Samcheong-dong Sujebi Samcheong-dong Sujebi Samcheong-dong Sujebi Revisiting a classic: Samcheong-dong Sujebi. Just a wholesome bowl of handpulled noodles in a clam broth. Simple. Filling and the dumplings have a smooth elasticity that is light.

This is now my favorite jajangmyeong place and the noodles are epic. The noodles are thin and think like linguine yet silky smooth. The sauce is tangy, deep and flavorful. I could eat here until I explode. Here is what Chef Suntae who introduced me to the place. "This place has thin and linguine-like noodle that sops up the delicious black sauce." This is 'Boksunggak' recommended by chef Suntae Kim. * Boksunggak * Address: Seoul Seodaemun-gu Myongmul 1gil 24 * Phone: 0507-1416-1522

Had the famous beef noodles from Soi Yeonnam. Its a satisfying bowl of noodles like no other in Korea but it is a tad on the sweet side. The beef is incredibly tender and flavorful and I like their somtam, but it could be spicier. #seouleats #korea #yeonnamdong  Seoul, Mapo-gu Yeonnam-dong 229-67  Ph 02-323-5130

I have been told that I am a little noodle obsessed. The problem is that there are so many places to choose from in Korea that you just don't know is worth your time. That is the same case with Japanese Ramen. I have seen them come and go. Back in 2009 , I wrote a roundup of the best places but many of those places have disappeared. Of the 6 I wrote about only Hakata Bunkko is left. Luckily there is still Menya Sandaime over by Hongdae.  Now Menya Sandaime has been around for ages and they do have a chain but my friend Chad swears that this place is the best. I have to agree with him because it is my go to place when I just need a bowl of Japanese-style noodles. My favorite is the Tsukemen which has a bowl of thick, chewy noodles with a side of savory/spicy broth. you dip the noodles into the spicy broth and eat. It has a satisfying chew and an elusive spice. I have also gotten their regular ramen which has a rich broth and high-quality noodles. I usually get their gyo...

Kongguksu at Jindo Jip Kongguksu is a summer time dish that is made from ground soybeans and noodles. The chilled, thick soybean broth has noodles and it is a great dish for those that are vegetarian and for those looking for a light meal to beat the summer heat. My search for the best Kongguksu House took me to Yeouiddo where they serve their bowl of noodles for 9,500 won a bowl- almost double that any other place would dare to charge.  Very expensive, chilled noodle soup? I was was intrigued. The setting is nothing special. The only distinctive thing about the atmosphere is that it is big and busy. They have a very sparse menu- only noodle dishes. You can get chicken noodle soup, spicy mixed noodles, mandu, and a variety of rice cake soup.  I mean this place even charges extra for extra noodles and for broth! I couldn't believe it since Myeongdong Gyoza charges  almost 8,000 for a bowl of their noodles, but they give complementary refills on noodles and ...

There is a lot of controversy over the new Shin Ramyeon Black. Shin Ramyeon is the most popular brand of ramyeon in Korea because the noodles are chewy, let slick and the broth is spicy. It's my favorite brand as well. Now they came out with a more expensive version of the soup called Shin Ramyeon Black. It is a beef broth based ramyeon and it is priced almost double of the regular brand. It is the fastest selling ramyeon in Korea's history. According to the Korea Herald they made over 10 billion won ( http://www.koreaherald.com/business/Detail.jsp?newsMLId=20110627000700 ) in the first month.  However, they are being sued by different groups and were fined 150 million won for falsifying their nutrion label and for false advertising. They promised that the ramyeon was healthy and that it was the nutritional equivalent of eating a bowl of beef soup. People who love reading and learning about food (in addition to eating it) may enjoy learning about a bachelor degree online ...

Korean Banquet Noodles with Clams

These delicate noodles are usually in a light fish broth and topped with kim and green onions. You can find them anywhere and they are quite inexpensive (between 3-4,000 won). It's delicious and light- much better and healthier than ramen. Guksu from Halmoni Guksu in the Express Bus Terminal of Seoul. 3,000 won.

Here is one of the articles I wrote about the best ramen in Seoul. And yes, I know that Tum Sae Ramen is Korean style ramen. I included it because the Japanese tourists I talked to raved about it. Dan The Best Japanese Ramen in Seoul By Dan Gray When I think of Ramen I think of my favorite foodie movie: Tampopo by Juzo Itami . It is a food movie told in vignettes about a group of adventurers seeking to make the perfect bowl of Ramen. It epitomizes the Japanese’s obsession with food in a way that explains the profusion of Ramen shops in Japan. In Japan you will find Ramen shops on every corner and there are many excellent home chefs that make their own. Ramen has several components: the broth, the noodles, the meat, and vegetables. The perfect bowl is a subtle balance of each. The broth gives zip to the noodles, the crunch of vegetables counterbalances the soft noodles, and the savory pork (or other meat) transforms this snack into a meal. Recently, Japanese Style Ramen has started ...

You might notice the pretty picture in the corner. That picture was taken by me. I may be on my way to becoming a photographer. Here's Jonathon: Every week on our food blog, Voracious, I write up a local noodle dish of note in a post called The Thin Wheat Line. Here are a few of the recent installments: Tagliatelle With WTF Noodle: Tagliatelle with sous-vide duck egg, hedgehog mushrooms, and Parmesan foam. Source: Spur, 113 Blanchard St., 728-6706, spurseattle.com. Price: $14. You know how when you've trained your parrot/dog/infant to do the most adorable thing and bragged to your friends about it? Then when they show up for dinner, you trot it/he/she out and make the secret hand gesture—and it/he/she just wanders away to lick bread crumbs off the floor? That's how I feel about this pasta. I've eaten the tagliatelle at Spur a couple times now, forgetting to snap a photo for Thin Wheat Line until it's half-eaten and as photogenic as a bowl of overripe bananas. Despit...
