명국수 Guksu means noodles; none of the posts says what Myeong stands for.

An old noodle shop down a side street off Ttukseom-ro, a 6–10 minute walk from Seongsu Station exit 3. Anchovy-broth and spicy mixed noodles are 8,000 won, summer soy-milk noodles 13,000 won, and big steamed dumplings can be added one at a time. The only side is geotjeori kimchi served in a crock. It is a small room of four-seat tables, so at lunch there is a line and you share tables with strangers. In winter there is kalguksu. We read 30 posts from 8 December 2025 to 30 September 2026; one was about another restaurant and was set aside, and 27 describe actually eating here.

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
- Expect a line at lunch: 9 posts mention waiting. One writer gave up several times before getting in; two say the line moves fast because noodles turn over quickly. There is no sign-up sheet; four posts say the owner takes your headcount and order while you wait, so the food arrives as soon as you sit. No post gives a wait in minutes.
- Twelve posts say the portions are big; one says they have shrunk compared with before. One writer was asked by the owner whether they wanted less; another was told, "we always give a lot." There is no large-size option on the menu.
- Eight posts say the room is small. Three count six four-seat tables, one about eight. Shared tables come up again and again for solo diners and pairs; one solo diner was seated at a single table by the door.
- Six posts call it cheap for Seongsu; one says the 13,000-won soy-milk noodles feel a bit steep. One writer paid 12,000 won for a bowl plus two dumplings.

- The kimchi is sold to take home; two posts took food out — one went just for kimchi, another used to take noodles back to work.

Where it is
We could not find this shop’s own listing on Naver Map, so the link searches for its Korean name around this spot instead.
From the station
4 posts say it is walkable from the station.
Getting inside
No post mentions the floor; the address says ground floor, but nobody wrote about it.
Nobody wrote about a step at the door or getting in with a wheelchair or stroller; we only know the room is tight.
No post says where the toilet is or whether it is separated by gender.
No one mentioned: Second floor · 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 25 posts we gathered, 2 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
- Prices have changed: a June 2026 post says soy-milk noodles went from 12,000 won last year to 13,000, and a July post says the menu prices are higher than on Naver. The same July post says the kimchi pancake is gone.
- Nine posts agree on 11:00–21:00, closed Sundays, but mostly as copied info blocks. One writer was turned away by a break time, so there seems to be one, but no post says when. Last order is unknown.
- Six posts give the same phone number, 02-468-8899. Nobody says whether reservations are taken; one post says the line is walk-up only.
- The two posts about December 2025 are the same writer describing the same visit. Claims that the soybeans are ground in-house or the kimchi made daily are repeated from the shop, and we did not count them.
