Busanjin-gu · Gaegeum-dong / Cold wheat noodles
개금밀면
Tucked in a residential corner of Busanjin-gu, this is the neighborhood milmyeon shop locals point to when explaining the dish's roots rather than its tourist-facing versions. The broth is built on chicken stock steeped with medicinal herbs, giving it a deeper edge than the usual beef-broth milmyeon.
