    "description": "Pyeongyang Myeonok is a historic restaurant in Seoul that has served Pyongyang naengmyeon for three generations.\n\nExpect a long wait on a hot summer's day.\n\nThe broth is exceptionally clear with an understated meaty flavor; it is clean and mellow, and the fragrant noodles are full of buckwheat flavor.\n\nThe mandu, that is stuffed full of different ingredients except kimchi, and the thinly sliced suyuk are also fan favorites.\n\nDo note that they have been closing every Monday since January 2025.\n\nPyongyang Myeonok was founded by North Korean refugees after the Korean War and is run by the third generation of the family.",
    "hook": "If Wooraeok is famous for broth, this is the one famous for the noodle itself.",
