Damyang Noodle Street 담양 국수거리
Damyang · Damyang Town & Juknokwon · Sights
A cluster of small noodle shops sits on the lane just below the embankment, and it is where most people eat a light lunch in town. Nearly every place serves two basics: a warm noodle soup in clear anchovy broth and a spicy mixed version tossed in red sauce, usually with a boiled egg on the side. Broth strength and toppings differ from shop to shop, so choosing is part of the fun.
Because the street is short, you can compare menus posted at the doors before picking one. Most shops are cash friendly, but cards are usually accepted too; hours may change.
Park in the public lot by the street and walk into the lane. It is about a five-minute walk from the main gate of Juknokwon. (Show a driver: 담양 국수거리)
