TzuyangTzuyang’s reviewHighly recommended

“The crispy tangsuyuk and Buyong crab meat stir-fry stand out”

  • Tangsuyuk (sweet and sour pork)BestCrispy even with the sauce poured over, and not greasy
  • Buyong crab meat stir-fryGreat aroma, a fresh taste, nicely salty
  • Dongpayuk (braised pork belly)Not tough; tender and chewy

Liked

  • Tangsuyuk stays crispy even with the sauce poured over
  • Dishes are tender and well seasoned overall
  • Even the fried rice is well seasoned

Downsides

  • The jjamppong is mild and not spicy or intense
  • The fried rice comes without separate black bean sauce
Would return
Came back after enjoying it on a previous visit
Good for
A group ordering many dishes to share
Tips
  • Dip the Buyong crab meat stir-fry in Rain's special sauce
  • Tangsuyuk stays crispy even when the sauce is poured over (bumeok style)

“The jajangmyeon and crispy tangsuyuk are superb, I want to come back”

  • Jajangmyeon (noodles in black bean sauce)BestSauce with potatoes, tier-1 taste of childhood
  • Tangsuyuk (Korean sweet and sour pork)Crispy even with the sauce poured on, and the sauce is thin and not sour
  • Gochu-jjamppong (spicy seafood noodle soup)Spicy and refreshing, noodles are springy

Liked

  • Noodles are springy with no floury taste
  • The black pepper beef is tender
  • Renovated and clean

Downsides

  • The kanpungwang shrimp has quite a strong ginger aroma
  • The gochu-jjamppong has a lot of pepperoncino
Wait
Filmed during break time; usually there is a wait…
Hours
Has a break time
Atmosphere
Clean after renovation, with traces of its long tradition
Service
The owner couple allowed filming and were kind
Would return
10000% willing to come back
Tips
  • Chinese-style cold noodles are summer only, sold until just before Chuseok
  • Eat the tangsuyuk right when it comes out for the crispiest texture
  • Dipping the garlic-sauce shrimp in the tangsuyuk sauce at the end is tasty too
