Goyang XYM Hotel

This local haunt has been an integral part of Samcheong-dong’s history since 1982. The signature dish here is sujebi — rustic hand-pulled dough soup served in a savory anchovy broth. The restaurant is also known for its potato pancakes, made with grated potatoes that are pan-fried until crispy on the outside and pleasantly chewy on the inside. Avoid the lunch rush if you don’t want to stand in line, but be warned — the restaurant is always busy.
