Ihwaru (이화루)

Tzuyang’s reviewHighly recommended

“Bibim jjamppong lives up to its signature status with strong wok flavor and rich umami”

• Bibim Jjamppong (mixed spicy seafood noodles)BestThe sauce is a work of art, truly tastes like jjamppong
• Bibim Jjamjjamyeon (half jjamppong, half jjajangmyeon, mixed)Jjamppong side is strong, jjajang side is sweet and smooth
• Jjajangmyeon (black bean noodles)Moist sauce, chewy noodles that get better as they cool

Atmosphere

Old-fashioned, cozy neighborhood feel

Service

The owner gave us sikhye (sweet rice punch) as a gift

Would return

Said they want to try jjamppong rice next time

Good for

When you want bold Chinese-Korean food, not something bland

Tips

• Signatures are bibim jjamppong and bibim jjamjjamyeon
• Mixing rice into the jjamppong broth would be a killer finish
• Gan-jjajang can only be ordered for 2 or more
