🏅 MICHELIN-Selected Pyongyang Naengmyeon for Three Generations: Pyeongyang Myeonok

We confidently recommend Pyeongyang Myeonok Jangchung Main Branch, a MICHELIN Guide Seoul–selected restaurant that has served Pyongyang naengmyeon for three generations — perfect for tasting authentic Korean cold noodles.

If you are staying around Dongdaemun or Jangchung-dong, we recommend Pyeongyang Myeonok on Jangchungdan-ro near Dongdaemun History & Culture Park Station for a clean, light meal.

The clear, mellow meat broth carries a subtle savory depth and pairs with buckwheat noodles for a refreshing bowl of Pyongyang naengmyeon.

The mandu filled with various ingredients (no kimchi) and thinly sliced jeyuk and beef pyeonyuk are popular companions to the noodles.
