How to Order
Enter and take a seat. Press the call button on the table to order. Mul Naengmyeon (broth style) and Bibim Naengmyeon (spicy mixed) are the two main choices. Add mustard and vinegar from the table to your Mul Naengmyeon for extra zing. Use scissors provided to cut the long noodles. The broth should be drunk — it is very flavorful. Side dishes of pickled radish and kimchi are included. Pay at the counter.

The name '육쌈' means 'meat-wrap' — you wrap the chewy cold noodles in warm grilled beef.
For under ₩11,000, you get both charcoal-grilled bulgogi AND a bowl of naengmyeon — two iconic Korean dishes in one meal, making it one of Korea's best value dining experiences.
Every meal includes a complimentary warm beef broth.
Choose between Mul-Naengmyeon (cold broth noodles) or Bibim-Naengmyeon (spicy mixed noodles), both paired with charcoal bulgogi (₩9,500-11,000).
In winter, the menu switches to Kalguksu (knife-cut noodle soup) + bulgogi.
The company manufactures its own noodles and sauces.
Excellent introduction to naengmyeon for first-time visitors.
