"Myung Dong Kyoja’s large dining room is filled with a mix of large groups of coworkers, tables full of old friends glaring at each other, and solo lunchers just trying to find some peace. And everyone’s eating noodle soup. When it’s hot out, try the spicy cold, chewy wheat noodles mixed in a spicy sauce with vegetables, but when you need some comfort, get the kalguksu with ground chicken, and pork dumplings in a thick chicken broth." - brant cox, nikko duren, sylvio martins
