Why here
Seongcheon Makguksu keeps a four-line menu — buckwheat noodles cold in broth or tossed with sauce, at ₩9,000, and a plate of boiled pork to go with them — from a ground-floor unit on Gangnam-daero, on the Seocho-gu side of Nonhyeon Station. The half plate of jeyuk at ₩6,500 is what makes it a solo lunch rather than a two-person outing. Sung Si-kyung's Muktende covered it in 2022.
