Dreaming Buckwheat

Dreaming Buckwheat sits on the seventh floor of I'Park Mall's The Center, connected to Yongsan Station. Large brass bowls of makguksu and a generous buckwheat pancake make it useful before an active afternoon.

Spicy pollock makguksu coats earthy noodles with a tangy red seasoning, while perilla-oil makguksu turns deeply nutty with every bite. Both worked well, though the perilla-oil version won my vote.
