-811.webp) ## Is Songgiwon worth a dinner stop on a Jinju trip? Cool, savory broth, chewy noodles, and savory yukjeon on top — plus a warm wujeon on the side made for a hearty, satisfying meal. I tried the mul-naengmyeon this time, so next time I'd like to try the bibim-naengmyeon (spicy mixed version) too. If you're planning a trip to Jinju and struggling to pick a restaurant, make sure a Jinju naengmyeon spot makes your list.
