Located in the heart of Myeong-dong (Seoul), Myeongdong Kyoja is undoubtedly one of Korea’s most iconic restaurants for Kalguksu (hand-cut noodle soup).

Since its first opening in 1966, it has cemented its reputation as a must-visit spot for both locals and tourists. The success of the original branch has led to the opening of two more locations, one in Myeong-dong and another in Itaewon.

Since the introduction of the Michelin Guide to Korea in 2017, Myeongdong Kyoja has consistently earned a Bib Gourmand every year.

Kalguksu  10,000 won

Famous for its rich, meaty broth and perfectly cooked noodles, the Kalguksu lives up to its legendary status. The soup includes dumplings generously packed with savory meat, making it hearty and satisfying.

Bibimguksu  10,000 won

This was my first time trying Bibimguksu, and I was pleasantly surprised. The noodles are mixed in a slightly spicy sauce that’s flavorful and refreshing, a great contrast to the warm broth of the Kalguksu.

One great thing about dining here is that extra noodles and rice bowls are free, but this offer applies only when you order one meal per person.

Myeongdong Kyoja’s enduring popularity since 1966 is no surprise. The delicious dishes, reasonable prices, and recognition by the Michelin Guide make it a must-visit destination for anyone in Seoul.

Whether you're craving their Kalguksu, mandu, or Bibimguksu, this place has something for everyone. Myeongdong Kyoja is not to be missed.
