Dongnae Makguksu

Dongnae Makguksu is located in Yeoju-si, Gyeonggi-do. Because the buckwheat noodles are made by hand-pulling them, they have an appropriate elasticity, making them soft yet chewy. As a makguksu specialty restaurant, the menu is simple. There are water makguksu, spicy mixed makguksu, and warm makguksu, and there is also boiled pork slices that go well together. The spicy mixed makguksu is topped generously with spicy seasoning, egg, seaweed flakes, cucumber strips, and sesame salt on buckwheat noodles. The nuttiness of sesame oil harmonizes well with the sweet and spicy sauce. The seasoning is not strong, but its unique savory flavor keeps you coming back. The water naengmyeon and warm naengmyeon have a clean and savory milky broth. It is also fine to eat the makguksu without adding vinegar or mustard, just as served. The boiled pork slices have no gamey smell, with a subtle herbal scent, and are moist with just the right amount of moisture. The ratio of fat to lean meat is good, creating a harmonious blend of tender meat and chewy, savory fat.
