Heritage Restaurants · Kalguksu

The best Kalguksu in Korea

In Korea, the best Kalguksu (knife-cut noodles, 칼국수) tends to come from the places that have lasted. Each of these 17 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 that has served the same dish for decades has earned the word "best." Pick one near you and open it in your own map app for photos, hours, and directions.
