🔥𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒍𝒚 the 𝑩𝑬𝑺𝑻 𝑴𝑬𝑨𝑳 I had in Korea!! 🇰🇷🤤
👋🏻 Previously I shared why you should visit Gangneung, and also my new favourite buckwheat noodles in sg… but THIS is the real reason behind it all 👀✨
My top reason for going to Gangneung and my constant cravings for buckwheat noodles is all because of this restaurant we randomly found there! I swear it was the BEST meal I had during my trip to South Korea! 💯 Even till now, I still crave that exact buckwheat noodles and truffle potato pancake 🤤🤤
This place was honestly such a lucky find. 🍀 We were just searching for lunch on Naver and came across it. They specialise in buckwheat noodles, and their signature is the abalone perilla oil version!

This was so goodddd!! Omg it’s literally the best buckwheat noodles I have ever eaten before! The flavour was so rich and fragrant, my friend and I were actually speechless after the first bite! 😭

Also SO GOOD. Crispy, savoury, and just super addictive. I would 100% order this again!
And can I just say… the staff were the sweetest!! 🥹
When they found out we were visiting from overseas, they gave us free dessert and wished us a good trip. Such a small gesture but it made the experience even more special! 🥰
Overall, we loved this place SO much. I would literally go back to Gangneung just for this meal again 💯✨

If you’re planning a visit to Gangneung, I highly recommend adding Chowoodang to your must-visit list. This cozy restaurant specializes in buckwheat noodles, and their abalone perilla oil version is an absolute standout. The rich, fragrant broth and freshly made noodles create a perfect harmony of flavors that left me craving more even after returning home. In addition to the noodles, the truffle potato pancake deserves a special mention. Lightly crispy on the outside yet soft on the inside, its subtle truffle aroma adds a luxurious twist to a traditional Korean dish. Paired together, these offerings make an unforgettable meal. One of the most charming parts of my visit was the staff’s warm hospitality. When they learned we were visiting from overseas, they generously offered a free dessert, which made the dining experience feel personal and heartfelt. For those who want to explore authentic Korean flavors beyond the usual tourist spots, Chowoodang offers a delicious, authentic taste of Gangneung’s culinary culture. Don’t forget to look it up on Naver for exact location details—156 Chodang-dong Gangneung-si, Gangwon-do. Visiting Chowoodang not only satisfies your hunger but also gives you a lovely glimpse into Korea’s welcoming food culture.
