About

Modern Maemeal is a fusion Korean restaurant that reinterprets makguksu, Chuncheon's signature buckwheat noodle dish, in a modern style and serves dishes built around buckwheat. The signatures Modern Maemeal puts forward are a sweet-and-tangy soy sauce makguksu, a truffle-scented truffle potato pancake, and sous-vide tenderloin suyuk served with several sauces. Modern Maemeal's buckwheat sujebi comes in five versions — hot, jang (soybean paste), cream, mala and mala cream — and the menu also includes a salted octopus makguksu inspired by capellini, a basil-scented spring potato pancake, and sous-vide whole pork belly.

Modern Maemeal occupies an old house that was formerly used as a supermarket and a barbershop.
