If you’ve ever wondered what to eat while traveling in Korea, chances are you’ve heard the name Myeongdong Kyoja.
Founded in 1966, this humble kalguksu spot has, nearly 60 years later, grown into a powerhouse — hitting 32 billion KRW in revenue in 2024 (about USD 24 million). And they did it with just four menu items:
📌 Kalguksu — hand-cut noodles in a rich, savory chicken broth
📌 Mandu — plump, juicy steamed dumplings
📌 Bibimguksu — spicy, tangy cold mixed noodles
📌 Kongguksu — creamy chilled soy milk noodles
With a simple menu, quick turnover, and — most importantly — unbeatable taste, there’s always a line out the door. It’s also become a must-visit for tourists, so much so that Myeongdong Kyoja even built a new building in Itaewon.
A true “can’t-miss” spot. If you’re in Seoul, save this one to your list!
