About
Octopus-and-abalone jjamppong and crisp-battered sweet-and-sour pork in a spacious River Tower dining room
Chunks of octopus in a red, seafood-rich broth are the calling card here. Yangjagang’s octopus-and-abalone jjamppong (문어전복짬뽕) arrives with chewy noodles and a hearty, spicy soup; at ₩17,000, it is the clearest single-diner order if you want to see what the kitchen does well. The room is in the basement of River Tower, but the food is comfortably familiar Korean-Chinese cooking rather than a performance piece. For the table, order sweet-and-sour pork (탕수육): reviewers describe thick, tender meat under a thin, crisp batter, with the sweet-sour sauce alongside. The small serving is ₩25,000. Cream shrimp (크림중새우), ₩36,000 for a small portion, is another dish people single out. The jjamppong broth is praised for its clear seafood flavor and springy noodles; gan-jjajang, with fresh onion and rich chunjang sauce, also has its fans, though some find the onion limp or the dish salty. Fried dumplings and larger shared dishes are also on the menu. Find the restaurant on B1 of River Tower, near the 63 Building. It opens daily from 11:00 to 21:30, and building basement parking is available. Many visitors walk in without a booking; there are plenty of seats, and waiting is not commonly reported. Order from the touch pad at your table, which makes a group meal straightforward, though an English menu is not mentioned in visitor reports. The spacious, orderly dining room suits families, office lunches and group dinners, and course menus are available. Go for a generous, uncomplicated meal with company, especially if jjamppong or sweet-and-sour pork is the point. Keep expectations measured on service: reports range from friendly staff to dismissive encounters, and one visitor describes confusion over a bill. Some dishes can also run salty, so this is not the place to assume every plate will land evenly.
