As requested by one of my followers, I shall post a review of this “hidden gem” relatively near to Korea University, and also a stone’s throw away from the guesthouse I am currently residing in. Having been here twice, I must admit that the Jajjangmyeon (typically the black bean paste sauce) was one of the best I’ve had so far in Seoul as it was flavourful without being too overwhelming, with a good balance of sweet and savoury. Despite my long photo-taking season (as usual🤭), the noodles did not turn soggy at all and still retained an al dente texture to the bite 😋. The jjamppong came with the typical assorted seafood ingredients comprising of mussels, squid (why no prawns though 😭), along with shredded carrots and sliced onions for that added crunch factor. The stew is spicy, one that’s mellow and not intense or overwhelming, so great for those with a low threshold for spice! 👍🏻 Tbh, it was no kick for me and I would have love if there was a greater fiery factor here 🤭. Personally, I prefer the fried rice over the Jjamppong which is topped with an omelette (embedded with diced cucumbers and carrot) and served with Jajjang sauce (aka. black bean paste sauce) that’s the MAIN HIGHLIGHT here 🤩. Stir fried with onion slices, it was surprisingly a good companion to the fried rice (would be even better if there’s Wok Hei in it, which is unfortunately lacking here😢) but nevertheless, I still enjoyed it and would definitely make a return trip for this Jajjangmyeon (or jajjang fried rice)! 💕 On a side note, there’s also complimentary kimchi, pickles and sliced onions served here that’s refillable as well upon request (love how korean cuisines almost and always comes with free side dishes 😍)! Service was also welcoming and pleasant, which is also a bonus point here and of course, more reason for me to visit this eatery again .
