The Best Korean Cold Noodles in Toronto

Naengmyeon, or Korean cold noodles, are one of the most popular dishes that only come around seasonally in the city. The dish comprises cold thin noodles (normally buckwheat or potato here in Toronto) and is served in a bowl of chilly broth, typically beef. It is traditionally served with slices of beef, radish, cucumber and a hardboiled egg. You can also have it spicy or with kimchi. It's the ideal dish for hot and muggy days like what we get here in Toronto during the summer.

Here are some of the best Korean cold noodles in Toronto.

This simple little spot in Koreatown offers quite possibly the best cold noodles in the entire city. The portions are fantastic, as is the price. Be sure to get a cold noodle combo and get something extra like their kalbi too.

Myungdong Kalguksu

Known for its massive Korean dumplings, this place also does a fantastic cold noodle that may be some of the best outside the core. One unique take on the cold noodle is their cold soybean noodle soup that offers a bit of creaminess to the dish.

This spot in Koreatown does the classic dish well, but the kicker here is that they also add a slice of watermelon for that extra dash of summer.
