I’ve finally finished the renovation, so I’m posting a whole batch at once. I had a lunch appointment in Yeoksam-dong, and since it was a hot day and I felt like some cold naengmyeon, I decided to go to this place. I remembered it tasting pretty good when I got it as takeout before.
Mandu
The portion is generous, which is nice. The taste is decent enough too. But the Naju gomtang place near Yeoksam Station serves slightly better mandu than here, so compared to before, my satisfaction dropped quite a bit. If I didn’t compare, this would be perfectly fine..
Mul-naengmyeon
For some reason I could taste the MSG more than before. Maybe the heat had gotten to me, and the noodles had a bit less bite than they used to.. Keeping exactly the same taste at an ordinary restaurant is no easy thing. That’s exactly why great places exist..
Bibim-naengmyeon
It’s just that I’m not good with spicy food — overall it’s a decent naengmyeon. Either way, having a naengmyeon place nearby that’s worth eating at when you want naengmyeon is a blessing.
