Naeho Naengmyeon
내호냉면
A century-old restaurant regarded as one of the birthplaces of Busan milmyeon, hidden in an alley in Uam-dong and now run by the fourth generation.
The restaurant's history dates back to a noodle shop in the northern part of the Korean Peninsula in 1919. During the war, the founder fled south and opened a shop in Uam-dong, Busan, using relief flour and sweet potato starch to make noodles, which became one of the origins of milmyeon (wheat noodles). The restaurant's name is derived from the founder's hometown, Naeho-ri in Heungnam. It still operates in the same neighborhood today, now in its fourth generation, featuring a beef bone broth base paired with raw skate slices. Milmyeon is about 9,000 KRW, mixed noodles (bibim milmyeon) are about 9,500 KRW, and they also serve cold noodles and mandu (dumplings). It gets crowded during lunch and hot weather. The shop is in a narrow alley with only about 4 parking spaces, so taking a bus or taxi is recommended.
