In [[Korean cuisine]], cold noodles are known as ''naengmyeon'' (냉면). This dish is traditionally made with long, thin noodles made from buckwheat or sweet potato starch. Naengmyeon is often served in a chilled broth, which can be made from beef, chicken, or dongchimi (a type of kimchi). The dish is typically garnished with slices of cucumber, Korean pear, boiled egg, and sometimes cold beef.

Another popular Korean cold noodle dish is ''bibim-guksu'' (비빔국수), which is a spicy mixed noodle dish. It is made with thin wheat flour noodles and mixed with a spicy gochujang-based sauce, along with vegetables such as cucumbers and carrots.

In [[Japanese cuisine]], cold noodles are often served as ''soba'' or ''somen''. ''Soba'' are thin noodles made from buckwheat flour, and they are typically served chilled with a dipping sauce called ''tsuyu''. ''Mori soba'' is a common way to serve cold soba, where the noodles are presented on a bamboo tray and accompanied by a small bowl of dipping sauce.

''Somen'' are very thin wheat noodles that are also served cold, often with a light dipping sauce. A unique way to enjoy somen is ''nagashi-somen'', where the noodles are sent down a bamboo flume with flowing water, and diners catch the noodles with chopsticks as they pass by.
