This humble restaurant, featured in the Michelin Bib Gourmand in Seoul, offers just four menu items: Kalguksu, Bibimguksu (spicy noodles), Mandu (dumplings), and Kongguksu (cold soybean noodle soup).<\/p>\n Each dish is accompanied by their signature garlic-rich kimchi, fermented for over three years to achieve its bold flavor. Highlights include their silky, plump dumplings, filled with a juicy mix of pork, leeks, and vegetables, perfectly paired with the soft noodles in a thick, flavorful chicken broth. Myeongdong Kyoja is a must-visit for an authentic and affordable Korean dining experience in Seoul.<\/p>\n Just a stop away from Myeongdong, Chungmuro Jjukkumi Bulgogi<\/a> has been serving its famous webfoot octopus since 1976. Nestled in a side alley, this family-run eatery is celebrated for its signature Jjukkumi – octopus marinated in a sweet and spicy red sauce, then grilled over charcoal alongside bulgogi. The charcoal grilling process infuses the dish with a smoky aroma and rich flavor.<\/p>\n A standout feature is the use of makgeolli (Korean rice wine) during preparation, which tenderizes the octopus, removes any fishy aroma, and leaves a subtle sweetness. The experience doesn\u2019t end there. Finish with fried rice cooked in their secret sauce, paired with crunchy kimchi for the perfect ending to your meal. Add a bit of soju, and you\u2019ve got a quintessential Seoul dining experience.<\/p>\n For an authentic taste of Pyeongyang-style naengmyeon – icy cold noodles in a delicate broth – head to Pildong Myeonok<\/a>, a must-visit spot featured in the Michelin Bib Gourmand in Seoul. Known for its mild, beef-infused broth, the flavors may seem subtle at first but gradually reveal a satisfying depth. For those who enjoy bolder flavors, a dash of vinegar and mustard can enhance the experience.<\/p>\n If you prefer something spicier, try the bibim naengmyeon, served with a flavorful spicy sauce and a touch of sweetness. Pair your meal with tender, buttery pork slices and dipping sauce for the perfect complement to the chewy buckwheat noodles.<\/p>\n Situated near Mount Namsan, Pildong Myeonok is an excellent choice to wrap up a serene nature stroll with a refreshing and satisfying culinary experience.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re curious about the oldest restaurant in Seoul, Imun Seolnongtang<\/a> is one of the most iconic, serving hearty seolleongtang for over a century since opening in 1908. Featured in the Michelin Bib Gourmand in Seoul, this historic eatery is a beloved destination for traditional Korean cuisine.<\/p>\n The name “Imun Seolnongtang” holds historical significance, with “Imun” derived from Imun-gol, the original location, and “seolnongtang” being an older term for seolleongtang. Generations have cherished this spot, including Gijeong Son, the marathon gold medalist at the 1936 Berlin Olympics.<\/p>\n Their signature dish, seolleongtang, features a rich broth made from ox bones, organs, and meat, simmered for 17 hours. Served with soft wheat noodles or warm rice and topped with minced green onion, it\u2019s a timeless dish that continues to delight diners.<\/p>\n
