The best Korean Noodles in Korea
Korean noodle dishes span hot and cold: knife-cut wheat noodles in broth (kalguksu), chilled buckwheat noodles (naengmyeon and makguksu), and soybean-broth noodles (kongguksu) for summer. The best korean noodles in Korea tends to come from the places that have lasted: each of these 99 restaurants is an officially recognized 백년가게, a business the Korean Ministry of SMEs certifies for 30 or more years of continuous operation. Korea's restaurant scene turns over fast, so a place still running after decades has earned the word "best." Pick one near you and open it in your own map app for photos, hours, and directions.
