🍜 The Perfect Trio: Jjajangmyeon, Gan-jjajang, and Tangsuyuk at Doya!
Craving a real bowl of jjajangmyeon, I finally visited Doya, a place I’d heard rave reviews about.
And let me just say—
This isn’t just another Korean-Chinese restaurant. It’s a flavor sanctuary.
🥢 1. Jjajangmyeon – The Classic, Done Right
From the first bite, I could tell—
The noodles were alive. Chewy, bouncy, and perfectly cooked—not soggy at all.
The sauce? A rich, smoky black bean base, not overly sweet or salty, but perfectly balanced.
It reminded me of what jjajangmyeon is supposed to taste like.
Each bite was satisfying, the noodles and sauce clinging together in perfect harmony.
🍳 2. Gan-jjajang – The MVP of the Meal
My personal favorite of the day was the gan-jjajang.
Packed with umami, a hint of char from the wok, tender pork, and sweet caramelized onions—
it was love at first spoonful.
The sauce came on the side, and pouring it over the noodles felt like an elegant ritual.
If regular jjajangmyeon is the melody, gan-jjajang is the full symphony.
🥡 3. Tangsuyuk – Crispy, Juicy, Sweet-and-Sour Heaven
Now this is where Doya truly shines.
The fried pork (tangsuyuk) was mind-blowing—crispy on the outside, tender inside.
Even though the sauce was already poured on top, it didn’t get soggy. Magic?
The sauce itself was stellar—tangy, sweet, and utterly addictive.
Turns out, they change their frying oil daily—no wonder it tasted so fresh and clean.
