Namgyeong Makguksu 남경막국수
Sokcho · Daepo Port & Oeongchi · Meal
Cold buckwheat noodles, called makguksu, are a regional comfort food, and this restaurant serves them with a tangy broth that cools you down on a hot day. The usual way to eat them is to add a splash of vinegar and a little mustard, mix, and slurp; the broth is meant to be sipped. Portions are large, and the dish is a pleasant contrast to the seafood that dominates the nearby harbor.
The line can be long at lunchtime, so go early. Vegetarians should ask whether the broth contains meat. Menus and prices may change, and cards are generally accepted.
A short walk from the entrance of Daepo Port; local bus to Daepo Port takes about 25 minutes from the bus terminals. (Show a driver: 남경막국수)
