🏅 MICHELIN Bib Gourmand Pyongyang Naengmyeon, Nampo Myeonok

For guests looking for authentic North Korean-style cuisine in Euljiro, we confidently recommend Nampo Myeonok, featured in the MICHELIN Guide Seoul Bib Gourmand and the Blue Ribbon Survey.

Opened some 60 years ago by a couple from Pyongyang and Jinnampo and now run by their son, it is well worth a visit if you are staying near City Hall or Euljiro.

Its signature Pyongyang-style naengmyeon has a clean taste from broth blended with dongchimi, and eobok jaengban—boiled Hanwoo beef and vegetables simmered on a wide brass tray—is another house specialty.

A variety of North Korean-style sides such as dumplings and mung bean pancakes are offered, and with both table seating and floor-seated rooms, it suits small gatherings too.
