I ordered the Pyongyang buckwheat noodles! They came within minutes and were very tasty. First time trying North Korean food, which was interesting! Easy to find and a nice atmosphere. It’s been open since 1946!

Absolutely superb noodles! The balance of firmness and chewiness was perfect 👌, and its nuttiness was fantastic 💥 The broth had so many layers of flavour with slightly ligering umami. I didn't need any extra seasoning. It was extremely busy and high turnovers, but the staff were pretty attentive and prompt.

Michelin star Korean beef BBQ. Taste are so good. I used to be here 13 years ago and taste are the same. Bulgogi here is my favorite. You have to get the cue from the register box in front of the restaurant by using Korean phone number or if you do not have please go inside to tell the staffs for the cue. Avoid peak time is better chance to get the table. Seating area are big so it do not took so long for waiting. Serving are also quick. English menu are available. Credit card accepted. Enjoy !

Not very good.

Definitely overpriced and quality average...when considered a Michelin recommended spot. :/

This is favorite naengmyeon restaurant. I actually think I started liking naengmyeon because of Woo Lae Oak. It used to be busy but not as crowded as now. Food is still pretty good but with 90 min waits, I’m not sure if it’s worth it. Food is not as good as I remembered and it takes so much investment- 3+ hours to get there, take the number (there were about 100 more people in front of 3 of us), wait, and eat. When I travel, I also go to restaurants like this. But this style of naengmyeon is a bit of acquired taste even for Koreans. Some think it lacks favor. So if it’s your first few times of trying it, I would prioritize eating other Korean food and experience over investing 3+ hours here.  In all honesty, it’s not worth it for me either.
