Heard about how good their jjajangmyun was and I had to try it out. I arrived shortly after 5p just after they opened their doors for dinner. I ordered the sweet and sour pork which came out first and it tasted pleasantly well but not amazing. I also wanted to try the spicy fried shrimp but I didn’t want to order too much food and not finish it (I should’ve just ordered it.) The main dish was the jjajangmyun and it did not disappoint. The sauce was pretty tasty but to me the noodles were the real showstopper.

Everything here was really solid. 8/10 across the board. Korean-Chinese food is one of my favorite cuisines, so I feel like my standards for judging are a little higher than usual. This place hits the spot, but nothing really stood out to me spectacularly. Feels like a comfort place that I’d go to regularly on my way home from work or something.

Nestled in a side street of an older part of Hongdae, this small Korean-Chinese restaurant offers affordable dishes and fast service. Jjajangmyeon was tasty, with a glossy black bean sauce. The dumplings were extra crispy. Like most Korea-Chinese restaurants, the banchan offering was light compared to your standard Korean eatery. Wouldn’t travel across town to eat here, but if you’re in the area a visit is worth considering.

We had to wait a long time for a table of five and there isn’t a lot of waiting space but once we sat our food came out really fast. Have to admit it’s pretty comparable to food in ktown in LA, but it was still tasty.

The owner and staff are really nice! They also speak Mandarin and made great recommendations for us. Their food is fresh and not frozen (including the delicious and crispy chicken)! We had dumplings, zhajiangmian and Kung Pao chicken (don’t worry, it’s WAY better than any American Kung Pao Chicken!) This is the REAL DEAL!

The best Jajangmyun in Korea rich savory without too much sweetness! The other menus are also good as well

The restaurant has great tasting 짜장면 and 탕수육. The place has moderate priced dishes. A good place to enjoy chinese food and it's real close to my shack!

Amazing Korean-styled Chinese restaurant. Located at one of the older, yet hipster areas around Hongdae, this place offers tasteful dishes like 짜장면, 짬뽕, and fried rice. Reasonable prices add to the satisfactiory taste.
