The name of Hyangho Myeonok, located in the northernmost part of Gangneung City, where the fragrant smell of the sea and beautiful scenery are in harmony, is derived from the name of Hyangho Village in Jumunjin, the hometown of CEO Lee Ki-chang's father.

At Hyangho Myeonok, based on the management philosophy of ‘taste and price are competitive,’ all ingredients are airlifted from domestic production areas, and noodles are cooked with a noodle machine immediately after ordering. As for the dumplings, the mother, who has a Korean cooking license, prepares only the amount she will use daily every morning. Vegetables and red pepper powder are purchased directly from Garak Market daily, and the fresh kimchi is also made with domestic ingredients daily. Lee Ki-chang, the second-generation CEO, has taken over and is running the restaurant where his parents have worked hard. Barley rice is provided as a service with the hope that it would be nice if even a single guest could eat to the fullest.

Hyangho Myeonok's dumplings and noodles, made every morning with customers in mind, are becoming local specialties through word of mouth.
