면장수 고령점 A noodle house in Goryeong that pulls its own noodles behind glass
Data as of · Published ·
Myeonjangsu Goryeong is a noodle house on Wangneung-ro in Daegaya-eup, between the Daegaya market and the county office. It pulls its own noodles in a glassed-in room you can see into from the floor — kalguksu, janchi-guksu and soy-milk noodles, plus cold noodles, stone-pot bibimbap and bulgogi, and a set that pairs boiled pork with a bowl of noodles, which is what most people order. It is the Goryeong branch of a chain, opened around 2024 in what had been a coffee shop. A large car park of its own, a self-service bar where rice and side dishes cost nothing, and a kiosk on every table: that is the shape of the place. It closes on Tuesdays — unless that Tuesday is a Goryeong market day, the 4th or the 9th, in which case it opens and closes the Monday instead. The posts we read run from November 2024 to September 2026.

The values differ, but the periods they were written in do not overlap. This looks like a change over time rather than a disagreement, and the top row is the most recently reported. We did not confirm it with the restaurant.
These hours are counted from the posts we read. Shops change them without notice — check Naver Place before you go.

What sets it apart
- The self-service bar is the spine of the place. Seventeen of twenty-two write about it, and they write about it the same way: kimchi and a watery young-radish kimchi, leaves to wrap with, chillies, onion and garlic, taken in whatever quantity — and a rice cooker at one end whose rice costs nothing, however much of it you take. One writer puts the value of that plainly: asking for more rice is no great thing, but it is one more errand when the room is full or you have a child to mind. Plates and spare bowls sit alongside, and by one account a coffee machine and a water dispenser too. The side dish named most often is the watery radish kimchi — six people single it out, for being mild, and cold, and the best thing on the tray.
- There is a room for making the noodles, and it is glassed so you can watch. Five writers mention it, one down to the sacks of flour stacked inside. One says the cooking line itself opens onto the room and is worth watching; another came upon the noodle room on the way to the toilet. Almost no post about this place omits the fact that the noodles are made here — eight describe them as springy or chewy. The claim that the dough is mixed and the stock set before dawn each day, though, is repeated from the shop; nobody watched it happen.
- Eight posts came with children. Three mention the high chairs, one that aprons come with them. The fullest account is from a family with a seventeen-month-old — people who had just walked out of another restaurant that could not warm a jar of baby food. Here they asked three things at the door: the local gift vouchers, a high chair, a microwave. All three, yes. And while they went back to the car for the rest of the family, the owner had already set the high chair out. Another writer was put in a partitioned room and was glad of it with a child along. The dish ordered for children more than any other is the plain janchi-guksu.
- Coffee after the meal costs nothing. Five posts note the machine standing by the self-service bar, to help yourself from. One writer says it saves the trip to a café afterwards; a traveller passing through records only that the americano at the end was good. That matters more here than it might elsewhere: another post, on the same trip, complains that in a county of thirty thousand people a café is a needle in a haystack.
- There are seats out of the main room, and six posts mention them under six different names: partitioned, separated, private at the back, independent, a group table, a good arrangement of rooms. Nobody says how many they seat, or whether they have doors. A family with a child and a party of friends were both glad of them, and one of the latter records ringing the day before to book and order at once, so that nothing had to be waited for.
- At lunch, and on market days, you wait. Three posts record a queue and all three came in the middle of the day. One arrived around one on a hot market day and passes on the mechanism: write your phone number on the waiting list and they ring you. Another waited but not long, the tables turning quickly; a third notes chairs set inside for waiting. Four more posts that do not use the word still describe a full room — one got the last table by minutes. The Goryeong market falls on the 4th and the 9th.
- It is a chain branch, and two writers say so squarely. One admits to wondering why a chain was this busy, and to understanding it after eating. The other calls it not somewhere remarkable but a franchise that does the job — and does not mean it as a complaint, going on to say it was the right choice for the day they were having. A third finds the kalguksu ordinary. What is recorded here was eaten at this branch and nowhere else — though there is one passing claim that branches differ, that some do not serve the cold noodles, and it comes from a promotional post we left out of the count.
- A receipt from lunch has served as a ticket to the Daegaya arboretum. Two posts record it independently: a family at the Christmas light festival in December 2025 got all three of them in free by showing what they had spent here, and a family in June 2026 had a ₩5,000 admission waived the same way. "Just as well we ate first," one of them writes. Whether it still runs we could not check — the same post mentions the arboretum closing for the summer, and nobody says whether the arrangement is seasonal or standing.
- You order from a screen at the table. Nine posts mention it, splitting between calling it a kiosk and calling it a tablet; four describe one sitting on every table. One is glad of being able to take their time over it without flagging down a busy room; another notes the screen also tells you where the toilet and the wifi are. A line about older customers finding it awkward does exist, but it belongs to the review-roundup post we set aside, so we have not counted it — none of the twenty-two who actually went reports any trouble with it.
- Nobody calls it expensive. Of the nine posts that discuss money, four say the opposite — one is pleased that cold noodles come to ₩6,500, and one counts it good value that ₩1,500 on top of the one-person bossam set swaps the noodles for a stone-pot bibimbap. Only eight dishes have a price recorded at all; for the rest, nobody wrote one down. Across two years exactly one dish is shown to have gone up: the house kalguksu, by ₩500. The janchi-guksu is ₩6,500 in June 2025, September 2025 and June 2026 alike. The sets cannot be compared — ₩13,500 for one person and ₩28,000 for two come from different years and are not the same thing priced twice.
- Four writers say they had been before. One has lost count of the visits; one, within a single post, ate the cold noodles one week and came back days later for the hot kalguksu. A third liked the stone-pot bibimbap enough to order it again the next month, on another trip out for work; a family stopping in before the arboretum call it a place they already liked. Only one writer states plainly that it was a first visit. Six more say they mean to return, and that is an intention, not a visit — we have not counted the two as one thing.
- Six posts say the portions are large. One, ordering janchi-guksu for a child, is startled by the size of it; one pair ordered three dishes between two and left food; one photographs the regular and the large bowl together and finds them identical on top and nothing alike beneath. Nobody says there was too little. One writer does leave a warning pointing the other way: if you are a small eater, do not take the set. And several note that with free rice on the bar, running short is not a risk here.

Parking is the reason people give most often for choosing this place. Fourteen write about it, six of them to say it is large: the lot is the restaurant's own, beside and in front of the building. Two found it full at lunch, both got in anyway, and one records it half-empty again by two. One writer alone dissents — there is a single way in and out, and it is narrow, and that made it awkward. Nobody else describes the entrance, so how awkward we cannot say. As one post puts it, in a place where everyone arrives by car, the car park is part of the meal.

Getting there
Getting inside
| Toilet inside | 2 of 22 posts |
|---|
No post says what floor it is on. Two mention that the building used to be a coffee shop, and several remark on the high ceiling and the size of the room, but not one says whether you walk in on the level or climb to it, or how the car park meets the door.
Not one post says whether a wheelchair or a pushchair gets through the door. Nobody looked for a step or a ramp. One post does mention pushchairs, but that is the arboretum in the same write-up lending them out, not this restaurant. Three note the high chairs and one brought a seventeen-month-old, so it is plainly a place people bring children — but that is not an answer about wheels.
One post carries the line "separate men's and women's toilets", and we did not count it. It sits in a run — "groups welcome, separate toilets, parking" — that looks copied wholesale from the Naver listing, and we cannot tell whether that writer saw a door. The very next line of the same post is their own: the car park is big and, above all, the toilet was clean. That, we counted. Three people write about the toilet from having used it, all to say it was clean, and two of those establish it is indoors — one only incidentally, by noting the noodle room they passed on the way to it. Nobody counted the stalls, and nobody confirmed the men's and women's are separate.
No one mentioned: Second floor · In a basement · Lift to the floor · Ramp at the door · Step at the entrance · Step-free access · Accessible toilet · Separate restrooms. That is not the same as there being none — it means we could not confirm it. Worth calling ahead, and do tell us: we will put it here.

Posts that followed a TV spot
Of the 26 posts we gathered, 4 went up on a single day right after a TV spot and show no sign of a visit. They retell the broadcast, so we left them out of the counts.
We do not discard them. That a TV spot produced a burst of posts is itself something worth knowing about a place, and a star rating will not show it.

What we do not know
- We count twenty-two posts, not thirty. Eight of the thirty we had were set aside. Four were not about this restaurant: a write-up of the children's science centre that mentions it only in a closing line of links — and whose author wrote the visit up separately, so counting both would have counted one meal twice — a festival guide listing seven restaurants, a scraped "ten best in Goryeong" ranking, and a diary of photographs carrying the check-in but not a word about the place. Four more we could not treat as visits: one is a synthesis of other people's reviews with the instruction to its writer still sitting in the text ("phrased this way it reads naturally on a blog"); one recommends dishes without ever saying what was ordered, what it cost, or for how many; and two are promotional posts filed under "introducing Goryeong" by a local tyre shop's blog. The remaining twenty-two were written by sixteen people. Not one declares a sponsorship, and three state they paid their own way — though one is the county's official blog and another a participant in a county-run workation, so two carry the local government behind them without saying so.
- Nobody writes about getting here by bus or train. Fourteen of the twenty-two discuss parking and four say outright that they drove, but not one line names a stop, or counts the walk from the bus terminal. The nearest anyone comes is to say it sits conveniently between the Daegaya market and the tombs, or close to the county office. How you would reach it without a car, we do not know.
