Homung Nangmyun

3/11/09 - Homung Nangmyun (Closter, NJ)

"Cold noodles! Cold noodles!" And with that plea from Ella, which we hear more than once a week, we stop on over to the best nangmyun spot around - Homung Nangmyun in Closter, NJ. In Closter, NJ? Yes! And we recommend it highly. Seriously the best nangmyun you can find anywhere - both the noodles (homemade from sweet potato) and the broth (a secret recipe with deep flavor - the kind where you don't need to add any mustard or vinegar, which is usually added at most restaurants to enhance the generic broth). Ella can finish the entire bowl. Other menu items are excellent as well, like their haemul soondubu jigae (seafood tofu stew), potato pancakes, homemade mandu (dumplings), and also their Soo Yook (sliced/assorted beef brisket with garlic & scallions). A nice bonus for mom and dad is that this is a BYO spot. We love BYO. So bring your soju/beer and enjoy the best nangmyun in the world.
