🏅 Blue Ribbon–Selected North Korean–style Naengmyeon in Seosomun: Gangseo Myeonok
We confidently recommend Gangseo Myeonok, a long-standing North Korean–style cold noodle restaurant selected by the Blue Ribbon Survey, to anyone who wants to try both mild Pyongyang naengmyeon and Hamheung naengmyeon in one place.
If you are staying around City Hall or Deoksugung Palace, we recommend Gangseo Myeonok, on the 1st floor on Sejong-daero 11-gil in Seosomun near City Hall Station, for a refreshing lunch or a hearty dinner.
The signature Pyongyang naengmyeon serves buckwheat noodles in a subtle, mild broth, and a little vinegar and mustard bring out the house’s clean flavor.
You can also enjoy a full range of North Korean–style dishes, from Hamheung and raw-fish naengmyeon to dumpling soup with large dumplings, soybean-pulp stew and mung bean pancakes, plus grilled Hanwoo sirloin.
