This is a soybean paste that has a really good smell of fire. Excellent.

I visited because I heard the soybean paste was delicious, and the sweet and sour pork was also delicious.

I can't believe there is a restaurant like this in Gaebong-dong... If you live in Gaebong-dong, don't go far to eat soy sauce and come here~~^^ This is a Gaebong Chinese restaurant with good prices and good taste. A long-established Chinese restaurant in the neighborhood that attracts many customers even without a single advertisement. It tastes just like the old days and Jjajang. Jjambbong and fried rice are both delicious!

This place is an unexpected feast. First of all, it is unexpected that an old couple does this. I thought it would be done by Chinese people due to the usual regional and preconceived notions about naming Hwaseungwon, but it has been run for a long time by an elderly Korean couple who love their local hometown. The price is also unexpected. A set of two bowls of sweet and sour pork and black bean noodles costs 18,000 won. This is the price in Seoul. Above all, the owner's skills are surprising rather than unexpected. Without exaggeration, the Ganjjajang is not inferior at all compared to Gongdeok Shinseong-gak or Hakdong Hongmyeong, which are famous for their Ganjjajang. The sweet and sour pork is stir-fried style, and one bite brings back memories of my childhood. What kind of rhetoric is needed other than saying it’s delicious? This is a place where you can't help but think that this is a Chinese restaurant where every single ingredient and cleanliness of the open kitchen are top notch. I would be grateful if you could continue your business in good health for a long time.

Although it is not a thick, thick soybean paste, it is a real soybean paste that is stir-fried in a wok as soon as you order a bowl. For 7,000 won, this is great.

The portion size is large for the price and it is delicious!!! Very tasty🥰🥰🥰 Recommended for those who like the old-fashioned sweet and sour pork style or those who like soybean paste! Of course, the Jjambbong is also delicious. I don't think I can go often because it's far away, but I will visit again haha. I didn't even know I had dropped my card, so I came out after eating and was walking quite far, and the owner brought it to me. Thank you.

I visited after hearing rumors, but the taste was disappointing. The price is cheap, but if it were me, I would pay a little more and eat the delicious jjajang and jjamppong. There's a Palgong in front of my house, and there's Daebakgak and Choma Myeonga near my work, so it's just cheap and shabby. But fortunately there were many customers.

I'm a local resident whose house is just around the corner. I always enjoy the food. The owner is so kind and nice. In the past, regular Jjajang didn't suit my taste, but I tried it again today just in case, and I wonder if my taste has changed or the owner's recipe has changed a bit. It's okay!! Still, the soybean paste is the most delicious haha. But it would be nice if the soybean paste is a little milder. I like the jjambbong because it is not spicy. It seems like they don't add anything like capsaicin and use only red pepper powder!! The squid is soft and the mussels are frozen and shriveled, which is a bit disappointing. However, they are cheap and delicious, so I hope they stay in business for a long time^^
