Overview
Myeongdong is one of the areas of Seoul known for its floating population of temporary residents and tourists. Few restaurants in this part of town have a history of more than 30 years. One of the few that does and has remained a permanent fixture in Myeongdong is Hamheung Myeonok, a Korean restaurant that has gained in popularity over the past few decades mainly through word of mouth. The restaurant is located in a more secluded part of Myeongdong, not far from the Myeongdong Cathedral and is well known for its North Korean-style naengmyeon dishes, especially its mul-naengmyeon and hoe-naengmyeon.
