Behind Eulji Hospital in Apgujeong sits Pyongyang Myeonok, probably the most famous naengmyeon place in Gangnam. It is a bit pricey for lunch, but luckily I got to visit with people from work. Whenever I have felt like naengmyeon in Gangnam, this has been my go-to place for ages, and it has never let me down. If Uijeongbu were closer I might prefer the Uijeongbu Pyongyang Myeonok, but it is just too far away.

A cup of hot noodle water before the cold naengmyeon warms you up.

No matter how expensive naengmyeon gets, eating it without ordering a single side dish feels like you are missing out.
Naengmyeon
It tasted great this day too.
My office used to be right around the corner, so I came regularly, but these days I have no reason to be in Apgujeong and it is getting harder and harder to visit. I really do think the most important criterion for choosing a company or an office is whether there are good restaurants nearby.
