Why here

A Yongsan noodle institution built around yukgalguksu — a spicy, slightly tangy ox-bone broth loaded with scallions, served tsukemen-style with the wheat noodles kept separate from the soup rather than boiled together. The compact dining room turns tables quickly, so even lunch-hour crowds move fast. Featured on Choiza Road.
