About
Casual Chinese-Korean noodles, including ₩6,000 jajangmyeon and a half-jjamppong, half-jajangmyeon bowl.
The 짬짜면 (jjamjjamyeon) solves a familiar problem in one bowl: half jajangmyeon, half jjamppong, so you get glossy, sweet-heavy black-bean sauce alongside a spicy noodle soup. It is a popular basic order here and costs ₩9,000. The separate 짜장면 (jajangmyeon), at ₩6,000, comes with sauce reviewers describe as generous with vegetables and meat. For a smoky edge, try the jjamppong; its broth gets praise for wok flavor and a generous portion, though some diners find it bland. 탕수육 (tangsuyuk), crisp battered pork with sweet-sour sauce, is also praised, but reports on its texture are inconsistent. The retro menu board and homely storefront set a casual tone. There is seating in the hall, and solo diners are among the regular crowd; families and groups also come, with reservations mentioned for parties. Expect a wait after ordering when it is busy, and a somewhat chaotic room at full stretch. The catalog lists service from 10:30 to 20:30 every day except Wednesday, when the restaurant is closed; one review says it can close early, so avoid cutting it close. Cash payment is noted, and delivery is reported to cost more than eating in. This is a practical stop for an inexpensive noodle meal, especially if you want to eat alone or share a few dishes. Keep expectations measured: reviewers flag uneven cooking, occasional saltiness and concerns about cleanliness, alongside the strong value and large portions. English-language information is limited, so having your order ready in Korean or showing the menu item may make ordering easier.
