Stepping into Pyeonghaeok (평해옥 – yes, that's how it's spelled!) feels like traveling back in time. Tucked away at 삼일대로26길 17, this isn't just a restaurant; it's an experience. Forget the neon signs and K-Pop blaring from speakers – here, tranquility reigns. The star of the show is undoubtedly their naengmyeon (cold noodles). I opted for the mul naengmyeon, and the broth was an absolute revelation! Tangy, savory, slightly sweet, and subtly spicy – it was a symphony of flavors dancing on my tongue. The noodles had that perfect chewiness that's essential for a truly great naengmyeon experience. The banchan (side dishes) were equally impressive, showcasing the best of Korean culinary traditions. Seriously, even if you think you don't like cold noodles, give this place a try. You might just become a convert! Pyeonghaeok is a hidden gem that deserves all the praise it gets. Just a heads up, it can get crowded during peak hours, so plan accordingly. But trust me, it's worth the wait!
