A new naengmyeon place called Seogwan Myeonok has opened in Gyodae. Part of me thinks there are too many naengmyeon places by now, but they are all still packed. If the fried chicken joints in every neighborhood can stay in business, a few more naengmyeon places shouldn’t be a problem either.

Inside
Looks like a good spot for a group.
Taebasi kelp vinegar on the table.
Hmm, they say it tastes better with a splash of vinegar, but I’m not so sure about that.
Water
Yep.
Matbagi naengmyeon
The idea seems to be that it costs a bit more but comes with all sorts of toppings to snack on. The generous toppings are welcome, sure, but the problem is it’s awkward to eat.
Naengmyeon
It was decent enough, but not really my thing.
