Myeongdong Kyoja (Main Branch)
명동교자 본점
A family-run Myeongdong institution since 1966, serving kalguksu (knife-cut noodle soup) and dumplings from a menu of just four dishes. Listed in the Michelin Guide.
Why go
Myeongdong Kyoja is the classic Myeongdong meal: rich chicken-broth kalguksu, plump dumplings and famously garlicky kimchi. Tables turn fast, so queues move quickly. A second branch sits near Myeongdong Station Exit 8.
