About
Casual naengmyeon joint near Guro District Office serving icy cold broth noodles and spicy variations alongside thin-skinned dumplings.
Located near Guro District Office and Daelim Station, 1695 Naengmyeon is a dedicated cold noodle shop that stands apart from standard barbecue-joint offerings. In an area where diners often settle for commercial factory broths served alongside grilled pork, this ground-floor spot delivers clean, focused naengmyeon in an uncluttered, hospitable room fitted with four four-seater tables and three two-seater tables. The menu is tightly curated, keeping decisions straightforward. The classic mul-naengmyeon arrives crowned with a thick canopy of slushy shaved ice that chills straight through to the sinuses, paired with generous garnishes of sliced cucumber and sweet pear. Rather than leaning on heavy, artificial sweetness, the broth is remarkably clean and balanced, offering a milder, more delicate profile that drinks easily to the last drop without leaving you parched. For those chasing heat, the bul-mul-naengmyeon infuses that icy foundation with a fiercely spicy house sauce, striking an addictive interplay between biting chill and creeping fire. Variations like bibim-naengmyeon, yeolmu-naengmyeon with young summer radish kimchi, and raw fish-topped hoe-naengmyeon round out the noodle selections. Every bowl pairs naturally with the concise lineup of sides. Plates of char-grilled bulgogi arrive infused with deep smoky aroma, perfectly proportioned to wrap around chilled strands of chewy noodles. Alternatively, the steamed mandu are crafted with translucent, paper-thin skins wrapped tightly around textured fillings where every ingredient retains its bite. Diners can order the dumplings in half-and-half portions of six, making it an accessible addition to any order. Attracting a steady midday crowd of local office workers, the shop delivers solid value with fair pricing and spotless table settings equipped with soy sauce, vinegar, and mustard. Open Monday through Saturday from 10:30 to 20:30 (closed Sundays), 1695 Naengmyeon offers a reliable escape from the humid city streets.
