“Cheongsu†is located on the first floor of a shopping district near Yeoui-dong Community Center. It's rumored to be a good value for money, and it's always crowded with nearby office workers at lunchtime on weekdays. The signature menu, “soba noodles,†is served with rich tsuyu sauce and soba noodles topped with seaweed powder. You can adjust the seasoning according to your taste by adding sliced green onions and grated radish on the table to the tsuyu. Due to its high buckwheat content, the combination of noodles that are easy to cut and salty broth is attractive. If the amount of soba is slightly insufficient, we recommend the “soba set meal.†You can have a hearty meal with deep-fried sushi . A variety of meal menus such as udon , bibimbap, and gyoza are also available.

“Songwon Makguksu†is so famous that it has been introduced to manga diners. It is a place that tourists visiting Gapyeong must stop by at least once during the holiday season. The signature menu is “Makguksu,†which is thick soba noodles topped with lots of beef, sauce, and finely ground sesame seeds. The rich aroma of sesame oil and sesame seeds added to the soft noodles is exquisite. At this place, I recommend adding a little bit of broth and adding mustard or vinegar to eat it sweet and sour. Another popular menu item is “pork,†which is thick pork belly cooked thoroughly and has an attractive soft texture. If you wrap it in kimchi, which is served as a side dish, and eat it in one bite, you can enjoy it even more.
