Songwon Makguksu 송원막국수
Gapyeong · Gapyeong Town, Nami & Jara Islands · Meal
Makguksu is a cold dish of buckwheat noodles tossed in a tangy, slightly sweet sauce, a staple of mountainous Gangwon and northern Gyeonggi cooking. This neighborhood shop in Gapyeong town is a local pick for a quick lunch, and a common order is a bowl of noodles shared with a small plate of sliced boiled pork (suyuk). The noodles have a nutty bite, and the portion suits most appetites.
It is aimed at the midday trade and closes early, so do not plan on it as a dinner stop. Check the menu board for current prices and opening hours.
It is a five-minute taxi ride from Gapyeong Station on a street in the town center, with parking in front and in nearby alleys. (Show a driver: 송원막국수)
