Korea’s Cold Noodle Soup

The noodle soups served at our Seattle Korean restaurant come in both hot and cold variations, so you can choose a soup perfect for any season. Cold noodle soups, called naengmyeon, are made with an iced broth and long handmade noodles made from starch. Most Old Village cold noodle soups are made with flour or the starches of buckwheat, potatoes, and yam.

Cold noodle soup was a popular dish in Northern Korea, but following the Korean War, South Koreans too adopted the delicacy. Today, cold noodle soup has gained popularity worldwide and Old Village brings you a wide selection of naengmyeon. The long noodles traditionally symbolized longevity, so some still choose to not cut the noodles as they eat.
