    "description": "Located near Namsangol Hanok Village by Chungmuro subway station, this restaurant is a Pil-dong landmark that has been serving Pyeongyang cold buckwheat noodles for decades.\n\nThe restaurant's chilled broth has a delicate beef flavor, its subtlety both loved and disputed among cold buckwheat noodle aficionados.\n\nAnother highlight of the restaurant is the buttery and tender boiled pork slices, served in thick slices with a dipping sauce.\n\nHomemade dumplings are also popular.\n\nPildong Myeonok was founded in 1969 by daughters of the Pyongyang refugee matriarch behind the famed \"Uijeongbu faction\" of naengmyeon shops.",
    "hook": "The naengmyeon purist's pick, austere and almost meditative.",
