It&#8217;s recommended to arrive earlier than the estimated waiting time, make a reservation via Catch Table on-site, and spend time exploring the surrounding area.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Menu Selection Guide:<\/strong> If visiting alone, we recommend the bibim-myeon (spicy mixed noodles) and dumplings. If you are with company, we recommend trying various dishes such as the half-plate of jeyuk, 5-color vegetable noodles, and Anseong noodles.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Utilize Makgeolli Vinegar:<\/strong> When ordering the 5-color vegetable noodles or Anseong noodles, choose the makgeolli vinegar. After eating about half of it, add the vinegar for a different flavor experience.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"lb-review-places-heading\">Related Areas\/Places<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"lb-review-places\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/linksboo.blog\/en\/explore\/?q=Yeongdong%20Expressway\">Yeongdong Expressway<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/linksboo.blog\/en\/explore\/?q=Seoul%20Apgujeong\">Seoul Apgujeong<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/linksboo.blog\/travel-destination\/south-korea\/seoul-special-city\/gangnam-district\/apgujeong\/\">Apgujeong<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/linksboo.blog\/travel-destination\/south-korea\/seoul-special-city\/gangnam-district\/\">Gangnam District<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/linksboo.blog\/travel-destination\/south-korea\/seoul-special-city\/\">Seoul Special City<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/linksboo.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/linkboo_11939_4.webp\" alt=\"Yeongdong Expressway \u00b7 Apgujeong\"><figcaption>Yeongdong Expressway \u00b7 Apgujeong<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Learn More from the Original<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Ingredients and Cooking Methods that Enhance Noodle Dishes<\/strong><br \/>\nThe noodles at &#8216;<a href=\"https:\/\/linksboo.blog\/en\/explore\/?q=Yeongdong Expressway\">Yeongdong Expressway<\/a>&#8216; use organic whole wheat, directly roasted mung beans, and soybeans, along with unroasted perilla oil. Furthermore, Jirisan wild vegetables are used to maximize the natural freshness and flavor of the ingredients. In particular, the 5-color vegetable noodles, with their harmony of 5 types of fresh wild vegetables and perilla oil, are excellent and also serve as a great vegan option, recommended for those who do not eat meat.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/linksboo.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/linkboo_11939_3.webp\" alt=\"Interior of Yeongdong Expressway restaurant in Apgujeong\"><figcaption>Interior of Yeongdong Expressway restaurant in Apgujeong<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Carefully Aged Jeyuk and Clean-Tasting Suyuk<\/strong><br \/>\nThe half-plate of jeyuk is made with domestic pork belly aged for 2-3 weeks and then boiled, allowing you to fully experience the natural juices. Unlike the commonly known stir-fried jeyuk, it is served in a clean, tender boiled meat (suyuk) form without any gamey smell. Dipping it in meljeot (fermented anchovy sauce) enhances its flavor, and the accompanying kimchi also has a clean taste with less salted seafood.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Charm of Various Noodle Dishes<\/strong><br \/>\nAnseong noodles are made with soy noodles, mixed with dried pollack roe, domestic minced pork, and perilla oil. The 4cm wide noodles combined with the aroma of perilla oil deliver a rich umami flavor. It will be particularly satisfying for those who prefer noodle dishes with a variety of side ingredients over those that are just noodles. After your meal, you can cleanse your palate with the broth provided at the self-serve bar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Discover Apgujeong&#8217;s Yeongdong Expressway noodle specialty restaurant, run by Chef Kim Do-yun, serving healthy dishes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":184741,"template":"","meta":[],"lb_topic":[162,161,162],"lb_month":[],"lb_year":[],"lb_location":[1403,1260,232,231],"linkboo-tag":[],"class_list":["post-12566","lb_travel","type-lb_travel","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","lb_topic-experience","lb_topic-restaurant","lb_location-apgujeong","lb_location-gangnam-district","lb_location-seoul-special-city","lb_location-south-korea"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/linksboo.blog\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/lb_travel\/12566","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/linksboo.blog\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/lb_travel"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/linksboo.blog\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/lb_travel"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/linksboo.blog\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/linksboo.blog\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/184741"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/linksboo.blog\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12566"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"lb_topic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/linksboo.blog\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/lb_topic?post=12566"},{"taxonomy":"lb_month","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/linksboo.blog\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/lb_month?post=12566"},{"taxonomy":"lb_year","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/linksboo.blog\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/lb_year?post=12566"},{"taxonomy":"lb_location","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/linksboo.blog\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/lb_location?post=12566"},{"taxonomy":"linkboo-tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/linksboo.blog\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/linkboo-tag?post=12566"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
