I'd never enjoyed eating Kalguksu before I came to Seoul for university. During my first year at the school, I luckily had a chance to visit Myeongdong Gyoja and gastronomically I had an exciting experience. The fifty-year-old restaurant is still the best for me.

Tips! Your lips feel like they are burning and your breath smells of garlic when you eat spicy Kimchi too much.
I usually ask the waitress a small bowl of rice and mix it with soup and eat them with rinsed garlic Kimchi in cold water. It tastes heavenly.

Dumplings stuffed with seasoned meat and vegetables.
The food melts in a person's mouth.

This is a former president Kim Young-sam's favorite noodle restaurant. The politician is well known as a big fan of Guksu(noodles).
