Ojangdong Heungnamjip Main Branch

Address

114 Mareunnae-ro, Jung-gu, Seoul

Description

This is the main branch of Ojangdong Heungnamjip, a renowned restaurant specializing in Hamheung-style cold noodles. Please note that it closes relatively early, so it’s best to check the hours before visiting. The signature dish here is Raw Fish Bibim Naengmyeon, though they also serve Meat Bibim Naengmyeon, Mul Naengmyeon (cold broth noodles), and Onmyeon (warm noodles). As is tradition in naengmyeon houses, a cup of warm broth is provided at the table—sip it to soothe your stomach. Unlike most places that only offer vinegar and mustard, here you’ll find vinegar, mustard, sesame oil, sugar, and seasoned sauce so you can adjust flavors to your liking. Only one side dish is served—refreshing, tangy radish salad—which perfectly complements the noodles. Hamheung Naengmyeon originates from the North Korean city of Hamheung, known for its chewy sweet potato starch noodles paired with spicy skate fish. This restaurant has been preserving its secret recipe for four generations. When the vibrant red sauce is mixed into the noodles, it’s best to cut the chewy strands with scissors before eating. Pairing the noodles with a bite of skate sashimi creates the perfect harmony. The noodles are springy, and though they look fiery red, the taste is not overly spicy—rather, it balances sweetness, tanginess, and mild heat. The skate adds a crunchy, cartilage-like texture that makes the dish unique. Another must-try is the Boiled Pork Slices (Suyuk). Made from domestic beef shank, the meat is tender and deeply flavorful, delicious on its own but even better dipped in a slightly sweet sauce. The best way to enjoy it? Take a bite of suyuk together with naengmyeon in one mouthful. If you want to experience the true essence of Hamheung Naengmyeon, we highly recommend visiting this historic main branch of Ojangdong Heungnamjip, where tradition has been carried on for generations.
