All hail the Mecca of Mul Naengmyun lovers!
I can't say enough about how great their naengmyun is ~ it is the perfect dish for a hot summer day (my cravings, however, persist all year round even in -30 degree weather!). If you don't believe me, ask the lineup of Koreans flocking to this restaurant on any given summer evening or Sunday after church. At the risk of sounding melodramatic - Cho Sun Ok's naengmyun would probably be my last meal request if I were on death row.
What makes it such a winning dish? The noodles - the top secret recipe noodles - that are the perfect width and chewiness that so many other restaurants have failed to replicate. The icy slushy beef broth is also made with the perfect consistency - seriously, I've been to restaurants where they just threw a bunch of ice cubes in. The moo and cucumber add a nice crunchiness to the dish. Add a little vinegar and mustard sauce to taste and your mind will be blown! Really, it is the quintessential naengmyun that I have found no comparison for ~ It is in a league of its own.
The interior is nice and extensive renos were done not too long ago. They actually expanded their space by taking over the store that was beside it - a clear sign of the their success. Service is quick and efficient once you get a table.
I would definitely recommend this restaurant!
P.S. Their other dishes are excellent too, I just couldn't stop raving about the naengmyun.
