Gohyang Milmyeon (Main Branch) 고향밀면 본점
Gyeongju · Daereungwon, Hwangnidan-gil & Downtown · Meal
Gyeongju's version of milmyeon, a wheat noodle dish usually associated with Busan, comes in this long-running shop as a cold broth with thin noodles and a savory, slightly sweet taste. The standard order is mul-milmyeon, with fried dumplings on the side, and it lands especially well on a hot afternoon. Staff may speak little English, so pointing at the menu works fine.
Queues form near noon, so aim for just before 11:30 if you can. Prices and opening hours may change. Vegetarians should ask about broth ingredients, since it is typically made with meat stock, and spice can be added at the table.
It is an 8-minute walk from Daereungwon and 3 minutes from the Hwangnam Bread main store. Take a bus to the Hwangnam-dong stop; street parking is difficult. (Show a driver: 고향밀면)
