Daeyeop Live Noodle Bar

대엽라이브누들바 Daeyeop Raibeu Nudeulba Daeyeop is the restaurant brand of chef Ko Seok-hyun, seen on the TV show Culinary Class Wars; Live Noodle Bar is what this branch calls itself, and the shop describes it as a small laboratory for broth and noodles whose menu changes as the research does. Note for finding it: Daeyeop Seongsu is a SEPARATE restaurant immediately to the right of this one, with a different menu — one visitor walked into the wrong door and found the dish she came for was not on this menu.

Daeyeop Live Noodle Bar is a pyeongyang-naengmyeon house at 38 Wangsimni-ro 2-gil, six or seven minutes' walk from exit 1 of Seoul Forest station. The building next door is Daeyeop Seongsu, the same owner's other shop — the core menu is shared, this side leaning to noodles and rice soups, that side to drinking and its dishes. It belongs to a chef who appeared on the Netflix cooking show, and a sign on the wall says the place is a laboratory for broth and noodles, where the menu may change as the research does. The cold noodles are ₩13,000 and come with a small bowl of cold rice; in summer there is a pumpkin soy-milk noodle. Counter seats run along the walls, which makes it easy to eat alone, and you order from the QR code at your seat. Open daily 11:30–22:00 with a break from 15:30 to 18:00 — though those hours are new as of the summer of 2026. The sixteen posts we read run from December 2025 to September 2026.

The basics

6 posts say it is walkable from the station.

When it opens

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 people order

The prices here are what bloggers wrote down in their posts, and they may have changed since. Check Naver Place for the current menu and prices. This list is not a menu board — it counts what bloggers actually ordered and ate. Check on Naver Place

• 평양냉면10 ate it
  pyeongyang naengmyeon₩13,000 · ₩14,000

  **The dish at the centre.** Brisket broth, a high-buckwheat noodle, and **a small bowl of cold rice on the side to tip into the broth when the noodles are gone** — four writers single that out as unusual.

  Ten ordered it. **Three describe it as restrained but seasoned** — saltier than other pyeongyang naengmyeon, in a good way; broth that reads sharp until the noodles are loosened into it; a stock that nobody dislikes. Two recommend it to beginners. **Not everyone is converted**: one writer, on her second bowl, still cannot see it. Two note the noodles break cleanly. **The price is written as ₩14,000 in January and May, and ₩13,000 in July and August.**

• 만두지짐이 (2pc)8 ate it
  mandu jijimi₩4,000 · ₩5,000

  **Two pan-fried dumplings**, written as ₩4,000 in one post and ₩5,000 in another; the North Korean-style dumpling is sold singly at ₩2,000.

  Eight ordered them and **not one was disappointed.** One says plainly that they were the best thing on the table; another, who usually avoids dumplings, ate them happily; a third tells you not to skip them. **Four writers advise ordering something fried alongside the cold, plain noodles.** They come two to a plate, so a pair tends to order two plates — one table ended up with four.

• 단호박 콩국수 (여름 한정)7 ate it
  danhobak kongguksu₩14,000 · ₩15,000

  **A summer-only dish introduced in 2026, and the reason many people came.** Pumpkin in the soy broth turns it yellow, and **the noodles are not the usual wheat but the same buckwheat used for the cold noodles.**

  Seven ate it and **four arrived to find it sold out.** On the sweetness they differ: two say it needs no sugar, one added plenty anyway, one found it a touch sweet, and one thought the plain noodle and the pumpkin broth did not quite meet. A self-declared pumpkin lover came away disappointed. **It is a summer dish, and it runs out early even in summer.**

• 비빔냉면·들기름냉면3 ate it
  bibim naengmyeon₩13,000

  ₩13,000, the same as the cold broth version.

  Three ordered one or the other. One found the perilla-oil version faintly off; another took the spicy one instead of the cold broth and was glad.

• 평양 술밥·섞어술밥2 ate it
  sulbap₩15,000

  ₩15,000 — a clear rice soup topped with boiled meats: three slices each of pork and beef in one version, brisket, tripe and head meat in the other.

  Two ate it, and both had come for it. On the meat they part ways: one found the beef's fat musty where others taste depth — **her husband finished it.** The mixed version is described as bolder than the plain, and good for a hangover.

• 뽀얀 순대국밥1 ate it
  sundae gukbap₩11,000

  ₩11,000 — two posts note it is on this menu and not next door's.

  One writer ate it and two watched a neighbour eat it and made a note to come back for it. A half plate of sundae is ₩4,500.

• 수육 백반named in 3
  suyuk baekban₩14,000

  ₩14,000 — listed, but nobody we read ordered it.

Parking

2 posts say you cannot park. None say you can.

There is no car park. Two posts say so, one adding that the shop next door has space for about three cars in front — which is the neighbour's, not this one's. A writer at the neighbour calls even that cramped and points to the public car parks near Seoul Forest station. Not one of the sixteen reports actually parking. It is six or seven minutes from the station, and this is a place where you queue, which makes a parked car an awkward thing to have. Take the train.

Who came, and with whom

Getting there

Naver Map has a full English mode — Settings → Language → English. In Korea it gives better walking and transit directions than Google Maps.

Getting inside

It is at street level — not one post mentions a step or a stair. All sixteen give the address as the ground floor. But whether there is a lip at the door, how the door opens, how much room there is between the counter stools, whether a wheelchair or a pushchair could come in — nobody says. That is not a yes; it means we do not know. Most of the seating is counter stools, which is worth knowing in advance; no post says whether they have backs. One post says the lavatory is inside, in its information block, and nobody describes it further. If it matters, ring 0507-1399-1366 first.

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.

When the posts appeared

What we do not know

• People mix this place up with the one next door, and so did our sources — we moved two of the twenty-three posts to the neighbour. Daeyeop Seongsu (no. 36) and Daeyeop Live Noodle Bar (no. 38) stand side by side under near-identical signs. The writers say so themselves: one assumed the same person happened to run two shops; another walked in thinking her regular had been refurbished; a third simply could not work out the difference. Three things separate them: the street number, the telephone (…2006 for one, …1366 for this one) and the break time (15:00–17:30 next door, 15:30–18:00 here). Four writers came here only because the queue next door was too long — so some of what follows was written by people who had meant to eat somewhere else.
• Read the prices and hours here as a snapshot of the summer of 2026. The place opened at the end of 2025 — one writer describes it as the original Daeyeop expanding into the building next door, and adds that the unit had been an oden bar before (the 2023 licence date in our records appears to belong to that bar). So ten months is all there is, and in that time the opening hours changed wholesale: a 21:00 close with no break and weekends off became a 22:00 close, a new mid-afternoon break, and seven days a week. The prices move too — the cold noodles are ₩14,000 in January and May and ₩13,000 in July and August. And the restaurant itself posts a notice that the menu may change as its research does. No post declares a sponsorship and three state they paid their own way; the other thirteen say neither, which is not the same as taking nothing.
• It is at street level and visible from the pavement. All sixteen posts give the ground floor; none mentions stairs or a basement. But it stands shoulder to shoulder with its sibling, so read the sign before you walk in — one writer says the two signs are almost impossible to tell apart, and another spells it out: the noodle bar is on the left, Daeyeop on the right. A third noticed the name 'Daeyeop Seongsu' on both buildings. This one carries 'Live Noodle Bar' above the door and a board out front describing itself as a place that studies noodles and broth.
