I am so happy!! I was out walking the other day and I saw a restaurant that served naengmyeon. Naengmyeon is one of my most favorite Korean foods! It's a cold noodle soup type thing. This particular kind of naengmyeon is called mul naengmyeon or water naengmyeon. It has a broth that it comes in while bibim naengmyeon or mixed naengmyeon has no broth and has a spicy sauce with it. To eat the naengmyeon you are supposed to add some mustard and some vinegar. those are in the little bottles on that little tray. You also need to cut your noodles with the scissors because the noodles are REALLY long and chewy so you can't really bite them off. My meal also came with some bulgogi (seasoned beef) and some pickled radish. The naengmyeon also has some pickled radish, cucumber, sesame seeds, and a hard boiled egg! It's so good! Naengmyeon may sound weird but it is so delicious and it's one of my most favorite Korean dishes!! I'm so glad that I found a place that serves it nearby! There are a few more places that I've passed by that also serve naengmyeon in my neighborhood so I'll have to try them eventually but this was a good start! Also the amount of Korean that I know was able to serve me well in this place!
The restaurant was super casual! I went in and was basically told to seat myself and I just had to tell the shop employee shortly after coming in what I wanted to eat. There were only three options plus an option for dumplings. It's a very specialized restaurant which I would hope means that it's really good that those few things (it was from what I tasted)! The water and silverware were also self serve as per usual. It was so nice! Overall it was a great experience. This whole meal cost me a total of 6,500 won or about $5.68. It's a great deal for a good amount of food that filled me up! I also could have gotten some pork dumplings for about $2.70. I might just get some the next time I go! I wholeheartedly recommend Mul Naengmyeon! It's delicious and wonderful and fantastic particularly if it's kind of hot out but it's still really good when it's a little chilly.
