Jeongin Myeonok Yeouido, Seoul for Pyongyang Naengmyeon Near the National Assembly

 

If you’re in Yeouido and want to try Pyongyang naengmyeon, Jeongin Myeonok is one of the better-known places to start. It’s best known for Pyongyang-style cold noodles, and the Yeouido location makes it an easy stop for people already around the National Assembly area.

The restaurant is in Yeongdeungpo-gu near National Assembly Station, and it is currently listed in the Michelin Guide as a Bib Gourmand selection. IfIf you want a quieter, more traditional meal in Yeouido, this is the kind of place that works better for noodles and a few classic sides than a long, flashy dinner.

Jeongin Myeonok leans into the cleaner, more understated side of Pyongyang naengmyeon. The broth is meant to come across as restrained rather than punchy, so the flavor can feel subtle if you are used to stronger seasoning. For first-timers, that restraint is really the point.

What to Order

Pyeongyang Naengmyeon (평양냉면) – Cold Buckwheat Noodles

Buckwheat noodles come in a clear beef broth with a clean, lightly savory flavor. This is the bowl to order if you want to understand what Pyongyang naengmyeon is about, but the taste can read as very subtle at first if you usually go for bolder food.

Sunmyeon (순면) – Pyongyang-Style Cold Noodles

Sunmyeon is the more distinctive order here if you want to focus on the noodle itself. The broth is built from pork and beef, and the noodles have a softer, more delicate bite that breaks more easily than the standard version.

Hanwoo Bulgogi (한우불고기) – Grilled Beef

Thin slices of beef are cooked with vegetables in a soy-based sauce, making this the easiest shareable order on the table. It makes the most sense if you want something warmer and fuller next to the noodles.

What to order based on your appetite

First visit: Start with Pyeongyang Naengmyeon if you want the most classic read on the house style.
With a group: Add the bulgogi if you want the table to feel a little more substantial.
If you care more about noodle texture and a fuller broth impression, go with Sunmyeon.
