About
Basement Chinese-Korean dining room for brisket jjamppong, glossy jjajang noodles and group meals.
Red lanterns on the stairs announce Kang Seong-hwan China before you reach its basement dining room. Inside, the space opens up: tables for lunch crowds and private rooms with chandeliers for team meals give it a more practical feel than a cramped noodle shop. The menu is Chinese-Korean, with familiar bowls and larger dishes for sharing. The dish regulars point to is chadol jjamppong (차돌짬뽕, ₩12,000), a clear-looking broth with a deep, spicy-savory kick, brisket, seafood and vegetables. It is rich without feeling especially heavy, and the brisket makes it a filling choice. Jjaengban jjajang (쟁반짜장, ₩10,000) brings thick, glossy black-bean sauce clinging to the noodles, with sweetness balanced by a toasted, nutty flavor. For the table, small tangsuyuk (탕수육, ₩23,000) has crisp batter that holds up under its sweet, balanced sauce. These are the strongest bets if you are deciding quickly. The restaurant sits on B1, with an elevator in the building. Lunch is busy with office workers, so expect a livelier room at peak times; some diners also report that dishes can take a while. For a team meal, reserve a private room rather than assuming one will be free. The restaurant opens Monday to Friday from 10:30 to 21:00, with a break from 15:00 to 16:30, and is closed on Saturday and Sunday. Check the break before setting out for a late lunch. It suits colleagues, families or friends who want a filling Chinese-Korean meal and room to sit together, with several substantial dishes priced around ₩10,000–₩12,000. Service reports are mixed, including a complaint about an unfriendly cashier, so do not count on uniformly warm attention. If you are after a quiet, unhurried solo meal, avoid the weekday lunch rush.
