My wife and I on vacation in Gwangnali Beach in Busan ate there last night and it was amazing! Excellent black yakisoba noodles with a mellow merinade. This is a pretty good dish for people who are diabetic or pre-diabetic, IMHO. (Not an issue for me at this time.) It's a fairly light, yet nutritious meal. Buckwheat noodles are very much under-rated. I highly recommend it. It's usually served with pork (bacon). I asked if they could exchange beef instead of pork. I need to learn how to cok it up at home. In addition, a very nice view of the beach and bridge.

All this time in Korea and you've only just now discovered naengmyeon? And in a Japanese restaurant of all places?
I could never bring myself to go into the Homers. The hotel was originally named Hermes but was sued and oddly went with Homers thinking what? Just can't do it, at least not with a straight face.

that photo looks much more like a stir fry than naegmyeon. no broth, totally different vegetables, and probably served hot. also, aren't rice noodles used in naegmyeon?

Yeah, you're right, it does look stir-fried now that you mention it. The pics a little blurry so it looked like some broth in there. Naengmyeon is buckwheat though, rice noodles would never be chewy enough.

wow. i thought they were the same as in jap che, but when you mention the texture that completely makes sense.

Thanks for the response. First of all, I really don't like cold noodles. Yakisoba are a very different texture and the buckwheat kind are very hard to find.
This is a stirt fry and I really enjoyed it! I much prefer japanese noodles, in comparison to Korean noodles.
