Soyon Noodles: A Hidden Gem for Hot Noodles 🍜✨

 Soyon
Samseong District, Seoul

Tucked away behind the busy streets near COEX and towering commercial buildings, Soyon Noodles feels like a hidden gem quietly tucked behind the city’s contemporary scene. The space is actually a converted house, giving it a warm, homey atmosphere rather than the polished vibe of most urban restaurants. Their specialty is hot noodles, and I can confidently say they serve some of the best I’ve had.

I always go for the set menu, which is the perfect way to sample the highlights without having to choose just one dish. Every visit reminds me why I keep coming back. One true standout is their 깻잎반찬 (perilla leaf side dish) — easily the best I’ve ever had anywhere. So flavorful and perfectly seasoned, I can’t help but ask for multiple refills each time.

This place may be hidden, but once you find it, it becomes the kind of spot you want to return to again and again.
