"Zzamong is a Korean-Chinese restaurant in Koreatown that’s great for a quick, affordable lunch. The star here is the jjajangmyun, a comforting noodle dish topped with thick, savory-sweet black bean paste with diced pork and vegetables, plus pickled radish and raw onion on the side. A single order is a lot of food for $10 (you’ll have enough leftovers for a second meal), and the combo set with jjajangmyun is a bargain as well. Zzamong’s cheeky spice levels range from “I’m a whimp” to “See you on the other side,” but oddly, even the mid-range “Burning!” is tolerable. If you’re with a group, fill out your table with other Korean-Chinese staples like their crispy sweet and sour pork and pleasantly salty mongolian beef." - Brant Cox

First time coming here from Houston and the gentleman that was helping us made the experience amazing! Absolutely love the Black Bean noodles from here along with the Sweet and Sour Pork, the service was top tier like no other and my girlfriend and I felt like we were welcomed with open arms! The gentleman helping us was entertaining and was also super nice! This easily became our new go to spot whenever we visit LA for some Jjajangmyun. Thank you again for the hospitality!!!

Located in Koreatown in LA, Zzamong is a great spot to enjoy traditional Korean food. The dishes are flavorful and authentic, and the service is always friendly. Plus, the prices are very reasonable, making it an excellent choice for a casual meal. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to experience true Korean cuisine!

I am new to the Korean Chinesw food genre. It is my first time trying it. Jjiangmyun is this thick noodles with black sauce. The noodles reminds me of the tsukemen noodles I had in Japanese restaurant. I was expecting the sauce to bw salty, but it was so well balanced.. I loved it! $13 for a combo of Jjangmyun, sweet sour pork and fried beef gyoza - that’s one of the best lunch you can get! I also had the gyoza. I think it is good for Korean food standards! The combo $13 and a steamed pork gyoza, my bill was $26 before tip. One downside of this location is the valet. They charge to park from 11:30 am all day.

First time I came here was around 5-4 years ago with my back then boyfriend and now husband <3 we were high-schoolers and we've loved the place since. During covid they had a very well set up delivery system and it helped out a lot. We recently went back for some jjajangmyung (black bean noodles) and tansuyuk (sweet and sour pork). The flavor of the sauce is awesome, the crunchy pork along with the sweet and sour sauce is out of the world as well. Prices are cheap compared to other places. I wanna give credit to the waiter Kyu for making our experience even better for his lovely attitude towards us. First time we came here years ago he gifts us an origami piece and years later he's still entertaining us with his funny antics. 😁 Food is awesome, service is satisfying and the atmosphere is very comfy. We'll be back!

It was my first time trying this spot, and I wasn't disappointed! Got the black bean noodles, pork dumplings, and some egg rolls. Everything was absolutely delicious! Our server was also very nice! Overall, it was a great experience!

Feel pretty bummed out. I used to love this place but today the jjm came out cold and the noodles were tough, the shrimp wasn’t as soft and flavorful, and the dumplings were okay. Wasn’t the best :(

This is such a bang for your buck! One of my favorite cheap eats in LA. Me and my friend shared Jajangmyeon and the free dumplings (if you check in in yelp!!). We only payed about $7 dollars each (with tax and tip) and it was delicious. For the price there really isn’t anything to complain about, would totally come back :)))

Great noodles to match a classic much loved dish in JaJiangMien! The noodle itself besides the sauce makes or breaks it. The sauce was thick but not too thick and not overpowering. Extra seasoning is provided to darken and deenen and aalten your noodles if so desired. The ingredients in the sauce were fresh vegetables consisting of zucchini and onion. Overall a great dish.
