Yangbandaek Hamheung Naengmyeon 양반댁함흥냉면 속초본점
Sokcho · Jungang Market & Dongmyeong · Meal
Hamheung-style naengmyeon comes from the northeast, and this restaurant serves a fiery version with thin, chewy noodles made from potato starch, topped with raw or marinated fish and sliced cucumber. Cutting the noodles with scissors is normal and helps with eating. The restaurant also serves Abai sundae, so it is a handy substitute if you cannot reach the village.
Ask the staff to dial down the heat if you are sensitive, and drink the cool meat broth that arrives alongside. Cards are normally accepted, and menus and prices may change.
