Myeongdong Kyoja

Located near Myeongdong Cathedral, Myeongdong Kyoja is a kalguksu (noodle soup) specialty restaurant that opened in 1966 as Myeongdong Kalguksu and has been operating for over 50 years. Kalguksu, a traditional Korean noodle dish, is one of the most beloved menus by everyone, and Myeongdong Kyoja is the place that has maintained its top position with this dish for over half a century.

The signature menu of Myeongdong Kyoja is, without a doubt, the kalguksu, where the savory and rich broth harmonizes perfectly with the soft noodles, offering a deep flavor. The generous amount of meat and vegetables placed as toppings on the kalguksu further enhance its taste. The dumplings, made with thin wrappers and a rich filling of various ingredients, are also a must-try delicacy, and other menu items such as bibim guksu (spicy mixed noodles) and kongguksu (cold soybean noodle soup) are also available.
