Noodle house
Jalbbajin Memil, Euljiro Jigyeong-jeom
잘빠진메밀 을지로직영점 The Euljiro branch of a buckwheat-noodle chain that started in Seochon in 2014, where the dough is mixed each morning and the date posted on the door, the noodles come four ways including a white-soybean version sold only here, and the glass front folds open onto the lane at night.
Data as of · Published ·
Jalbbajin Memil's Euljiro branch is a 100% buckwheat noodle house just inside the lane from exit 2 at Euljiro 4-ga. It is the third company-run branch of a business that began in Seochon in 2014, and the noodles come four ways — in broth, dressed in chilli, in perilla oil, or in a white-soybean sauce that two writers say is served only here. The dough is made fresh each day and the date is posted on the door. At lunch it feeds the offices around it; in the evening it turns into somewhere to drink, with boiled pork, pancakes and twenty-odd traditional spirits, sold by the glass as well as the bottle. Eleven to half past nine, with the kitchen shut from 2:20 to 5. The posts we read run from April to September 2026.

Counted from what bloggers wrote in their posts; we did not confirm it with the restaurant. Where the values differ, it may be a change over time rather than a disagreement, so we show when each one was written.

What sets it apart
- The dough is made that morning — and the date goes on the door. One writer copied the notice out as she found it on 6 July: the buckwheat you are eating today was mixed on 6 July 2026. Three others saw the same thing and record noodles pressed the same day. What the shop advertises is 100% buckwheat, and one writer reports a sign by the door claiming mastery of the form. Two say the texture is unlike the makguksu they are used to. One notes the potato pancake is grated to order as well.
- Two people can eat the same thing and pay differently here. There are several ways the bill comes down: (1) order the drinking platter and each bowl of noodles drops ₩2,000 — one bowl for two people, two for three or four; one writer paid ₩10,000 that way. (2) A discounted window at lunch, whose shape changes with the telling: ₩3,000 off (two posts), the set for the price of the bowl (one), a free upgrade (one) — and the hours differ too, weekdays 13:00–14:20 in one account and weekends 11:30–12:30 in another. (3) A receipt review earns a potato pancake — both writers who ate one got it this way and nobody records paying for it. (4) One notes a drink voucher for saving the place on a map app. So the prices we have are less a menu than a record of what each person happened to pay.
- People book. Six posts discuss it and five booked; three remark on how many time slots there are. One was shown to a table marked reserved; another booked seven in the evening and still found the room full. It is also a place for groups — one party of ten, one office dinner of five, one gathering of six. Three note that if you book a wedding-invitation gathering they lay on flowers, though all three are repeating a notice rather than reporting their own. One says a waiting app handles the queue when there is one.
- The front is a single pane of glass that folds open. Six posts talk about it — you can see in and out, and the room feels open because of it. Three say that in good weather the doors come back and it becomes an Euljiro street-drinking scene; one sat there, and one found the branch running a booking promotion around it for autumn. Four note a row of single seats along the window — though not one of the fourteen actually ate here alone. Two describe wood furniture and warm yellow light.
- It keeps being called the roomy one. Eight posts say so, and four of them say it by comparison with other branches — more space, more calm, cleaner lines than the others. Two were surprised: the lane entrance looks small and the inside is not. One counts more than fifty seats; four describe singles, pairs, fours and a group table all in the same room. One writer disagrees, calling it not especially large, just snug and tidy — and adds that she could not photograph the back because every table there was taken.
- What arrives instead of water is chilled buckwheat tea. Four posts mention it; one writer, who cannot drink bottled water, counts it a real kindness. There is a self-service counter with rice, seaweed flakes, side plates and the tea, all free — two describe it, and one helped herself to a bowl of rice in the evening because it looked so good. The standing side dishes are a fresh kimchi and pickled radish; one notes the kimchi is made with cabbage heart, crisp and faintly sweet, and one liked it enough to refill three times.

Getting there

Getting inside
| Second floor | yes 0 · no 1 (of 14 posts read) |
|---|
Not one post says whether you could get in. Across fourteen accounts there is no step, no threshold, no ramp, no wheelchair, no pushchair. One writer puts the shop on the ground floor, and nobody describes climbing anything, so it appears to be level with the lane — but what the last step into the door is like, we do not know. The front is glass that folds back, which may widen the way in on a good day, though we have not checked that either. One post mentions high chairs and children's tableware — that single line is everything written here about access.
Nobody wrote about the toilet. Across fourteen first-hand accounts, not one says whether it is inside or outside, whether it is separate for men and women, or where to find it. The fourteen posts we set aside do talk about cleanliness in general terms — tidy place settings, tables without a trace of stickiness — but those are not accounts of a visit and we have not counted them. This is not a no: it is that nobody looked.
No one mentioned: In a basement · Lift to the floor · Ramp at the door · Step at the entrance · Step-free access · Toilet inside · 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 28 posts we gathered, 14 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
- Thirty posts came in and we counted fourteen. Every number on this page has fourteen as its denominator. Between 22 and 30 September 2026, fourteen posts appeared that look to have come off one template. The titles vary a phrase at a time on the same frame — a bowl of buckwheat in an Euljiro lane, holding the quiet of an afternoon, the breath of the season. All fourteen run between 1,730 and 2,060 characters and break into the same five lyrical sub-headings. The blog addresses are random strings and the display names read as generated. Not one of the fourteen contains a price or names what was ordered. What was eaten is 'the makguksu', 'the pork' — and where one says bossam another says suyuk. No date, no time, no companion. The giveaway: in one post from 26 September, the first sub-heading is word for word the title of another post from the 25th. The template leaked. None of the fourteen declares a comped meal. They still cannot be read as anyone's account of a visit, so they are out of the denominator. Counted, they would have doubled every figure here.
- The afternoon break can cost you the trip. Nine posts put it at 2:20 to 5, one at 3 o'clock. But one writer records something sharper: told that you have to be through the door by 2:20 for the kitchen to take your order, she left the house in ten minutes and got in at 2:10. That reads as a last-admission time rather than a closing time, and hers is the only post that says so. Three split the opening between 11:00 on weekdays and 11:30 at weekends; three give 21:30 as closing but 21:00 on Sundays; two put last orders at 20:20 on weekdays and 19:50 at weekends. Not one post names a closing day — one adds only that it trades normally through the Lunar New Year and harvest holidays.
- The prices disagree. Two posts put a bowl of noodles at ₩11,000 (May 2026 and 22 September 2026) and three at ₩12,000 (10, 13 and 29 September). By date it looks like a rise, but the two figures cross inside a single month, so we could not settle it. The post that lists the most prices is written as reportage and seems to be transcribing material rather than a bill; it also contains several typos, so treat its numbers with extra care. The drinking platter is ₩28,000 in two posts and 'from ₩25,000' in that one. And with four different ways to get money off, paying the listed price turns out to be the exception rather than the rule.
- Six of the fourteen first-hand posts also read as promotion. The chain's history, the list of television programmes, the names of the food YouTubers and the current promotions repeat almost word for word across them, which suggests material handed out by the shop. We kept all six anyway, because each records what was ordered, what it cost and how it went, and because they disagree with one another: the five-spice was too strong on the pork; the set portions were teasing; a companion would not touch the broth version. Of the fourteen, one (April 2026) says outright that she came as an invited reviewer, and one insists she paid. The other twelve say nothing either way — which means nothing is written, not that nothing was given. We have not verified any of the television credits.
