“Raw Fish Cold Noodles: KRW 12,000”
On this particular day, three men visited the restaurant. While there was seating available on the first floor, they chose to go to the basement since the first floor was already full.
After contemplating the menu, they decided to order raw fish cold noodles. Despite the availability of other types of cold noodles, raw fish cold noodles seemed to be the most appealing and unique option at this place.
“Large Dumplings: KRW 10,000”
Feeling that ordering only cold noodles might leave them wanting, they also ordered large dumplings. Priced at KRW 10,000 for six dumplings, it was a reasonable choice, and the combination of dumplings with cold noodles complemented each other well. It was a harmonious blend of cold and warm dishes.
“A Considerable-Sized Restaurant”
The restaurant has both a first floor and a basement. The first-floor space is substantial and, likewise, the basement seems to be quite spacious. With room to accommodate at least 100 people simultaneously, it creates an atmosphere suitable for handling a large number of guests.
After ordering the raw fish cold noodles, surprisingly, they received additional noodles without requesting them. Although three men visited and there was concern about possibly running out of noodles, the weather was exceptionally hot that day. As a result, all three couldn’t finish the extra noodles, leaving them feeling both regretful and apologetic.
If you’re searching for raw fish cold noodles in Yeonhui-dong, this place is worth a visit. The location on a main street also makes it easy to find.
