The best Naengmyeon in Korea

In Korea, the best Naengmyeon (cold buckwheat noodles, 냉면) tends to come from the places that have lasted. Each of these 31 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."
