Stories about this place
- Six Seoul houses that make the noodle by hand — kalguksu, guksi, sujebi
Only houses that cut or tear wheat dough by hand and drop it straight into the broth. All six sell a bowl in the ten-thousand-won range, none of them is a spicy dish, and two are walking distance from Gyeongbokgung and Bukchon. The record names the broth at four of the six and not at the other two, and both the difference and the gap are written down here.
