Namdaemun Kalguksu Alley
A narrow market lane lined with hand-cut-noodle stalls, pick a stool and slurp.
Each stall serves the same trio: kalguksu (knife-cut noodles in anchovy broth), bibimguksu (cold spicy noodles), and a side of cold buckwheat noodles. Aunties yell, the broth is endless, and lunch costs about $7.
