About
Chili jjajang with crisp onion and pork, plus spicy sweet-sour tangsuyuk in a nostalgic Chinese-Korean restaurant.
The gochu gan-jjajang (고추간짜장) arrives with its sauce already poured over the noodles, not served on the side. Onion and pork sit in a lightly oily, sweet-salty chunjang sauce, with crisp vegetables and noodles that reviewers describe as light. The chili brings some heat, though not always much; a few diners find the dish greasy or its sauce bland. At ₩8,500, it is the clearest place to start if you want to see what this long-running Chinese-Korean restaurant does well. For the table, add the small spicy tangsuyuk (매운맛탕수육, ₩17,000): crisp-coated, chewy pork stir-fried in a red sauce with peppers and onion. The sauce leans sour rather than sweet, which some people enjoy and others find too sharp; the coating can also seem hard. If that sounds like too much, the menu also lists old-fashioned jjamppong (옛날짬뽕, ₩8,500), fried rice and dumplings. Reviewers describe the food overall as salty-sweet and not especially intense. Portions get mixed comments, so consider sharing the tangsuyuk rather than treating the small size as a full meal for several people. Jeong has the comfortable, worn-in feel of an old neighborhood Chinese restaurant, with tables and some floor seating. Students and local families, friends and couples come through; service is noted as friendly, and food arrives quickly at meal times. It is open 11:00–14:30 and 16:30–21:00 Tuesday through Sunday, and closed Monday. Avoid arriving during the afternoon break; reviewers suggest going before or after it to reduce the chance of waiting. There is no on-site parking, though public lots are nearby. This suits a casual meal with someone happy to share a couple of dishes, but the chili and the tangsuyuk’s sour sauce are not perfectly predictable.
