About
Seaweed-scented jjamppong, crisp tangsuyuk and tablet ordering in a small, bright Boramae restaurant.
The seafood jjamppong arrives with a broth that reviewers describe as cloudy but clean, savory and sharp with chili; seaweed gives it a distinct note. Jinsangcheon Boramae also lists beef-brisket jjamppong (차돌박이 짬뽕, ₩9,000), while the seafood version is ₩7,500. Both suit a meal built around a hot bowl rather than a delicate soup. For the table, order tangsuyuk (탕수육), whose crisp coating gives way to tender meat. Its sweet-sour sauce and toppings are unusual here, and not everyone likes the combination, so it is the dish to share only if your group is open to a different take. Ganjjajang (간짜장, ₩8,000) comes with long-cut onion and a generous amount of meat; the sauce is sticky-sweet, though some diners find it less like a dark, bean-forward jjajang sauce than expected. The Sichuan-style Chinese fried rice (사천중화볶음밥, ₩9,000) is another good pick if you want something less soupy: reports praise its fluffy, well-fried rice, but say it is mild rather than hot. Lunch sets are also listed, from ₩23,000 to ₩26,000. The room is small, bright and quiet, with an open-kitchen feel and only a limited number of tables. Order on the tabletop tablet; hot dishes are generally reported to arrive quickly, cooked to order. It draws lunch diners as well as families and small groups, and there can be a wait when it fills. The catalog lists hours of 11:00–22:30 every day. There is no on-site parking, and the restaurant can be difficult to spot in the alley; check your map as you approach. One review mentions orders being cancelled around a break time, so confirm service before settling in if you arrive between meal periods. This is a practical choice for a casual lunch or a meal with two or three people, especially if you want jjamppong with a broth that has a little more going on than chili and seafood. It is less suited to a large company dinner: the room is tight, and the tangsuyuk sauce is a matter of taste.
