Michelin-Recognized Myeongdong Kyoja Main Branch

If you're visiting Seoul, this is a must-visit spot. Located in the bustling Myeongdong area, which has become even more popular recently due to K-drama filming locations, this restaurant is a true gem. While there might be a long waiting line, the turnover is quick, so you won't have to wait too long. Once you taste their food, you'll understand why it's considered one of Seoul's best Kalguksu restaurants.

Myeongdong Kyoja has its main branch in Myeongdong, a branch currently under renovation, and a newly opened annex near Myeongdong Station as of December.

When you order one dish per person, you get free noodles and rice refills. Their famous garlic kimchi is also refillable. The garlic kimchi is spicy but incredibly delicious. The Kalguksu features soft noodles, smoky-flavored meat toppings, and a rich chicken broth that is so addictive you'll keep craving it.
