날씨도 흐리고 짜장면 생각이 나서 신촌에 오랜단골집에 왔어요. 추억의 맛집, 여전히 사람 많네요.

배달만 시켜보다가 홀 방문은 처음인데 굉장히 넓네요 직원분들도 친절하고 마늘볶음밥 여전히 죤맛임

20년여년전에 처음알고 잠실쪽으로 이사가서 못왔었는데 신촌온김에 생각나서 백짬뽕을 먹으러왔어요!!이름은 짬뽕이지만 매콤느낌은 1도 없고 역시나 해산물이 많아서 좋아요!! 면이 퍼진스타일을 선호해서 해산물을 먼저먹고 면을 좀더익혀서 먹었어요! 이런날씨에 딱이예요

항암 치료중. 병실에서 탕수육이. 먹고싶어 검색.. 먹고싶었던맛. 따듯한 음식. 병실에서 마지막 저녁을 즐겁게 할수 있었어요. 다음에는 매장에서 식사 기대해봅니다

국물이 보통의 짬뽕들과는 다르다. 사골로 우려낸 국밥같은 느낌... 아므든 한참 맛있게 먹다가 돌이 씹히길래 뱉으니 돌이 아니네... 내 금 인레이 탈락ㅜㅠ

Visited on Yonsei graduation day. The foreign part-time staff was unhelpful, and I ordered jjamppong but got a tiny portion like something from a course meal. The bokkeumbap (fried rice) was super lazily made too — barely ate any and left most of it. The baby utensils were dirty and uncomfortable to use.

#Bokseunggak #Sinchon #ChineseFood A 70-year-old legendary Chinese restaurant and Sinchon institution. The jjamppong-sundubu-bap is like a jjamppong version of sundubu-jjigae — packed with soft tofu, squid, shrimp, onion, and bean sprouts, great for hangover recovery. The bulbap (fire rice) is a spicy stir-fried rice with beef, cheongyang chili, and bean sprouts in chili oil — honestly spicier than the jjamppong. My top pick is the galbi-jjamppong — more generous galbi than most galbi-tang restaurants, with rich broth and huge portions. Mushrooms and bok choy balance out the richness perfectly. Overall: generous, spicy, great value. ★★★★☆

Gotta eat lots of gul-jjamppong (oyster jjamppong) while it's in season!
