Escape the Seoul heat and step back in time at Obokjeong Naengmyeon (오복정냉면), a local gem on Changsin-gil 101 오복정냉면. Forget trendy cafes; this place is all about authentic, soul-satisfying naengmyeon (cold noodles).

But the real star is the naengmyeon. I opted for the classic Mul Naengmyeon (물냉면), and wow! The broth was a perfectly balanced symphony of tangy, savory, and slightly sweet. The noodles themselves were delightfully chewy and practically danced on my tongue. Add a dash of vinegar and mustard for an extra kick, and prepare for a flavor explosion.
