This is a not foreigner friendly restaurant so avoid it and go to another cold noodles shop you will find plenty of good ones around Seoul ! I’m really disappointed with this restaurant. I’ve been a regular visitor with my mom for over 10 years and it’s sad to see how they are turning really bad and especially since I visited alone and my Korean isn’t well. One of the staff was so rude and insisted I’m Chinese or Japanese and talked to me in their language even though I clearly told her I’m not both till I told her where am I from and she’s not getting it as if I’m an alien. The other staff stood there doing nothing and at least one of them staff came and told me the price and I gave it to her. After I finished my meal she asked me where am I from and told her my Korean isn’t perfect but I do understand a little if you were not rude. But I saw this rude staff how she’s dealing with the other Korean customers and she’s pushy and as if someone forced her to work. I don’t see how this restaurant is still keep the Michelin star and with this attitude to any customer they will lose many regular ones including me. Also the noodles weren’t good and lacked many things and because I wasn’t disturbed by the rude staff I should’ve just left but I wanted to give them one last shot and they proved me wrong.
this is famous restaurant of noodles.
but I didn't really like in taste. It may be because of "Fe"

The restaurant has been since year 1953, specializing in cold noodles in North Korea, Hamheung style.
It has been listed on Michelin Guide in year 2017-18 and 2020-2023 and it was also introduced from the famous TV programs like, "Is it your first time to visit Korea?"
Cold or Spicy buckwheat noodles with sliced beef (14K KRW): The noodles are not so much tough and have proper good chewy texture. The broth is savory and it is good to get refill in the Kettle for cold broth and hot broth separately.
Price at 14K may look expensive but the taste is worth the price.
Steamed Large Dumplings (10K): It may not be extra special but tasty with the inside full with meat and vegetables.

Service was fast, they have 2 shops now that’s really close to one another. Get the raw fish cold noodles (회 냉면) and also the regular soup beef cold noodles (물 냉면)
Ham Heung Nang Myun restaurant since 1953.
one of the oldest restaurant in Seoul and registered on Michelin guide too.
valet parking is available, if not you can use public parking lot near there. Nang Myun taste is good to visit again and need to wait in a que. but not a long time, will go inside soon.

Service was fast. Ordered the spicy fish naemyeon and cold beef noodles. The dumplings are fantastic. They have English menu.
The spicy buckwheat noodle with sliced beef was good.The cold buckwheat noodle with raw fish, the fish have a bone it's quite chewy. They provide a soup pot, it's a beef broth, Korean people drink this soup after had dried noodles. The soup taste good. They said if you added all the sauce in the table ( sugar, vinegar, mustard, Chili paste) you will get some different taste. They do have a self-order machine also.
We went out of our ordinary route and comfort zone to give this place a try based on decent reviews. Average.
Overall, not a bad place to eat nangmyun (Korean cold noodles) if you're in the area.
Before I go any further, however, a quick tid bit on nangmyun: Two types - (1) "Hamheung" nangmyun noodles are VERY chewy, but that's the attraction and (2) "Pyeongyang" nangmyun noodles are much SOFTER.
Pros:
- very quick service (food comes out within few minutes)
- simple, one side dish (radish) that's fresh
- decent tasting hway (raw fish) nangmyun
- very good steamed dumplings
- decent parking space/guide in front
Cons:
- a bit off the beaten track so not easy to grab a cab, but a bus station is about a 10 min walk
- they rush you a bit to order
- average taste
