대담한 쎗바닥의 감브(13 reviews)Lunch・Visited 2026/10(1 visits)3.005The Ganghwa-do spot where Seoryeong, the No. 1 Pyongyang Cold Noodle place, used to beIt wouldn't be strange to call this place the No. 1 Pyongyang cold noodle spot in the country; it's where Seoryeong used to be. It's just a short drive past the Choji Bridge in Ganghwa-do, though getting across the bridge is a living hell. After Seoryeong moved its main branch from Ganghwa-do to Seoul, a new Pyongyang cold noodle shop opened in that exact same spot. The shop is called Gilsang Myeonok; the interior is almost unchanged from the old Seoryeong, and the menu is nearly identical, so I suspect they might have passed down the recipe. I'm just guessing, of course. The menu consists of cold noodles, pork jowl boiled pork (Suyuk), and dumplings. There are three types of cold noodles: Pyongyang style, spicy mixed style, and perilla oil noodles. I ordered the Pyongyang, spicy, and pork jowl Suyuk. At 15,000 won for noodles and 17,000 won for a half-serving of Suyuk, some might find the prices a bit steep. The standard set comes with noodles and pickled radish, and they provide two types: red pickled radish and white pickled radish. Even if I try not to compare it with Seoryeong, it's inevitable. That is the truth. Because the shop's location, interior, and menu composition are all nearly identical to the original Seoryeong. I first tried the broth of the Pyongyang cold noodles. Compared to hardcore Pyongyang cold noodles, it has a deeper meat aroma. The noodles are made of pure buckwheat and have a decent texture. The sweet and spicy seasoning of the mixed cold noodles wasn't bad, either. I remembered being quite shocked by the pork jowl Suyuk when I first tasted it during the old Seoryeong days, so I had some expectations. While the plating was similar, it didn't quite meet my expectations. For one thing, the meat thickness was uneven; some pieces were a bit uncomfortably thick, while others were thin. Overall, the texture of the meat was soft, but I felt there was a slight gamey smell. You know that common smell you find in pork belly shops that sell makgeolli? Maybe my expectations were too high, but I found it a bit disappointing. Also, there were so many flies buzzing around, which was quite a bothersome factor... If you're visiting Ganghwa-do and are curious about the taste of Seoryeong, but don't want the hassle of going all the way to their actual location, I think it's worth checking out at least once.
