Jeon So-min’s Yongsan Noodle Stop: Jinmi Sikdang’s Kongguksu and Squid Noodles
The noodles in Jeon So-min’s Yongsan episode come from two different restaurants. For the bowl in soybean broth, look for Jinmi Sikdang in Munbae-dong. The sesame chicken noodles in the same programme belong to a different stop, Kkeogeo.

What to order
Kongguksu pairs noodles with soybean broth. Ojingeo bokkeummyeon pairs noodles with stir-fried squid instead. The restaurant told the programme that the squid dish could change with the season and demand for kongguksu, so the two may not be available together.

Find the right entrance
Search for 진미식당 at 서울 용산구 문배동 33-3. Keeping the Korean name handy makes it easier to match the sign at the entrance.
Before you visit
The programme listed a weekday break from 4 to 5:30 p.m. and a shorter Sunday service. Check the current hours and which noodle dish is on offer before you go. The broadcast listing does not specify a parking entrance. If you are driving, ask the restaurant where to park when you call.
