About
Old-style jjajang and generous seafood jjamppong in a spacious basement hall at Baejae Building.
A spoonful of Yu-mi jjajang here is more savoury and nutty than sweet, with finely minced meat and vegetables tucked into the thick black-bean sauce. Baejae Banjeom sits in the basement of Baejae Building, in an old-school dining hall with a low ceiling and enough room for larger parties. It feels built for office lunches and reunions rather than a quiet, lingering meal. For noodles, the samseon jjamppong (삼선짬뽕, ₩10,000) comes in a generous portion, with seafood in a rich, spicy broth; some diners find it salty. Yu-mi jjajang (유미짜장, ₩8,000) is the gentler, nutty option. Ganjang jjajang (간짜장면, ₩9,000) has freshly fried, thick sauce with a strong chunjang aroma and chewy noodles, though its saltiness is also noted. If you’re sharing, tangsuyuk (탕수육, ₩27,000) brings crisp batter, thick pieces of meat and a sweet-sour sauce. Vinegar and chilli flakes sit on the tables. Service is often described as quick, and many visits have little or no wait, though lunch crowds do come through. The restaurant serves from 11:00 to 21:00, with a 15:00–17:00 break; it is closed Saturdays. Local posts mention group rooms and phone reservations, so call ahead for a larger party. There is no building parking; use transit or a nearby paid lot. This suits a group that wants familiar Korean-Chinese dishes in a roomy, practical setting, or a solo diner after a substantial noodle lunch. Go with measured expectations: reviews are mixed on consistency, and some report declining quality or staff urging groups to add dishes. The jjajang can also run salty, so the plainer Yu-mi version is a sensible first order.
