Park Yong-ja Gyeongju Myeongdong Jjolmyeon
Central Gyeongju, South Korea
Myeongdong Jjolmyeon is a small-scale alternative to a long restaurant meal, with freshly made noodles at the centre of the menu. Choose between a spicy mixed bowl, noodles with tofu pockets or fish cake, and a cold version when available. The springy texture is the attraction, so take your time mixing the sauce through the bowl. It is a useful lunch stop while exploring central Gyeongju; check the afternoon break before arriving.
