The noodles from this place are famous because they were served by representatives from North Korea at the time of the South-North Red Cross Conference. For 50 years, this restaurant has succeeded in carrying on the tradition of Pyeongyang noodles. As the native buckwheat from Gangwon-do mixed with starch makes for fine noodles, the liquor from the brisket of beef with little white radish kimchi is a wonderful broth. *Best Korean Restaurant as designated by The Seoul Metropolitan Government

Nunnamujip is famous for a North Korean dish called, “Kimchimariguksu”, which is a noodle dish in cold kimchi soup containing toasted laver, a boiled egg, and sesame. The soup is refreshingly cold and a little spicy. For “Kimchimaribap”, a bowl of rice is put into cold kimchi soup instead of noodles. The taste is very unique. In addition to Kimchimari, “Tteokgalbi” is a popular dish on the menu as well.The main restaurant is located in the basement, which has only limited seating capacity with a few tables. As a result, many people usually wait in line for lunch or dinner. A second franchise has opened in a three-story building across the street. To enjoy a quaint atmosphere, the first establishment is better, but the new one’s interior design is much more modern and fancier, giving it a fresh altering look.
