Recommendations
"The noodles were cool and lyrical, taut and strandy on the tongue: it was like eating a poem."
"Okryu, the most famous restaurant in North Korea, is a faux-traditional structure on the riverside that’s famed for its cold noodles and very popular with locals."
"Famed for its cold noodles and very popular with locals. For this reason it’s not usually on the schedule for groups, but you may get lucky."
"Sample the Pyongyang delicacy of Naengmyeon (cold noodles). 200g of cold black noodles (made from a combination of arrowroot, buckwheat and potato) are topped with every kind of protein you can imagine and served on a huge gold chalice."
