About
Cold seafood jjamppong with springy noodles, alongside tangsuyuk, in a small old-school neighborhood Chinese restaurant.
The cold jjamppong is the reason to come with an open mind: springy noodles sit in a chilled seafood broth that regulars compare to mulhoe, with a sour, salty edge. Some find it bracing and refreshing; others find the broth too salty or oddly bland. Gongwonjang is an old-school neighborhood Chinese restaurant with small tables, the sort of place locals visit with family, friends or a date rather than for polished service. For something hot, 삼선고추짬뽕 (spicy seafood jjamppong) brings a red, rich-tasting broth and plenty of seafood, though a few diners say theirs tasted reheated. The sweet-and-sour pork, tangsuyuk, arrives in a generous portion with crisp fried pieces; the small serving is ₩20,000. Its sauce can run too sweet, and some diners notice a pork smell beneath the batter. 삼선간짜장, a seafood-and-vegetable black bean noodle dish, has been praised for its moist sauce and costs ₩13,000. Cold jjamppong is the more distinctive order, but its sharp, salty broth is a matter of taste. The restaurant is open 10:30–20:00 Tuesday through Sunday and closed Monday. Lunch and dinner can bring waits from around 15 minutes to an hour, so come outside peak times if you are in a hurry. Side dishes are self-serve. For takeaway, reviewers report ordering and packing at the counter; delivery and phone orders are not available. Parking is listed as available, and the restaurant is a compact stop for a casual meal around the Subong Park area. Give it time if you arrive at a busy hour, and expect service to feel slow or brusque when the room fills. It suits people curious about a distinctive cold noodle soup more than anyone seeking a quiet, predictable meal.
