Even if I give it a harsh review, it won't do much to damage the restaurant's reputation, but I can't shake the uncomfortable feeling I get from somewhere, whether it's 20 years ago or now in 2025, so I don't want to visit there again.

I ordered the Pyongyang buckwheat noodles! They came within minutes and were very tasty. First time trying North Korean food, which was interesting! Easy to find and a nice atmosphere. It’s been open since 1946!

Absolutely superb noodles! The balance of firmness and chewiness was perfect 👌, and its nuttiness was fantastic 💥 The broth had so many layers of flavour with slightly ligering umami. I didn't need any extra seasoning. It was extremely busy and high turnovers, but the staff were pretty attentive and prompt.

The kimchi here was everything. I would go back just to eat the kimchi. It was so good!The Pyongyang naengmyeon was ok, very clean tasting but a bit bland compared to some of the other restaurants that specialize in naengmyeon.

Michelin star Korean beef BBQ. Taste are so good. I used to be here 13 years ago and taste are the same. Bulgogi here is my favorite. You have to get the cue from the register box in front of the restaurant by using Korean phone number or if you do not have please go inside to tell the staffs for the cue. Avoid peak time is better chance to get the table. Seating area are big so it do not took so long for waiting. Serving are also quick. English menu are available. Credit card accepted. Enjoy !
