Seodong Miro Market
서동미로시장
About
A narrow alley market with side streets to explore and a noodle shop serving hand-cut kalguksu in clear broth.
At one of Seodong Miro Market’s small noodle shops, hand-cut kalguksu (손칼국수) keeps things simple: thick, chewy noodles in a clear, savory broth with laver flakes and green onion. Stir in the house dadagi sauce to deepen the flavor, then eat it with the shop’s sole side, crisp radish kimchi. The kalguksu is reported at about ₩4,000. There is also bibim kalguksu, served with a small bowl of warm broth on the side. The shop sits among food businesses and side streets in a narrow alley market, so the visit can be more than a quick meal; take a little time to wander. Seating is split between hall tables and a back room where you leave your shoes at the entrance. The hall is small, and lunch can bring a wait. Water is self-serve; ask the owner for a cup, as drinks are not sold. Takeout is available. The market is open daily from 10:00 to 22:00, and parking is available. This suits market browsers, solo lunch eaters and anyone after a plain, inexpensive bowl rather than a long menu. The practical catch is space: if the hall is full, you may need to wait or choose takeout.
