The Best Ramen Shop in Suwon [멘야산다이메]

멘야산다이메's New Suwon Location
2015.08.09 @ 수원 남문 [Suwon Nam-mun]

I have always raved about 멘야산다이메 [Menyasan-daime] in 홍대 [Hongdae]. It is by far my favorite restaurant in all of Korea. It's the best Japanese ramen I've had outside of Japan. One day, I was taking a walk in search of a ramen shop that was supposed to be down by 남문 [Nam-mun]. When I arrived, it was sadly shut down, but to my pleasant surprise, there was a big banner on the outside stating that there was going to be a 멘야산다이메 opening later that month. There wasn't an exact day, so my usual morning walks began to take me down that way to check on the status. It took a couple weeks, but it finally opened, and I couldn't be more pleased.

( Black Ramen is the top choice. )

How to get to the 멘야산다이메 in 수원

Suwon Station [수원역] (Seoul Subway Line 1) - Exit 1

Go out Exit 9 and follow this map. You can also take a taxi to get a little closer. Say, "Nam-mun ka-ju-se-yo." [남문 가주세요]

(The store front looks like this. )

팔달문 시장 [Paldalmun Market] in 수원 [Suwon]

팔달문 시장
2014/04/19 @ 수원 [Suwon]

After getting some good food at 화로구이, we took a little walk to 팔달문 시장 [Paldalmun Market]. It's a lot like many other traditional markets, where you see a fair amount of street food, shops with traditional clothing and herbs, and many many clothing stores. It's nice, because it's conveniently located in the middle of the fortress; from here you can easily visit the wall, chicken street, or 남문 시장 [Nam-mun Market].

( You can buy so many different kinds of dried fish. )

( Old and young people like to visit markets. )

( There's an outdoor and indoor part. )

( Roots for sale )

( All sorts of traditional teas, medicines and herbs )

( You can buy pretty much any part of the pig to eat in Korea. This one is Pig Face. )

( Just so that you can tell that it's inside 수원 화성 [Suwon Hwaseong Fortress] )

Suwon Station [수원역] (Seoul Subway Line 1) - Exit 4

My suggestion is to go out Exit 4 and hail a taxi. It would be less than 5,000won to go by taxi to Nam-mun. If it's a nice day, follow this map and go for a walk.

화로구이 - Honey Samgyeopsal [허니삼겹] within Suwon Hwaseong [수원 화성]

( 허니삼겹 )

화로구이 [Hwalo-gui]
2014/04/19 @ 수원 [Suwon]

This week, I will be focusing on Suwon. Ryan & Alyssa came out on Saturday, so we went down to the fortress for some exploring and food. This is one of the best 삼겹살 [Samgyeopsal] restaurants I've been to. The marinade the pork belly in honey, sugar & garlic. It's crazy good. If you're ever sightseeing at the fortress, walk down into 남문시장 [Nam-mun Market] for some shopping and excellent food.
