Cheongsan Chinese Restaurant (청산중화요리)

Kim Sawon’s reviewHighly recommended

“The tangsuyuk and gan-jjajang are top-notch at around ₩5,500”

• Tangsuyuk (sweet and sour pork, small)BestStays crispy to the end, well-balanced sauce
• Gan-jjajang (stir-fried black bean noodles)Well-cooked onions and rich sauce, top tier at ₩5,500
• Bokkeumbap (fried rice)Full of smoky wok aroma, with distinct grains of rice

Price

Gan-jjajang ₩5,500

Atmosphere

A neighborhood old-timer joint full of middle-aged guys, great for drinking

Service

The owner thoughtfully splits the jjamppong and gives extra jjamppong broth for free

Would return

Said they hope the owners keep running the place for a long, long time

Good for

A drinking night for two with a glass of soju

Value

Crazy-good value for the middle of Seoul

Tips

• A small tangsuyuk is enough for two people
• Ordering fried rice comes with a side of jjamppong broth
• The samseon jjamppong is split for you, so it's easy for two to share
