The octopus stew and stir-fried octopus are especially delicious. The stir-fried octopus is delicious without being spicy or salty.

💬

It was super spicy but fresh and delicious. It really goes well with beer.

💬

The price of octopus bibimbap is 9,900 won. The taste is good. But the price is expensive.

Myeongdong Hamheung Myeonok

·$$

This Myeongdong institution has been serving its signature Hamheung-style cold noodles since 1978. The thin, chewy noodles are a perfect canvas for the subtly sweet and spicy broths, with many celebrating the accompanying beef bone soup. While the flavors are generally well-loved, some recent diners note a decline in quality and portion size.

It's near the Solaria Nishitetsu Hotel where I often stay, but I never thought I'd find such a wonderful hiyashi noodle shop just one backstreet away.

💬

There can be a wait at lunchtime, so it's best to go a little later.

💬

It's located on a back street off the bustling Myeongdong thoroughfare, so I overlooked it at first.

This Bukchang-dong institution has been serving its signature red-seasoned pork belly for over the years. It's a place where generations have come for comfort food and a taste of old Seoul. Expect simple, satisfying grilled meats and a warm, familiar atmosphere.

The marinated meat tends to burn quickly on the grill, so we recommend grilling it in moderation.

💬

The staff who looked after us were very attentive, which made the delicious food taste even better.

💬

Is it the high prices that should be blamed? Four people spent 90,000 won, but I experienced the magic of not feeling full at all.
