SEOUL JANGTEO

The staff always package everything very nicely so that it doesn’t spill. While the prices seem steep on the delivery apps, the portions are huge! I always end up portioning the food into multiple meals.

Their jjajangmyeon and tangsuyuk are solid options but I recently discovered some gems on their menu that I wish I knew about earlier: the soondae gukbap and gganpung pork!

The soondae gukbap is rich and packed with a lot of pork. I wouldn’t mind the dish having more soondae but the pork itself is super tender. This is not a dish for anybody trying to eat lean because there is quite a bit of fat, but that is what makes it so rich! The pepper paste, sliced peppers, perilla seeds, and fermented shrimp that the dish comes with add so much depth and dimension.

I always thought that tangsuyuk was the best one could get when it comes to sweet-and-sour fried pork, but somehow the gganpung pork is even better. Maybe it’s the extra garlic and onion aroma? The pork already comes smothered in sauce but still stays crispy!

I look forward to the day I finally get to visit this spot in person, but for now I will stay a loyal delivery customer.

Service was fast and portions were pretty big! Split between 4 people and we had a bit of leftovers (we’re also quite big eaters too)!

Banchan: only 3 options. Wasn’t the biggest fan of the kimchi but the radish was yummy!

Seafood pancake: 9/10; flavorful and yummy! Soy sauce vinegar paired well.

Seafood Jjamppong: 10/10; we got the extra noodz and seafood! Super nice for a colder night! It hit the spot; not too spicy and there was a good ratio of noodles, seafood, vegetables, and soup. Soup was hearty!

Pork Dupbap: 9/10; on the spicier side but was super yummy! Came in a stone pot that kept the pork nice and warm. Pork was a bit on the tougher side but the flavors were great!

Japchae: 8/10; a bit salty for my taste but portions were huuuge and was delicious! Good amount of vegetables too!

I was on the hunt for a restaurant that had good jjajangmyeon to celebrate Black Day last week (cries), and my friend recommended me this spot, so I was excited to finally give it a try after passing by the area loads of times.

So of course, my friends and I ordered the jjajangmyeon (we got 2 orders for the three of us), and we also had a small order of the tangsuyook. Everything was super delicious! The jjajangmyeon was so yummy, with well-cooked pork bites in the slightly-sweet sauce complementing the wonderfully-cooked noodles (and the veggies that lended great contrast to the dish in both flavour and texture). Tangsuyook was amazing as well – perfectly fried with a nice, crispy exterior and a juicy, flavourful interior. We also got the pan-fried dumplings: certainly fine but nothing too special, and I think a bit pricey for the amount.

Portion sizes in general, though, are pretty large (and we actually got some of the noodles wrapped up to take with us), so it’s definitely a good value for the price. I’m surprised I haven’t even been here before

My kids loved it! We got seafood jjambong, jjajang for kids two pan fried dumplings and tangsooyuk large. It was a much improved from the bukyung that i knew. I heard a chef came to provide a solution and thus significant improvement. The noodles in jjajang was kinda small portioned where it was not enough for my kids (5&9) to share. My 9 year old devoured 2 orders of pan fried dumplings. The seafood jjbong was not greasy. The broth was light and had good flavor. Going back tonight to meet friends and trying other korean dishes this time. Ohh also! We have peanut and treenut allergies and we were ok after eating here. But ill stay away of u r allergic to sesame.

Update: we went back for the korean soups: beef soup and blood sausage soup. They were both very good but I thought the blood sausage soup was richer in taste while the beef soup was less dense tasting. I wish they could put more blood sausage in the soup or have add on options. Ohh this time we ordered extra noodles on side to add to jjajang and jjambong. There is enough sauce and soup to accommodate the one extra order of noodles.

There aren’t many choices to get the type of food they sell here and thankfully they do it well.

Their service is prompt but not overbearing and food portions are great.

I aways get their jjamppong and it hits the spot.
