EDITTED: The first few times I came, I didnt want to come back but since this is the only Jjajangmyeon place in the north, we came back on the days we were craving it. We noticed every time we came back that the food is getting slowly better. Today was probably our 7th time and it was way better. There's still room for improvement, but overall the flavour is there. The breaded pork is absolutely delicious. The jjampong to our surprise had such a strong meat broth taste which was so tasty! Jjajangmyeon tasted better but I think can be changed more. I was surprised to see a boiled egg on it since usually if an egg is offered, its a fried egg, but I think they used boiled egg because they can give half to save ingredients. They were busy today which is why the service lacked a little bit, but again, when I go to a Korean restaurant, usually I am not expecting high end service, so that is okay. All in all, our whole family enjoyed the experience today.
This was my 2nd time trying Chun Jang. The 1st time, I was so disappointed by their black bean noodle, I made a promise not to come back, however, a good friend recently went and said it tasted different and the. food quality has changed. So, my husband and I gave it a try today. I must say the black bean noodle was actually not bad. The sweet and sour pork was really good! It was chewy and savoury. We were very pleasantly surprised. The jjampong though was a disappointment. Barely any seafood and the soup lacked flavor. It tasted heaby with ground peppers. The quanity was on the smaller side because my husband and I were not full after the meal. Also, they cheap out on the side dishes by giving like 4 pieces of onion at a time. San Dong Ban Jeom is my favourite black bean noodle place in Calgary still and when we order the classic combo, we have left overs because we get sooo full. Chun Jang is just closer to home, but I would still drive further to go to San Dong Ban Jeom. I hope Chun Jang can work on their food a bit more and improve and be a bit more lenient with portions.
